While designing a resume recently I realized the importance of using good fonts in a resume. Though it may not sound like a big deal to most of you, if you do take time out to make "data about you" more presentable for the employers, there's a chance that the single piece of paper works wonders for you.

A well written resume speaks volumes about your interest in giving attention to detail and tells the employer that you haven't just collected data and copy-pasted it on a word document.

If you are in the process of making a beautiful-looking professional resume, chances are that you will find these suggestions a bit handy.

How to choose a font? How to choose between Serif vs. Sans Serif?

Let us first understand the difference between the two categories of fonts.
Now, fonts that come under 'Serif' category are more stylized (curves, baselines) and have decorative markings on them. The best and common examples are - Times New Roman and Century.
Whereas the ones under 'Sans Serif' category are very simple and straightforward. There are no curves or hooks. Examples - Verdana and Arial.

Though there are no standard guidelines about which one is better for your resume, there's no need to get confused while choosing from thousands of different fonts available online these days. The mantra is quite simple - The font should be very pleasant on the eyes and should go well with the overall theme of the resume.

I would personally prefer a sans serif font, because it goes with the new-age style of our resume content. While the Serif fonts could look good for headlines or the header part if you choose to divide the resume in 5-6 relevant parts.

I invite the opinion of #-Link-Snipped-# on this and would love it if you pour in your opinions and comments.
