Frequently Asked Questions

Will my fonts and layout stay the same?

Yes. PDF embeds the fonts and fixes the layout, so your resume looks identical on any computer or phone.

Is PDF or Word better for job applications?

PDF is almost always safer — it preserves your design. Only send Word if the employer specifically requests an editable file.
