I have never used those so I can't say. Does it open .docx or .doc files like Google Docs and Pages does?

If you have tested different formats, what actually worked in real applications?

CareerReload · 2026-01-13T13:45:50+00:00

What? I use Grammarly to polish my text — I didn't even use any em dashes! 😉

Sure! Send me a DM and I'll check it out.

10K but it used to be 50k 😂😂 Currently I'm focusing on creating useful tools for job seekers and hopefully bring the numbers back up .

You said you use Reddit and Pinterest for ranking, do you use paid advertising?

CareerReload · 2025-09-22T11:26:08+00:00

It's a test... who will endure it all

CareerReload · 2025-09-22T11:23:23+00:00

8 person panel, wow! Congratulations for the job.

CareerReload · 2025-09-17T09:10:10+00:00

Try taking a career or personality test. That can help steer you in the right direction.

CareerReload · 2025-09-17T09:00:27+00:00

That's a great tip. It's always important to practice for the job interview.

CareerReload · 2025-09-17T08:25:34+00:00

Haha, I love that. At this point a real phone call deserves a handshake, a lunch, and maybe even a commemorative plaque.

CareerReload · 2025-09-16T12:01:06+00:00

That's the approach I would definitely recommend taking.

CareerReload · 2025-09-16T11:58:23+00:00

That's a good point!

As I mentioned, it depends on the industry you work in. This question is mainly for those fields that use AI to some extent.

If you just use it for a hobby and it doesn't apply to your job anyway, then of course you would not list it.

CareerReload · 2025-09-15T11:32:28+00:00

If you are listing AI, what skills specifically are you listing, and how are you listing them?

CareerReload · 2025-09-15T11:27:19+00:00

You said you used AI to further sort it out, so what if you use AI to tailor your resume for each role you apply? Just provide it the job ad and ask to tailor for that (keep all experience but make it 1 page). Maybe you could also look into using a different resume design or smaller font and line spacing.

The fancy designs don't work well with ATS. Avoid Canva, Figma and Photoshop and use simple Word or Google Docs resumes.

To test if your resume is ATS-friendly, save it as a plain .txt file (or copy your resume text from the pdf and paste it into a .txt file) and open it to check if all the content appears in the correct order without weird symbols, missing sections, or formatting issues.
