Prefer a clear structure
Use conventional headings and avoid hiding important details in decorative elements. Keep contact information visible in the main document.
Use relevant wording accurately
Reflect terminology in the job description when it describes your actual experience. Repeating keywords without evidence does not improve the quality of your application.
Check the requested file type
Employers may request PDF, Word or plain text. Follow their instructions. JobCraft supports plain text and browser-generated PDF; it does not currently export Word documents.
Review the text
Copy text from your exported PDF into a text editor and inspect the order. No template or checker guarantees compatibility with every applicant tracking system.
