Employers downloaded my resume, but they’re asking for a new copy. It’s distorted and there are splotches all over the images.
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) can’t always scan or download a resume with multiple columns or graphics. Don't take a picture of your resume and upload it. Here are some other best practices we recommend when uploading a resume.
Saving a resume
Do you save copies of old resumes I uploaded?
No, we don’t save your old or previous versions. Be sure to save your file before to converting it to an Indeed Resume since we won't save the original file after it's changed.
Downloading and printing a resume
How do I print my resume using an Apple or Android device?
