Based on the suggestions of Twitter friends, attorney friends, non-attorney friends, and a friend who works at CareerBuilder and has access to 79 gazillion attorney resumes, I am pretty happy with the way it looks right now.
Apparently I have an obsession with fonts. I didn't realize I did, but I do. (Confession: I even watched the documentary "Helvetica" on Netflix, which is about - you guessed it - fonts! I mayyyy also have a documentary obsession.)
So naturally, one of the hardest parts of re-doing my resume was picking the right font.
A twitter friend linked me to this website, and I spent hours last night poring over it.
For the moment I have settled on Century Schoolyard, and now I'm just waiting to insert the last missing line before my resume is complete...
"Legally Fabulous is admitted to practice in the State of Illinois."
(just a couple days til bar results. gulp.)
So - what font is your resume in?!
Garamond. It's the best. Duh.
ReplyDeleteTahoma cause it eats lesser fonts for breakfast (I'm looking at you Times New Roman).
ReplyDeleteTimes New Roman. :( I'm not cool.
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely try Comic Sans. KIDDING!!!
ReplyDeleteCouple days! Yay! I haven't had a resume in years. I don't even know what would go on it. My job is so random.
ReplyDeleteWow. The realization that we will be putting that into our resumes just freaked out me. Good luck on your results!
ReplyDeleteI use Book Antiqua. Must have been pretty good, got me 7 job offers my last semester in college!
ReplyDeleteI assume the Bar exam results brought you good news??
ReplyDeletei personally like comic sans because it says that i'm FUN and carefree.
