Your resume is a place to express individuality and style. However, some fonts and style choices could present too much of a challenge for the scanner. If you follow the tips below, the system will be better able to extract your information accurately. Font-Standard serif and sans serif fonts work best. Avoid ornate fonts and fonts where the characters touch.
Font size is also important.
Sizes between 10 points and 14 points work best. Italics and underlining may cause problems for the scanner, especially if combined. Use boldface for emphasis. Vertical or horizontal lines should be used sparingly. When used, leave at least a quarter of an inch of space around the line.
