 That's the life all us amateurs have, Alex. We do work to earn money to do things we actually like. I still don't understand how can an intelligent man pay to sweat but, hey!, it's passion and that can't be judged ;)

Needless to say :)

Ehehehehehehehe! I'be been slow as usual getting the orange/oranje thing.
Anyway, my mother is possibly moving to New Zealand. Can't really say for now as the big international firm she works for has bought their contractors in India, Thailandia, Australia and NZ just a few months ago. We have been already discussing the issue of moving out of Europe - she lives in Paris, - for a while. My friend in Canada has been a loud sponsor a moving there but - even if Alex is absolutely right: we'd have to move toward sweet water sources and "cold" climates - the weather up there is too rainy and freezy. I'd end up on a psychologist's sofa just to get rid of a weather-caused depression. England, which I love, and Belgium made me that effect and I decided not to move there. I can't bear clouds and rain and snow everyday.
New Zealand could be a good bargain. Large as Italy, very few inhabitants and quite the same climate. Not to mention the large sheep community!

Scratching the sofa, I've been staring at this for quite a while. I am fully with Tashini Jones.

First of all, and far more important than anything else, if you are to submit a three hundred [I thought I spell it out] pages résumé - that is a book - the typeface you use must be legible. Very legible. And with this amount of text that almost outrules any design-like type. In my opinion - with this amount of text - it also outrules sans-serifs.
I am with the Swallow when he suggests types with a rather high x-height, giving you the possibility to use a [slightly] condensed face so you don't have to go under 11 points - without adding even more pages yet still maintaining legibility.
"formal but with that touch of design"? There are many. I'll do one suggestion, the Salernomi J by Julius Thyssen. Freeware, yet well designed for a change. Follow the download link and get the TTF pack [and whatever else you like on that page].
I also think that more important than the type you choose, is the page lay-out. Choose your margins carefully, justify the text and try to avoid line lengths of more than 2/3 of the page width - as if you are inviting the reader to use the margin for notes.
To quote Tashini Jones again; Good luck!!
