Frequently Asked Questions

Is a PDF resume ATS-friendly?
Yes, if created from a Word document (not scanned). The text layer is preserved, allowing Applicant Tracking Systems to parse your resume correctly.
Should I name my resume file specifically?
Yes. Use 'FirstName-LastName-Resume.pdf' for clarity. Many recruiters receive hundreds of resumes.
Can I convert back to Word if I need to edit?
Yes. Use ZiaSign's PDF to Word tool to convert back to an editable format, make changes, then convert to PDF again.
