Resume Tip #4: Ensure Font Consistency

This tip requires close attention to detail, and is entirely fundamental to the resume revamp process. Paying close attention to the font styles and sizes within  your resume has many benefits:

• It allows your employer to focus their eyes on important information (Your Name, Previous Job Title etc.)
• It gives your finished product (your resume) a more professional look.
• It helps organize the document in a succinct way.
• It's easier to read at a glance (which most employers do anyway)

So how do you ensure font consistency - you ask? It's easy, just make a list of the fonts, sizes and styles you would like to use throughout your resume. Then click on each line of your resume until you have ensured your resume fonts match up. 

• Title Text (Name)
• Subtitle Text (Phone, Email)
• Header 1 Text (Sections: Personal Objective, Work Experience, Education, Skills)
• Header 2 Text (Job Title, Company, State, Dates)
• Normal Text (Personal Objective Text, Detailed Experience, List of Skills)

Can you think of more benefits to using consistent resume fonts? If so, include them below! Can't wait to read them!

All the best,
