Frequently asked questions
What is the best resume file name?
Use FirstName_LastName_Resume.pdf or FirstName_LastName_Role_Resume.pdf. Avoid spaces-only chaos and vague names like resume_new.
Should I use PDF or DOCX in the filename?
Match the real file type. PDF is usually preferred unless the employer requests Word.
Are spaces OK in resume filenames?
Underscores or hyphens are safer across email and ATS systems than multiple spaces.
