Oh, the great font debate. When you’ve got 10,000 to choose from but a resume to get out the door, what do you do? There are some clear options to avoid, sure, but will you be judged for what you choose? Obviously, the answer there is yes, so choose wisely. Not all of these options are going to get you all excited. After all, the point here is to choose a font that’s easily readable, works well for all sorts of applications and – most importantly – gets you the job. This is not the time to try out something new; you need tried-and-true. That’s why I’ve assembled a list of some of the best fonts for your resume, which should help narrow things down a bit. Maybe.

A resume presents your story by highlighting your skills (the things you do well). Employers initially scan a resume for 30 to 60 seconds, so it needs to be descriptive and concise at the same time. It also needs to be tailored to the organization to which you are applying. We asked a few recruiters to tell us what they notice on a resume in 30 seconds. Check out what they look for in the video below.

Smaller, faster-charging batteries are the answer for affordable and sustainable electric vehicles (EVs) for everyone, everywhere. The ability to quickly refill energy is profoundly important in order to reduce EV cost and demand for critical minerals. In this talk I will present asymmetric temperature modulation (ATM) approach to enabling 10-minute fast charging of energy-dense Li-ion batteries in any temperatures (even at -60°C) while still delivering remarkable cycle life. Recent disastrous events at EV charging stations caused by an arctic blast in Chicago will be given as an example of the dire need for quick energy refill in the extreme cold. Battery fast charging must also work in hot summers along with high-temperature stability of cycling and storage. We shall present novel thermal management concepts for extreme fast charging in both extreme cold and hot conditions. Overall, our development points to a new paradigm of battery design and thermal management without having to trade-off among fast charge, safety, lifetime, and cost.
