7 Worst Fonts to Avoid on Your Resume

5. Zapfino (and all similar)

There’s nothing wrong with Zapfino if you’re planning to use it for the banner for your blog, or for printing out a party invitation, but this connected script isn’t the best choice for a resume.

That’s mainly because it can be difficult to read, especially since time is of the essence and human resources specialists don’t like wasting time trying to figure out if that’s an “e” or an “o” in there. Either way, connected scripts, no matter how pretty they look (and they’re really so cute) just aren’t right for a professional occasion such as a resume.
