Microsoft Word resume: update the skills on your resume
Add the tools you have learned and remove the ones you no longer use. 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
- • A longer skills line wraps in its own style.
- • Skills in a table or grid keep their columns.
Questions people ask
+Should I copy every keyword from the posting?
Only the ones you really have. Mirroring the posting's wording helps screening, but interviews test it.
+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.
