Are Resumes Made on Canva ATS Friendly?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 9:21 pm

As the job market continues to be highly competitive, job seekers are looking for any advantage they can get. Many turn to Canva, a popular online design platform, to create resumes that stand out from the rest.

But is this a good idea Are resumes made on Canva ATS friendly

The answer is maybe. Some Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) can parse resumes created in HTML, which is the code behind Canva designs.

However, many ATS systems cannot parse resumes with complex coding, and this can cause your resume to be rejected outright. So if you’re going to use Canva to create your resume, make sure to keep the design simple.

PRO TIP: There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the ATS being used. However, it is generally advisable to avoid using Canva to create resumes as some ATS may not be compatible with the file format.

Another potential issue with using Canva to create your resume is that it can be tricky to control the format and layout of your resume. This means that your resume may not look the way you want it to when viewed on different devices or browsers. So if you’re using Canva to create your resume, make sure to preview it on different devices and in different browsers before you submit it.

In conclusion, resumes made on Canva can be ATS friendly, but it’s important to keep the design simple and to preview your resume on different devices and in different browsers before you submit it.
