Garamond

not as big deal as long as it's consistent and it doesn't just look plain weird.

Any recommendations for a good compliment to Garamond italics?

Thinking of decreasing font size to 10 to fit more. Do you guys think 10 may be too small?

10 is way too small.

11 and up is fine.

Perpetua 11.5

I use Garamond size 11 for all my resumes and I think even the italics are fine as long as you don't over use it.

Here's an example from the HLS website:

I would honestly just stick to one font. Or use a different generally accepted font that no one will balk at - times new roman, arial, trebuchet MS, etc.

No one will ding you for using garamond just because it looks weird italicized (I guess it looks a bit smaller, but not weird to me), and I don't think anyone's going to look at it and think "hey, this guy decided to use a different font to pair it nicely with garamond because garamond in italics looks weird". Conversely, someone very anal may find it strange someone is using two different fonts.

Alright cool thanks for the advice. I just think Times New Roman and the more traditional ones look so plain and elementary. What do you guys think about pulling my bullet points all the way to the left edge of my resume instead of indenting them (like the resume posted above has). I have been doing this and it fits a lot more text, but I see indented bullets so much that I think its more of a formality than anything else. Should I be doing this?

^ Glad we're on the same page. There is too much white space.

Sorry to keep asking more questions, but what do you recommend the font size of your name at the top be if the rest of the document is size 11 (with section titles at 12)?
