File Format

If you are posting your CV online, the job site will often specify which file type is acceptable. This can range from a Microsoft Word document to a PDF file.

• Employers prefer Microsoft Word files
• Easily opened by more programs and devices
• Can be easily read by ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems)

 

Ultimately use the file type specified in your job description to avoid possible issues with ATS or other unforeseen issues, which may increase your chances of rejection. This is because in some instances you may be asked to submit your CV as a PDF or some other format.
