"Honestly, I don't care much about the font of a resume, as long as it's clear and in PDF format. Sales Recruiting Manager Kelsey Freedman agreed. "I'm more concerned about whether the resume is formatted in a clean way – submitting a PDF is helpful with this, so your formatting doesn't shift." "I typically don't pay too much attention to font," said Heta Patel former HubSpot recruiter. Most recruiters I spoke with were hesitant to even offer a font at all.

To Montes’ point, certain more creative roles might benefit from a more unique font than Times New Roman. Ultimately, you'll want to consider the position for which you're applying when you're choosing a font. "Avenir Next and Muna are two great options if you are looking to break the status quo." "It's totally acceptable – and becoming more common – for candidates to stray away from the resume norms of Times New Roman and Calibri," she said. "Keep it clean and simple."įranco added that Arial and Calibri are great choices if you want to play it safe.īridget LeMon, global emerging talent and university recruiting manager at HubSpot, echoes this. "Recruiters have an idea of the skills they are looking for on a resume, so if you try a new style or format, it can be tougher for recruiters to find the information they are looking for," he said. Helvetica is widely used in the advertising industry and works equally well for text-heavy pages and documents.Ī lesser-known font that’s a great option for your resume is Garamond, recommended by our current team lead of engineering recruiting at HubSpot, Rich Lapham. "The latter is also designed to read well on screens." "My two favorite fonts are Helvetica, if you're looking for a clean and classic look, and Georgia, if you're going after a more modern and fun look," she said. Paulina Valdez Franco, executive recruiter at HubSpot, agrees with this take. In fact, it’s the font used by The New York Times. One font that’s similar to Times is Georgia, it’s a bit wider making it easier to read. "Overall, I would just stay away from a font like Times New Roman, it’s overused and reminds me of long nights writing course papers in college."

"For me, it’s all about legibility and cleanliness – I prefer sans-serif fonts like Helvetica over serif fonts like Times New Roman," said technical recruiter at HubSpot, Glory Montes. It was the go-to font for many years, but lately, some are opting against it. Times New Roman has become a bit controversial lately. "I find the classic formatting and Times font to be helpful when reading a dense resume from an experienced MBA candidate." Riley Kundtz, former senior MBA campus recruiter at HubSpot, agreed. I’m a little old school, but I think they are the cleanest and exude professionalism," said Johanna Fleming, a former senior recruiter at HubSpot. "I’m a big fan of the 'classics' for resumes – Times New Roman, Arial, Calibri, Helvetica, and Cambria. When speaking with recruiters, it quickly became clear that classic fonts are still the best options. To evoke a sense of style, professionalism, and uniqueness, it's critical you put effort and consideration into your font choice. I will preface this with my personal history.With only six seconds to demonstrate your qualifications for a position, every detail counts. I’m ok with using another language like Markdown, as long as there is a way to apply style ( change font, align text ,etc ) to the document before I deliver it to a recruiter or hiring manager. Please leave a comment if you have any experience with what I’m trying to achieve. I’ll probably start installing and configuring things tomorrow night after work since it’s already pretty late where I am.

While I’ve found examples of “tex” and “cls” files all over the Web, I haven’t found any guides on how to install and configure the software necessary for this work. ĭoes anyone know of guide to doing this? Below I detail how far my guess work has gotten me. I looks like LaTeX combined with pandoc and achieve this while also allowing me to send my resume out in different formats ( docx, pdf, html ).
