Frequently Asked Questions

Should I submit my resume as PDF or Word?

PDF is generally preferred because it preserves formatting perfectly on any device. However, some ATS systems and job postings specifically request Word format. If the posting does not specify, use PDF. Our builder exports to both formats.

How do I create a PDF resume?

Use our free resume builder to create your resume, then export it as PDF with one click. Alternatively, create a resume in Word and convert it using our free Word to PDF converter tool. Both methods produce ATS-compatible PDFs.

Are PDF resumes ATS-friendly?

Yes, as long as the PDF contains selectable text (not scanned images). Our builder creates text-based PDFs that ATS systems can parse properly. Avoid converting image-based designs to PDF as they cannot be read by automated systems.
