I don't like the font. Looks too different from most resumes I see.

#

I used it cuz it looked more readable, do you think a recruiter would really care tho?

rugged geode
#

getting rejected based on font alone is rare

#

but if the resume looks too non-standard

#

like too much varying font sizes

#

or just general "weirdness" which yes I know is subjective

#

it goes to the trash

#

not saying its fair

#

but im saying its how it is

#

recruiters are not technically smart

#

and they only have limited time because they have 500 or so resumes they look at

#

its why they focus on top schools

#

and top firms

#

because everyone knows "oh apple, that's a good company"

#

it's not entirely fair

#

but it just is what it is

#

I personally don't like sans serif, but if it's the latest trend and enough people are doing it, then its not a valid reason to reject IMO

gotcha, I think i'll just keep it the same lowk, I don't think its the reason I haven't been getting interviews

#

i think its just luck atp

#

I do think there's too much white space

#

put company, position, dates, and locations all in one line

#

it'll help get rid of the middle empty zones

#

and make it look more dense

#

dense resume is good resume

#

I feel like your margins are really small which makes it feel a little cramped (unless you cropped the image)

#

my margins on my resume is 0.5

#

I guarantee you want small font, small margins, etc

#

make the resume look dense
