Frequently asked questions
What is a good resume file name?
A simple format such as first-last-target-role-resume.pdf is usually clear and recruiter-friendly.
Should I include version words in my resume filename?
Avoid words like final, copy, draft, or v3 when sending a resume to employers.
Is PDF always the best resume format?
PDF is usually safe unless a job portal specifically asks for DOCX or another format.
