What font do you all recommend? I'm currently swaying towards Times New Roman (12pt). Also, should I sign it?
It's been ages since I've done one of these.

times new roman
good
signing
good
I hate Times New Roman
Use Arial?
or Tahoma?
Verdanna??
i agree hannah
times can look a little bit like you are trying to be an intellectual writery type. this causes problems when applying for cleaning jobs.
y'know i said TNR
but i don't think that's what mine is in. maybe. errrrrm
Is that...?
It can't be?!
I got told at school to hand write
cover letters for job applications.
It was about 10 years ago though.
ariel
TNR
comic sans?
ariel or times new roman
font 11 or 12
or comic sans ms if you don't actually want the job.
I think it looked fine
And yes. Sign it.
I like courier new
because it looks type-written, and film noir-ish.
I use Gil Sans MT
and 11 or 12, depends on how much I've got to write.
I haven't got that font
that is the london underground font right?
</geek>
Gill Sans MT
Is my favourite font too! Yeah!!
yeah!
it's ace.
and
your address top right and their address on the left below that. Is that correct?
dunno?
yours sincerely or faithfully?
sincerely if you use a name (Mr Jones); faithfully if not (The HR Manager)
no
i mean yes
correct
if you lined it up nicely you could use a window envelope!
Arial 10 or 12pt depending on how much info
you have in the letter. Nicely spaced out. TNR is old skool, babe.... Go Arial.
Good Luck
x
comic sans ms
size 16
signed
with a kiss.
seriously though, size 10, arial.
10?!
Make sure you include glasses with your application!!
their address left
your address right
date below
make sure to sign :)
Thanks everyone!
one more thing
should job titles be capitalised?
no -
in bold
yes
they should.
as in Production Assistant
not the whole thing!
it's
development co-ordinator.
Should I put Development Co-ordinator?
yes
Yes.
Thanks team!
Good luck, dude!
that's what i thought he meant!
me = dumbass
i was about to say,
"typical bobbygeorge, never finishing a thread"
are you supposed to
finish a thread you start?
no
hang on just one minute
are we to assume that you are applying for a job?
nah
just trying to liven up the forum.
way to go
I reckon Arial 10pt
11 at a push.
I prefer Garamond to Times New Roman
.actually I mean Georgia
but that's better for webstuff than printed stuff.
Veranda
is where its at!!!
I think I mean
Verdana.
Ariel.
Quick Darcy!
I think that's a hint that she's all yours and waiting on the veranda!
heh
:)
make sure you wash the wotsits
out of your hair!
If you want
something like times but a bit nicer, I'd say Garamond. It's what mine's in. Also, Helvetica, Gill sans, Futura or possssibly century gothic (but probably not) are good sans-serif choices.
I'd avoid Helvetica
I think it's too generic, and also a bit too round and kiddy
Helvetica > Arial
Factoid.
Much of a muchness, really. To me anyway.
I'm a big fan of serifs.
I went for Arial
11 pt. It seemed like a safe bet.
heh
pussy
Good work.
You'll do well with that.
I always use Arial Narrow
cos that's what they used to use on Championship Manager.
The earlier games
Used Eras Demi IT I believe[/geek].
Verdana
all the way.
porky's
...or times new roman.
