Re: quick resume question
10 point font for Times is acceptable. 11 is probably middle of the road and what I use all the time when writing a letter.

Re: quick resume question
12 inch Times New Roman is a pretty safe bet.

I ended up using 11 and everything fit perfectly, without looking too small.
Thank you!!

I cut over a page off of mine (my old one was 2 pages), but since its a complete career change, i only put the applicable material (i figure i could ramble on about everything else at the interview)

Re: quick resume question
I'd use a font that an old person can read. No smaller than 11. In my field, I see mostly 2-3 page resumes anyway.
