FAQ

Will the layout be perfectly preserved?

Not always. Tables, icons, multi-column layouts, and image-based resumes may need cleanup.

No. It can help expression and structure, but cannot guarantee interviews, offers, or salary outcomes.

Should I remove all contact details?

Not for formal applications. Mask them only when sharing samples publicly or with untrusted recipients.
