Fonts Will Make or Break You Mark Wells, Ph. D

They are not types of mammal, names of places in Africa or titles of award-winning foreign novels. Actually, they are few of the types of fonts that you may find in your word processing if you are using the latest version of Microsoft Word.

But donò€™t be afraid if you do not have any idea about them. I tell you, you do not need to be well versed regarding font types that you may use in drafting your resume. There are only three key factors concerning fonts that you need to consider for you to come up with a professionally looking resume. Learn them by heart and you wonò€™t get into the wrong place.

1.Ò Ò Ò  Use Safe Font Types

Writing a resume is not the time for you to experiment. Leave using cursive fonts for school projects.

You want to appear professional in the eyes of the hiring managers, arenò€™t you? One of the best ways to do this is by using fonts which are also viewed as professionally looking.Ò  But how can you determine if the font type that you are using is the right choice. There is no certain rule about this but to be safe try to use fonts that have stood the test of time in the corporate writing.Ò  Some of the suggested font types that most professional resume writers make use of are font types like Times New Roman, Helvetica, Arial, Garamond and Tahoma.

Companies today are using computers to read resumes. If these computers were unable to read or scan the fonts that you have used, the sure thing is you just miss the chance for the job, not because of the content of your resume but because your font is unfriendly.

2.Ò Ò Ò  Use Safe Font Size

If a good and eye-friendly font type is indispensable, so does a readable font size. If the size of your font is too small it will be difficult to read and there is a big possibility that the one who will read it will not read it further as no one wants to suffer.

As a general rule, use font sizes from 10-point to about 12-point. The size depends on the type of font that you have chosen. For bigger font types like Arial, use 10 or 11, for smaller ones like Garamond, use 12.

For your name, you may use 16 to 20-point font as you need to make your name stand out and show the hiring managers that you are confident.

3.Ò Ò Ò  Do not use more than two types of fonts

You must not use more than two types of fonts. Using three or more font types

will make your resume look disorganized. A cluttered resume will give impression that you are an unsystematic and a confused person.Ò  Obviously employers wonò€™t hire these kinds of individuals. To show that you are very professional and qualified, stick to one or two font types.
