Don't pick something 'creative.' Pick something modern, clean and easily read: Brandon Grotesque, Raleway, Dense, Helvetica Neu, Ditot, Proxima....

Comic Sans.

Papyrus

I used Avenir. Looks clean, simple, and modern. Doesn’t look fancy, just professional

Try Gotham. It is a superfamily with a lot of weights, which will allow you to create clear typographic hierarchy in your resume by just using Gotham (i.e. Not needing to mix too many typefaces.)

Bleeding Cowboy for your header. It will show personality.

In seriousness, try Gotham or Helvetica with different weights.

Thank you! I like proxima nova the best from the suggestions. Is it overused on resumes?

Proxima is a free Helvetia. You’re fine

I use hobo, papyrus and comic sans. Randomly

I used calibri and thought it looked good. What do you think??

OP, I think Proxima Nova is a good choice, I also like Aviner, Helvetica, Gotham... all those are used often but for a resume you don't want your fonts to stand out. It just needs to do its job, be clean and legible.

Good luck on the resume, and the upcoming job search?

☝️Perfect!

You can get creative with the header. Just keep the rest of the text simple.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Have a final round of interviews as a remote candidate for a team that mainly lives in NYC. Hiring manager said during first interview that my location / remote status doesn’t matter and he has no concerns with hiring remotely for the role.
