should i send my resume as pdf or word

إجابة مختصرة

PDF is the safest default: it renders identically everywhere, preserves your fonts and layout, and can't be accidentally edited. Send Word (.docx) only when it's explicitly requested — some recruitment agencies add their own formatting, and a few older ATS portals parse Word more reliably. The rule is simple: follow the posting's instruction; if there isn't one, send PDF.

CV Desk helps you apply this on your iPhone: it keeps the layout ATS-readable, exports a clean PDF with no watermark, and lets you tailor each version to the job. Always adapt to the specific role and country.
