I've been told ATS doesn't work properly on PDFs and word is better for this reason. I used to uploads PDFs prior to this. Now I don't know what to believe, my entire worldview has been upended!
If I don't get the resume on a clay tablet I'll just assume they don't know shit.
If you send your resume in word format and not pdf or even image, I did not open it at all.
I've had recruiters reject anything that isn't in word format.
And I reject their job offers. When I think at how much time I have to write justification of my work in some kind of numerical format, I won't want to be dealing with he standard of someone who doesn't know the different of a working document and finish content to be send to the world.
I'm privileged enough to be able to screen out big red flags out and not needed to find rapidly the next paycheck at the cost of my mental and physical health and I must use that privilege.
That's because they can easily edit it or change it before sending it out
Exactly.
Even if everything is in order, I def assume a lower digital literacy.
Idk why I would do it in Google Docs or Word. Something like Canva is much better for a CV.
I made it in asciidoctor-pdf. But the market insisted on the usual two-column layout and, while possible, was a chore in asciidoctor.
Sometimes the less-optimal tool you know beats the more-optimal tool you don't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I didn't know Canva either before I tried it out tbh.
Fair enough!
Counterpoint: SaaS 🤢
Canva is just one of many. Make up a quick CV, download as pdf, done. I wouldn't have used it if I had to pay for it or anything.
Ages ago (>5 years) I used a well-regarded online tool for this. I came back a few years later and they had, in the meantime, changed what was freely accessible, so I could no longer update my previously-created resume easily.
I'm sure most of the time Canva would be fine (especially for one-off usage like you've described). I'd still really prefer to not use SaaS for stuff like this where I want to come back later to update it in the future - I don't want my access cut off because line didn't go up enough, or the developer decided to call it quits or whatever X_X

You're welcome, chat.
The real FOSS option is to make your resume in LaTeX.
Facts. Overleaf has great templates, don't be afraid to try it folks.
Where did this extremely dumb habit come from where people refer to anyone online as “chat”?
This wasn’t a thing a couple of years ago. Is this just internet brain rot taking over?
More bullshit lingo to learn and use, to prove you're with it. It never ends, but sometimes it circles back around and rhymes.
I used to be with it...
It's how twitch streamers collectively address their viewers. It's basically just announcing you're going to have a soapbox moment
Its from watching streamers I imagine.
Chat is a bunch of idiots that's all I know
i mean, "habit" is a weird word for it. i'd call it more of a trend. "brain rot" seems like an adequate description.
it comes from streamer culture where streamers would refer to their audience as "chat" because the chat box is the main way for viewers to interact with whoever they are watching.
I guess memes are brain rot. This feels like a get off my lawn comment.
Just because it’s a relatively new meme/saying that derives from streamer culture, doesn’t make it brain rot.
Or, for the Europeans in the audience: https://europass.europa.eu/en/create-europass-cv
I hate the Europass template, it looks so ugly. But nowadays no one even bothers to read the CV, they probably just feed it to some AI and ask to summarize it, so all my efforts to make it look pretty are wasted.
I thought some of the options looks "fine" aesthetically, but I think I've already been corrupted to prioritize machine-readability over ✨style✨, and that's already from pre-chatGPT days haha - you should see how ugly some of the templates I was given at uni were compared to this :P
The best-known CV format in Europe
The Europass CV is one of the best-known CV formats in Europe. (emphasis added)
Straight to lying clickbait, unbelievable. /s
The best one is also one of the best, isn't it.
Yes but the reverse isn't true: one of the best is not necessarily the best. They start off with the better claim then water it down! Clearly the entire EU is just in it for the views and ad revenue!!
Where I work you keep a txt copy of your CV to apply on different positions because the online form has you copy-paste it in a text box anyway so all the formatting is gone.
This is smart
