Since scanning equipment
may differ from company
to company, it’s best to
err on the conservative
side when choosing fonts
that will be easily read
by the software.
Therefore, avoid all
“designer” fonts that
are difficult for a
human being to read. If
anything, the scanning
software will have even
more difficulty.
It’s best to stick with
classic fonts like
Arial, which is san
serif, or Times New
Roman, a popular serif
font. Other good
choices are Garamond,
Bookman, Courier New,
and Century Schoolbook.
Font size
Don’t make the software
work extra hard to read
all the characters in
your resume, as this may
lead to mistakes and
missed keywords. It’s
best to use a font size
between 9 and 12,
depending upon the font.
