How to Export a Resume Without Losing Formatting: RebuildCV's Export Guide

Let's face it: nothing's more frustrating than spending ages crafting the perfect resume, only to have it look like a mangled mess after exporting. But fear not! With RebuildCV, you can export your resume in various formats while retaining its pristine formatting. Here's how:

Exporting as a PDF: PDF is the most common format for resumes, ensuring consistent display across different devices and systems. RebuildCV's PDF export function is designed to preserve your formatting, fonts, and styling. Simply click the 'Export' button, select 'PDF', and you're good to go. If you encounter any formatting issues, double-check your font choices; some less common fonts might not render perfectly across all PDF viewers.

Exporting as a DOCX: While PDFs are generally preferred, some companies or job portals might request DOCX files. RebuildCV supports DOCX export, maintaining your formatting integrity. However, be aware that very complex formatting, such as custom graphics or unusual spacing, might be slightly altered. It's always best to preview your DOCX export to ensure everything looks as intended.

Troubleshooting:

• Font Issues: If your fonts appear different after export, try using standard fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman. These fonts are widely compatible across different systems and applications.
• Image Problems: If images appear blurry or misplaced, ensure they're optimized for web use before uploading them to RebuildCV. Large image files can sometimes cause issues during export.
• Spacing and Alignment: Minor discrepancies in spacing or alignment can sometimes occur. A quick proofread after export can help you catch and fix these minor issues. Remember, RebuildCV's AI helps optimize your resume for readability, but a final check is always recommended.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure your resume maintains its professional appearance regardless of the chosen export format. Remember, a well-formatted resume is crucial for making a strong first impression. Using RebuildCV's AI-powered formatting tools and following this guide ensures your resume makes the best possible impression.
