Resume Builder vs Microsoft Word
Frequently asked questions
Is a Word resume ATS-friendly?
A simple, single-column Word resume can be. The risk is Word's graphic templates with text boxes and columns, which can break parsing.
Can I still get a Word file from a builder?
Yes — CraftMyDocs exports DOCX (a paid feature), so you get a builder's convenience and a Word file when you need one.
