Description

In the resume chapter of the website, specifically under the section "Only use standard fonts of readable sizes", the guide currently recommends a "minimum font size of 10px" while advising users to create their documents in Microsoft Word or Google Docs.

Issue

Standard word processors (Microsoft Word, Google Docs) measure font size in points (pt), not pixels (px). Using pixels here is misleading because 10 px converts to approximately 7.5 pt, which is significantly smaller than the standard readable minimum for resumes. Standard advice, such as that from the MIT CAPD Resume Checklist, suggests a minimum of 10 pt.

Suggested Fix

Update the text to recommend a "minimum of 10 pt" instead of 10 px.
