Here are today's fresh opportunities for Wednesday, March 25th:

You spent hours perfecting your resume content.

Then you chose a font that makes it look like a middle school project.

Fonts matter more than you think.

Bad resume fonts:

❌ Comic Sans (never, ever)
❌ Papyrus
❌ Brush Script
❌ Courier New (looks like a typewriter)
❌ Impact
❌ Any decorative or handwriting fonts

Good resume fonts:

✅ Calibri (clean, modern, default on many systems)
✅ Arial (classic, highly readable)
✅ Helvetica (professional, clean lines)
✅ Georgia (if you want serifs)
✅ Garamond (elegant serif option)
✅ Times New Roman (traditional, safe choice)

The rules:

Font size:

Font style:

What recruiters look for:

Clean. Readable. Professional.

If your font makes them squint or work harder to read, they'll move to the next resume.

The ATS consideration:

Applicant Tracking Systems can't always read fancy fonts. Stick to standard fonts to make sure your resume gets parsed correctly.

Font combinations to avoid:

Don't mix multiple fonts. Pick one and stick with it.

Your resume isn't a design project - it's a professional document.

Examples:

Bad: Name in Brush Script, headers in Impact, body in Comic Sans
(Looks chaotic and unprofessional)

Good: Everything in Calibri, name at 20pt, headers at 12pt bold, body at 11pt
(Clean, scannable, professional)

The Microsoft Word default:

Calibri 11pt is perfectly fine. You don't need to overthink this.

Most recruiters see hundreds of resumes in Calibri and it doesn't hurt you at all.

When design matters more:

If you're applying for design roles (graphic design, UX/UI), your resume design matters more. You can be slightly more creative.

But even then: readability first, creativity second.

Do this today:

Open your resume. Check your font.

If it's anything other than Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, Garamond, or Times New Roman - change it.

Make sure your body text is 10-11pt, headers are 12-14pt, and your name is 18-22pt.

Save it. You're done.

Content gets you the interview. But bad formatting loses it before they even read.
