Choose thine resume fonts wisely. Career Coach JobJenny

Choose thine resume fonts wisely. Career Coach JobJenny When you send a resume over to an HR person or hiring manager, it's always best that your resume is crafted using one or more fonts that the reviewer has installed on his or her computer.If they don't have that same font? Don't freak, necessarily. Because the reviewer's computer will likely have an alternate font and they'll still be able to review the resume.But will it look good? Will the formatting go all to hell?Maybe, yep.So you really should consider using one of the most commonly installed fonts.Here are the top 10 Word fonts, according to www.codestyle.org. TahomaMicrosoft Sans SerifArial (this one is overused, in my opinion)Courier NewTimes New Roman (also overused, says me)VerdanaTebuchet MSGeorgiaLucida ConsoleComis Sans (use this on your resume and you deserve to be slapped)And here are a handful of LEAST commonly installed fonts. Stay away from these:TextileGadgetTerminalFuturaApple ChanceryChoose wisely. An obscure font may look all unique and jazzy on your computer, bu t translate into a full-on mess on theirs.That is all.
