How important is the font you use on your resume? I’ve always used Times New Roman size 12, because that’s what we used in college. But I was recently told my resume was unimaginative

I use whatever the default is when I open word, it hadn't occurred to me to change up my font choices

I've never considered it, I just go with whatever the template I'm editing was using. I'm sure there's some ideal font to use, but I can't imagine it making too big of a difference. It seems odd to think that they'd call out your font usage specifically since it's not like you were using Windings or Comic Sans. Maybe they were referring to the rest of the resume instead?

I use calibri size 12 on mine bc I read it’s ATS-friendly

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
