Not only have you got to capture and summarize all of your most impressive skills, accomplishments, and experiences. You\u2019ve also got to design your resume in a way that\u2019s clearly structured, visually appealing, and easy to read.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With its extensive library of ready-made templates, a tool like Canva might seem like the ideal solution. However, it\u2019s important to weigh up the pros and cons first:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"5\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><strong>Pros of using Canva to create your resume:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<th>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><strong>Cons of using Canva to create your resume:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Saves time and effort\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td><p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Canva resumes do not pass through applicant tracking systems (ATS)<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Provides a clear and logical structure to follow<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">There is a limit to customizations.<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Incredibly easy to use\r\n<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Canva resume designs may be over-stylized and not appropriate for certain industries\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<br><br>\r\n\r\n<p>Those are the pros and cons at a glance, and we explore them in more detail in the following sections.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-pros-of-using-canva-to-create-your-resume\">The pros of using Canva to create your resume<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The greatest advantage of a tool like Canva is the time and effort it can save you when creating your resume.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With thousands of templates to choose from, you already have the structure of your resume in place. Then all you need to do is fill out each section in the template. You might need to make some small adjustments to things like spacing and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/graphic-design\/guide-to-colour-theory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">color<\/a>, but the bulk of the design work has already been done for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Then there\u2019s the fact that Canva is very easy to use. Even if you\u2019re using the tool for the first time, the interface is so intuitive that there\u2019s almost no learning curve.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In short: you can create a well-structured, beautifully designed resume in next to no time.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<a class=\"downlaod_courses_anch mob_wd_an my_pop_show1\" href=\"#brochure\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14176\"\/><\/figure><\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-cons-of-using-canva-to-create-your-resume\">The cons of using Canva to create your resume<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The biggest issue is that Canva resumes do not pass through applicant tracking systems (ATS).&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Applicant tracking systems are the software employers use to scan through resumes automatically. The software checks for relevant keywords to assess how closely a resume matches their criteria. Only once a resume passes through the ATS does it reach a human hiring manager for closer inspection. If an ATS can\u2019t decipher your resume, it\u2019ll automatically reject it\u2014and that\u2019s obviously a huge problem for your job search.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Given that the majority of employers these days use applicant tracking systems, this is certainly something to consider before you use Canva to create your resume.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>An additional drawback to bear in mind is that, depending on your chosen template, Canva resume designs may be perceived as overly stylized or unnecessarily elaborate. This will vary from industry to industry, but ultimately your resume should focus on readability and professionalism rather than visual creativity.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>Does this mean you should write Canva off altogether as a resume tool?<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Not necessarily. If you need help structuring your resume and figuring out how best to organize your content and present your skills, Canva templates are a great place to start. Once you\u2019ve created your resume in Canva, you can then follow the same format and structure to create an ATS-friendly version.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With that, let\u2019s run through the practical process of creating a resume in Canva.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"How\">How to create a resume using Canva (step-by-step)<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re new to Canva, here\u2019s a quick tutorial to help you get started:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"disc wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Go to <a href=\"http:\/\/canva.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canva.com<\/a> and either log in with your existing account or click \u201cSign up\u201d to create a new account.<br><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Navigate to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/templates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canva template library<\/a> and enter \u201cresume\u201d in the search bar.<br><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Apply filters to narrow down your search.

And human hiring managers will do the same: skim through your resume to quickly assess whether or not you\u2019re a good fit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To give yourself the best possible chance of landing an interview, tailor your resume to closely match the jobs you\u2019re applying for.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Read through the job description(s) to see which skills take priority\u2014then highlight those skills, as well as relevant achievements and experiences, throughout your resume.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You don\u2019t need to recreate your resume from scratch for every role. But, with a few small tweaks, you can make sure that your resume and the job description are closely aligned.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-keep-it-concise-and-relevant\">Keep it concise and relevant\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When creating your resume, you want to strike a balance between brevity and depth.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>One page may not be enough to truly showcase the breadth of your skills and accomplishments\u2014but equally, no hiring manager wants to sift through a five-page document.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Aim to fit your resume within two pages. Feature the most relevant information on the first page (such as a bullet point summary of your key skills), and list your professional experience in reverse chronological order. That way, employers will see your most recent experience first.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-highlight-your-achievements-and-impact\">Highlight your achievements and impact<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When writing about your employment history, don\u2019t just list the various tasks and responsibilities you had at each role. Instead, focus on what you accomplished\u2014and the value this created for the team, the company, and\/or the customer\/end user.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You might include quantifiable metrics, for example, such as \u201cImproved conversion rates by 20%\u201d or \u201cAchieved a 35% increase in email sign-ups.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you don\u2019t have numbers to hand, highlight the qualitative value of your efforts\u2014such as \u201cSuccessfully implemented a new project management system which enhanced team collaboration and efficiency.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/13.webp\" alt=\"A human resource professional handling multiple resumes.\r\n\" class=\"wp-image-14179\" title=\"A human resource professional handling multiple resumes.\r\n\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prioritize-readability\">Prioritize readability\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Your resume should be easy to read and neatly formatted, allowing the reader to skim through and quickly take in relevant information.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Choose a clean, easily legible font (check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/graphic-design\/ultimate-guide-to-font-types\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guide to font types and styles<\/a> for more guidance), use headings and bullet points to organize content, and use plenty of white space between sections.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-proofread-test-and-double-check\">Proofread, test, and double-check\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before you send your resume to employers, be sure to proofread it thoroughly\u2014and share it with a trusted friend or colleague for a second review.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You want to check that your resume is typo-free and that it accurately and effectively conveys your skills and experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Make any necessary edits, check that the design and formatting are still intact, and give it one final check before you hit send.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"takeaway\">The takeaway\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We hope you\u2019ve enjoyed exploring some of Canva\u2019s most impressive resume templates. And, bear in mind that we\u2019ve only scratched the surface here; you\u2019ll find many more free templates in the Canva library. Just remember to apply the \u201cfree\u201d filter when searching (unless you\u2019re happy to pay for a special design).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As we mentioned earlier in this guide, Canva templates are incredibly useful for helping you structure your resume and come up with a reader-friendly design. However, it\u2019s important to be aware that Canva resumes do not pass through applicant tracking systems (ATS), so be sure to create an ATS-friendly version of your resume, too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For further career tips and guides, check out the following:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"disc wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/graphic-design\/graphic-designer-resume\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Graphic Designer Resume (With Tips and Examples)<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/graphic-design\/graphic-design-interview-questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">17 Graphic Design Interview Questions (and How To Prepare for Them)<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/graphic-design\/top-graphic-design-jobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">An In-Depth Guide to the Top Graphic Design Jobs in 2024 (and Their Salaries)<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-nest-steps\">7.
