Canva resume: change employment dates on your resume
Update an end date, mark a job as current or fix a start month. This works on the PDF Canva exported. Each text box reflows inside its own box, and shapes behind the text are left alone.

How Canva writes resume PDFs
- • Designs are exported with subset fonts, many of them Google Fonts.
- • Each text box is placed on its own, often line by line.
- • Shapes, icons and photos are layered around the text.
What happens to the rest of your resume
- • Right aligned dates grow to the left, so the column stays straight.
- • The date keeps its font and colour.
Questions people ask
+Can I write Present instead of an end date?
Yes. Type Present; letters not yet in the file come from the complete font, and for fonts that are not open you are asked first.
+Is it better to edit in Canva?
If you still have the Canva version and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already sent, editing the PDF is faster.
