Resumes are no fun. I've spent most of my evening trying to cram those last three lines (you know the ones) onto the one page that will summarize my professional (a-hem!) career-thus-far for my future employment prospects. Jobs are like girlfriends, you only need one, but you have to try for many in the hopes that one will work out. Fellow entering 2Ls, the time is upon us. Commence operation resume drop. My plan is to literally drop my resumes over four major cities. I'll be releasing thousands of copies (and one original) from a low flying aircraft, possibly a hot air balloon, later this week.

Actually my strategy is much simpler. Over the last couple days I've become obsessed with a font known as Palatino. Apparently it's big on the Mac, and merely "supported" on Windows. This is just fine with me because my resume will stand out with an elegance that can't quite be figured out. It's a sort of hypnosis technique. (Carefull reading my resume, you may just want to hire me.)

Palatino was developed by Hermann Zapf in 1948. It was originally created as a commercial type-face, but was adopted for use in books. Macintosh further popularized the font by including it as part of its operating system. "Classical Italian Renaissance letterforms blend with the crispness of line needed for twentieth-century printing processes, and Palatino’s generous width aids readability at small sizes." - adobe
