Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions answered.

What is the definition of a resume?

A resume is a short professional summary of your experience, skills, and achievements. Most resumes focus on relevant information for a specific role.

What is the difference between a CV and a resume?

The terms overlap in many countries. In general, a resume is shorter and role-focused, while a CV can be longer and more detailed.

How do I choose the right resume template?

Pick a template based on readability first, then style. For formal roles, use cleaner layouts; for creative roles, use visual styles carefully.

How far back should a resume go?

Most resumes focus on the last 10 to 15 years of relevant work. Older experience can be summarized when it still adds context.

What does an ATS-friendly resume mean?

An ATS-friendly resume uses simple structure, clear headings, and relevant wording so systems can parse your details accurately.

What resume file format can I download in?

You can export in PDF and DOCX. PDF is best for visual consistency; DOCX is useful when a role requires editable files.

Is it worth paying for a resume builder?

It depends on your goals. Paid plans usually add advanced templates, deeper customization, and faster writing support.

Should I make a different resume for every job application?

Yes. Tailored resumes are usually more relevant to each role. A good workflow is to duplicate a base version and adjust key sections.
