Solution: print as pdf

If you send your resume in word format and not pdf or even image, I did not open it at all.

“Can you explain this kerning?”

“For reasons I cannot understand, you set your system font to Copperplate Gothic.”

This is why the PDF format exists

well you’re not hired because it took you six hours to format a single document. bad time management. also your document editor of choice is google docs when libreoffice and onlyoffice exist, yuck

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.

If I don't get the resume on a clay tablet I'll just assume they don't know shit.

You obviously should use Latex and send them the PDF file.

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!

This is why my resume is a pdf uwu

Print it out and scan it and print it back to a 300MB PDF.
