    If I change it all to Arial it doesn't fit on two pages anymore -
    Maybe this is where the multi pagers are going wrong!

    Lucida Console looks good for the beardy geeky types though.
    Won't get them a gig, but they'll feel at home.
    TNR is a fine manly font. Walk tall my young Bumbstublian.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

      Aye, you'll never get a gig but it's a "fine manly font".

        Any ClientCo that rejects a CV based on the use of fine manly fonts is not a ClientCo I want to work for

            I applaud his firm stance. I too think anyone who uses Times New Roman is probably a sociopath.
            Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

              I used to use Arial 10. But, I found the cv was going over 3 pages even with 4 bullet pointed sentences for the last 3 jobs.

              Changing it to Arial 9 looked too small. By chance I came across Calibri 9 which looked as big as Arial 10 yet returned my cv to 3 pages.

              Sorted.
              I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

                Oi, I resemble that remark.

                Googles:-
                A person with antisocial personality disorder. Probably the most widely recognized personality disorder.

                Oh, as you were then.

                Edit:- Googles a bit more:-
                a person with a psychopathic personality whose behavior is antisocial, often criminal, and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience.

                So that's most of the prolific posters on here then!

                  Aye. The real baddies.

                  I must admit though, I might give Calibri a go.

                  Life on the edge.

                    I use Calibri 11.


                    9 is WAY too small.
