When choosing the font, keep in mind that most people use a “standard” fonts like Arial or Times New Roman. If your resume gets electronically scanned, it will be easier for the software that reads it, to understand the characters on the page. Unless it is appropriate, using something non-standard may make it look odd or undesirable.
If it is light on content, you can use a larger size font to fill it in a little to look more substantial. The opposite is true if you have too much text, but again, don't choose a font that is too small, someone still has to read it. It would be better to trim your text than try to cram it all on there, then make the text so small that no one can see it. Not everyone has the patience to sit there and decipher your tiny text.
Choosing a color is another decision to be made. You may be tempted to pick a color that readily stands out. If this is a normal practice in your field, then, by all means, do so, but in most cases, it isn't. To be safe, you may want to use a “standard” color. It is customary to use contrasting text colors like black or dark blue. You can also choose the colors of the design accents.
The accent and text colors can be selected independently, but don't choose distracting colors for either one. We do offer “odd” colors too because we attempt to anticipate what our guests needs might be. For some, they may be the correct choices for others they may not. If you want to be on the safe side, again, use either the same color for both the text and accents or choose different complimentary colors. Note that not all styles incorporate accent elements in their designs.
Think about what selections would best support what you have written. We want to improve our chances of getting hired, not hinder them. More in-depth information regarding font and color selections is at the address shown here:
