Google Docs 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 Google Docs exported. Google Docs fonts are open, so any letter you type matches exactly, and invisible line end characters never leave stray spaces.

How Google Docs writes resume PDFs
- • Download as PDF embeds Google Fonts as subsets.
- • Lines often end with an invisible zero width space.
- • Text is positioned word by word.
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 Google Docs?
If you still have the Google Docs version and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already sent, editing the PDF is faster.
