Why should I convert to a PDF?
Uploading your resume as a PDF is a best practice to ensure your resume appears as you intend it to.
Not everyone has the same software program that you used to create your resume: A hiring manager may not be able to open your file if they don't have Microsoft Word, Pages for Mac, etc. If they are able to open your file, it may render with broken formatting.
