Questions
Does the design change what my resume says?
No. It changes how the same words look: colour, font, spacing, margins and heading style.
Will a design stop job-application software from reading my resume?
The screen checks the design and tells you when it reads cleanly. Stick to a standard layout and you keep text that software can read.
Is the design the same in the Word file and the PDF?
Yes. The screen preview, the Word file, the PDF and your cover letter all use the same design.
Can I use one design for every resume?
Yes. Choose All my resumes before you save.
