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.

Hi everyone. Looking for some advice here on a PM offer I have just received.
I’ve had two interviews for a Data Product Manager, one with Hr and one with Hiring Manager and a team member and they are already offering me the role, mentioning that they were impressed with me and they want to get someone on board asap.
Would you find this as a red flag? Whilst I feel flattered and it’s great news, it’s giving me slight worries.

Can manager openly block my application on an internal job? Is this okay to fly by? Monthly (1.5 years) kept up with discussion about career aspirations and goals within the company with M. I found a great opportunity that I fit within skillset, informed him that I had applied. M claimed that I blindsided him about my application and would not go with it. I reached out to HR and got the interview, he questioned me they are not moving forward but recruiting team did move forward.
