Resume Name Placement
How you display your name on your resume not only personalizes
it, but also sets a conservative or stylish tone for the rest of
your resume. It's important that the font choice you make appeals
to hiring managers in your industry.
Below are example fonts that indicate conservatism.
Note: The examples displayed below are images. Because the
images were manipulated to fit this page and load quickly for you, they are
not to scale and their quality is reduced. Please bear this in mind if you're
evaluating the examples, to judge the quality of ResumeEdge's work.
Thanks!
Times New Roman:
Garamond:
Arial:
The example "designer" fonts below indicate stylishness,
but they are about as stylish as you should get. Avoid extra-fancy
designer fonts, because they might not display well on employers'
computers. More about that is under Fonts & Bullets later
in this section.

Freestyle Script:
Type your name at the very top of each page of your resume, large
enough to distinguish it from the rest of the document and make
it easy for a busy hiring manager to quickly read. Include a page
number on the same line as your name, at the top of every page
beyond page one.

your resume and cover letter an edge!
