What font do you use for your resume?

[silva]

please share.

I'm changing it up a bit so I'm all ears.

I was using Calibri.

[zoidberg]

Comic sans, duh.

Actually I think it's Times New Roman, I use that for everything.

[LLL]

Calibri

It's no wonder you got hired!

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

Cambria. Got to be loyal.

[joshlyman]

Calibri or Tahoma.

[LeggsBenedict]

times new roman. I generally like serifs for smaller print documents.

[seaward]

Helvetica, the old standby.

[silva]

Cochin! ooooh! pretty!

[Birdie]

Helvetica woot! But Helvetica Neue Light or UltraLight (depending on font size) is my new favorite font.

I had never even heard of Calibri until a few days ago. Now I'm wondering if my resume looks dumb and fresh out of schoolish.

No.

You are right.

They are wrong.

(At least in our field.)

[isabel]

Mine is Century Gothic. If it matters, I'm in hospitality.

[RoxMonster]

Mine's 11 point TNR.

[dapotato]

the last version was akkurat. but i'm also in an industry where typeface and design of the resume itself matters.

if i were an attorney or in another industry where it did not matter, i'd use a basic, serif font like times new roman.

j/k I haven't written a resume in a zillion years but I'm sure it was TNR.
