Arial is really a display face that was designed for web design. I wouldn't use it for a printed resume. And Courier is a monospace typeface -- which means that the same amount of space exists between each letter when printed. I wouldn't use Courier, either. It looks odd, especially when there is a lot of copy. It's designed to mimic an old typewriter.

I just meant as default fonts in Word or other word processing programs. I wouldn't use those for a resume either, though of the two Arial isn't bad for simple documents and emails.
