It's strange how some people just don't like CM. I use times for papers for two reasons: (1) I can fit in more text than CM, which is important for page limits; and (2) some people I work with just can't stand CM.
I would stick with a serif font like times or the serif form of CM. I wouldn't put my resume in a sans serif font like Helvetica, but that's just me. (Headings and titles are good for sans serif; but long passages of text are more readable in serifed fonts, because it provides a sort of invisible baseline for your eye to follow.)
Once in my resume I advertized that I knew latex by using the \LaTeX\ command, which formats the special logo. A professor (at NEU) told me to remove it and said "we all know tex, we all know you know it".
