00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.977
One of the first impressions
your employer will have of

00:00:03.012 --> 00:00:06.150
you is based on the visual
appearance of your resume.

00:00:06.185 --> 00:00:08.926
Even though there are
quite literally thousands of

00:00:08.961 --> 00:00:12.208
typefaces or fonts available
for little cost these days,

00:00:12.243 --> 00:00:14.811
it is usually best to stick
with the traditional,

00:00:14.846 --> 00:00:18.468
classic fonts such as Arial
and Times Roman or their

00:00:18.503 --> 00:00:19.569
close counterparts.

00:00:19.604 --> 00:00:22.709
These two fonts are widely
accepted as being highly

00:00:22.744 --> 00:00:24.549
readable and reproducible.

00:00:24.584 --> 00:00:27.721
You usually will want to
choose just one font for

00:00:27.756 --> 00:00:30.555
your entire resume,
then use its variations,

00:00:30.590 --> 00:00:33.665
such as bold or italics,
for highlighting information.

00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:36.917
The body text should be 10 to
12 points in size;

00:00:36.952 --> 00:00:38.614
you may wish to make
the headings and your

00:00:38.649 --> 00:00:39.867
name a bit larger.
