Since
scanning equipment may differ from company to company, it�s
best to err on the conservative side when choosing fonts
that will be easily read by the software.
Therefore,
avoid all �designer� fonts that are difficult for a human
being to read. If
anything, the scanning software will have even more difficulty.
It�s
best to stick with classic fonts like Arial, which is san
serif, or Times New Roman, a popular serif font.
Other good choices are Garamond, Bookman, Courier
New, and Century Schoolbook.

size
Don�t
make the software work extra hard to read all the characters
in your resume, as this may lead to mistakes and missed
keywords. It�s
best to use a font size between 9 and 12, depending upon
the font.
