One of the first impressions your employer will have of
you is based on the visual appearance of your resume.
Even though there are quite literally thousands of
typefaces or fonts available for little cost these days,
it is usually best to stick with the traditional,
classic fonts such as Arial and Times Roman or their
close counterparts.
These two fonts are widely accepted as being highly
readable and reproducible.
You usually will want to choose just one font for
your entire resume, then use its variations,
such as bold or italics, for highlighting information.
The body text should be 10 to 12 points in size;
you may wish to make the headings and your
name a bit larger.
