Resume Editing

I spent last night updating my resume for the 800,000th time. 
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?!
