Microsoft Word 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 Microsoft Word exported. Word resumes edit cleanly: bold titles, italic dates and bullets are recognised. Calibri and Cambria have open clones with identical widths; Aptos gets the closest open font only with your permission.

How Microsoft Word writes resume PDFs

  • • Save as PDF embeds only the letters used, as subset TrueType fonts.
  • • Each run of formatting is written as its own piece of text.
  • • Tables and rules are drawn as lines around positioned 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 Microsoft Word?

If you still have the Microsoft Word version and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already sent, editing the PDF is faster.
