Have you wondered what the right mix of fonts for your resume are, and how they might be perceived by employers?
Here’s a list of the most common fonts that are likely to be scanned well by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and are easy enough to read for recruiters to find information quickly.
Pick no more than three complementary fonts if you plan to alternate headings, subheadings, and normal text, and stay consistent overall.

Note, this a sample of appropriate choices with sufficient variety to pick a favorite, though honorable mentions go out to Didot and Book Antiqua. :)
â—Ź Times New Roman (a classic)
â—Ź Garamond (great for Finance resumes)
â—Ź Georgia (provides a cursive feel without the illegibility of cursive fonts)
â—Ź Cambria (polished)
â—Ź Calibri (common across industries, replacing Times as the new MS Word default)
â—Ź Tahoma (approachable and inviting)
â—Ź Arial (basic, easy to read)
● Helvetica (the world’s most commonly used font)
â—Ź Verdana (modern and sleek)

What’s your go-to font? 👇

Your future employees need more transparency into your company.

It’s important for companies to gain some awareness on what they can realistically offer and own up to those standards because candidates will appreciate the honesty and transparency that you share with them.

Don’t be afraid to let candidates know the good and the bad.

If organizations can be more upfront with their requirements, it shows them as more inclusive and authentic during the job search process.

And you never know, maybe that honesty is enough for a candidate to take your job and STAY, knowing exactly what the climate they're walking into is.

There is nothing wrong with some transparency, when it comes to your retention strategy, the more the better.

Have you given your mind a break yet?

It’s important to match the intensity of your work stress with the intensity of your recovery.

But what does that mean?

Well, if you have a busy day at work, give yourself time after work to do activities that let you rest and recover for the next day! This can help you decrease your burnout rate during the week and prevent carrying that weight of stress and anxiety onto the next day.

Jeff Riseley, the Founder of Sales Health Alliance, used the comparison between our mind and body and treating our work days like workout days. This analogy is a great way to understand the recovery process that our minds need to get back into its optimal state. If we start handling our brain the same way as our body, we will feel better about ourselves and our stress.

For example, if we’re working out and we tear a muscle or experience more soreness than usual, we are told that we need to take the rest of the week off or slow down a bit. So why not do that when we are burnt out from work?

This is not to say stop working, because we normally can’t just take the week off on a whim, but the message here is to incorporate self-care routines into our workday and intentionally relax on our days off.

The world won’t stop for you but you are allowed to pause for a bit and take a few deep breaths before you go back to the grind.

To learn more on how to take care of yourself during the stress of work, check out Season 1, Episode 6: Mental Health in Sales with Jeff Riseley.
