This checks our sample text, read by one open-source parser from the PDF that Google Docs' File > Download > PDF produces. It isn't a score, and it doesn't tell you how Workday, Greenhouse or any other hiring system will read your own resume. Anyone can rerun it: the test repository has the PDF (SHA-256 499c885ccc65…), the expected values and the raw results. How we test
Specs and editing tips
Everything you need to edit it without breaking the layout.
Specs
- Font
- Arial, installed on Windows and macOS, so the .docx keeps its look
- Body text
- 10.5 pt
- Margins
- 0.5 in (Letter), 12.7 mm (A4)
- Length
- 1 page with the sample content
- Sections
- Summary, Experience, Education, Skills
- Good for
- 5–12 years
- Layout
- One column, no tables, text boxes, images or icons. Dates aligned with a right tab stop.
Editing tips
- Dates stay on the right by themselves. Each heading line has a right-aligned tab stop. Press Tab before the date instead of adding spaces.
- Add a job by copying one. Select a whole entry, heading lines and bullets, copy it and paste it below. The spacing comes with it.
- Ran onto a second page? Set margins to 0.5 in, body text to 10.5 pt and line spacing to single, in that order. More ways to fit one page
- Rename your copy. Recruiters see the file name, so use something like Firstname-Lastname-Resume.
Exporting your finished resume
Two downloads from Google Docs cover almost every application.
File > Download > PDF Document. This is the exact path we test on every release. It gives selectable text with the fonts embedded.
Word
File > Download > Microsoft Word (.docx). Our own .docx files are exported this way, and we check that text and bullets survive. Don't convert a PDF to Word.

Questions
- Is it really free?
- Yes. No account, no email and no watermark. Copy it, edit it and send it to as many employers as you like. The one thing you can't do is repost the template file itself somewhere else.
- Will it get through an ATS?
- Nobody can promise that, and we don't. What we can show is that an open-source parser reads our sample of this template correctly, field by field, from the PDF Google Docs produces. Workday, Greenhouse and others use their own parsers, and your own content matters as much as the layout. How we test
- Can I use it in Microsoft Word?
- Yes. Download the .docx, or copy to Google Docs and later use File > Download > Microsoft Word. The font is installed on Windows and macOS, so nothing gets swapped.
- Why no photo, icons or two columns?
- Parsers read a page top to bottom. Columns, text boxes and icons are the usual reason a resume comes out scrambled. US employers also generally don't want photos.
- Can my name have accents or non-Latin characters?
- Yes, with one caveat. In our tests the parser read José Álvarez, Mary-Jane Smith, Sean O'Brien and Иван Петров correctly, and the layout didn't move. A Chinese name like 王小明 also kept the page intact, but Google Docs swaps in a Japanese font for those characters and the parser left the name field empty. For US applications, put the romanized name first, like Xiaoming Wang (王小明). Phone numbers outside the US format, like +44 7700 900123, aren't picked up as phone numbers either.
