What the Helvetica part II! Seriously why is everyone so worried about resume fonts?

Quick post here.  Apparently this whole resume font thing is a pretty big deal.  I just read another article that talks about how boring fonts can really hurt you:


Here’s the deal, I have a hard time that an employer cares if you used Times New Roman or not.  Comic Sans… that’s a different story.  While we are at it, here are a couple of other things that potential employers don’t care about:

  • Your GPA
  • Your college awards – sorry Dean’s list
  • Your college activities – I’ve never seen someone hired for being on intramurals
  • Your interests – if you like dogs and walks on the beach and share it you might get a date..
