That is a good question.. I was actually looking up resume templates (mainly because wrestling with columns in gDocs is a headache) and some I found opened up as Slides templates. It was confusing but maybe it works lol 

I ended up making a very simple docs one 🤷🏻‍♀️

true or false - the resumes I see on people’s portfolio websites, that are designed on figma aren’t the ones you’re submitting to job apps?

In the past I've used Google Slides to design more custom 1-pagers, I wonder if a PDF exported from Slides (designed to look like a resume) would be ATS-readable 🤔

I’ve always attached 2 PDFs: 

1 nice Figma one 
1 ugly word/google doc as backup 

Figma PDFs in my experience have not been ATS-friendly :-/

Not sure how Figma-exported PDFs stand up to ATS' and other automations like this. I would test any resume pdf you intend to apply to a job with, using a service like Jobscan or similar, just to ensure its machine-readable. 

I still use Indesign for my resume 😎

Like most people here, I have one version that I designed in Figma and one in Word.

The pretty one is for cases in which I'm certain a human is going to look at it.

The Word version is for applying to online postings where it has to go through an ATS.

Wait, what, PDF from Figma is not ATS-friendly?! I'll take your approach from now on

I finally made a Google Docs resume and it made me miss Figma but unfortunately (as everyone else mentioned) that's just not gonna work lol 

Previous versions were made in In Design and even Keynote (trying to move off of Adobe) 

I miss my textboxes 😭
