Changed my resume font from Times New Roman to something normal
Used to think it looked professional for 4 years. Switched to Calibri last month and got 3 callbacks in 2 weeks. Anyone else have a dumb resume habit they broke?

Nah, I'm with @paul251 here - fonts matter way more than people will admit.

Woah, hold up, let's not give a font THAT much credit, you know? I mean, sure, maybe switching fonts helped a little, but getting three callbacks in two weeks sounds more like your resume content finally clicked with a hiring manager or two. I've seen people blame fonts for years and it's usually just a coincidence when they get noticed after changing it.
