Resumes created with graphic design tools like Canva can be visually appealing and creative, but they may not always be helpful in all job application scenarios, especially when it comes to Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and certain industries. ATS relies on keyword matching to determine the suitability of a resume for a specific job. Graphic resumes may not emphasize keywords as prominently as text-based resumes, potentially causing your resume to be overlooked by ATS. Graphic resumes are often saved as image-based PDFs or other non-standard file formats. These formats can cause issues with compatibility and readability on different devices and software platforms.
