26 Clean Resume Fonts To Help You Make a Good Impression

When was the last time you updated your resume? Have you been applying for jobs this year without any luck? That little piece of paper is your key to getting an interview. That’s why there are thousands of tips online about how to write, improve, and update a resume.

If you’ve done your homework well, your resume could be your ticket to a dream job, or to a new industry.

How To Format a Resume 

Regularly updating your resume – whether or not you’d be looking for a new job soon – is always a good idea. Make sure that anything noteworthy, e.g. recent seminars, achievements, or classes taken, is included. In essence, experience or skills earned between 10 and 15 years should be taken into account.

There are three main types of resume: chronological, functional, and combination. A chronological resume is recommended for those with plenty of work experience. While a functional resume is better for those with employment gaps.

A few of the best practices are:

  • Setting proper margins and spacing;
  • Placing emphasis on essential areas by using bold, underlines, or caps;
  • Using bullet points for quick scanning; and
  • Picking clean, simple fonts that are not distracting.

Most recruiters use an applicant tracking system (ATS) to help them sort through piles of resume everyday. Any of the three aforementioned resume types is a safe bet because they’re easy to read and are scannable. Recruiters only spend about 20-30 seconds scanning a resume. So make sure to write only the most pertinent information, and put them where employers can see those first.

How To Make Your Resume Stand Out

Regardless of niche or industry, there’s one thing recruiters and hiring managers agree on: they want clean, easily scannable documents.

While it can feel tempting to showcase your personality through a creative resume, it’s a huge gamble. One, you need to ensure that the company you’re applying for is open-minded about that. Second, unless it’s in the creative or marketing field, it’s a tough call.

Your best bet is to stick with simple resume formats. But who says you can’t play it up a little? Pairing good, readable fonts can add a bit of jazz to an otherwise bland paper. Just make sure to avoid anything decorative like script or bubble fonts. Also, remember to size your fonts between 10 and 12 points.

Another cool method is adding a letterhead. This is great when applying for sales or marketing positions because it showcases creativity without going overboard. If you’ve been freelancing for instance, and you already have a brand, adding a personalized letterhead shows that you understand branding and marketing concepts.
