Why Smart Developers Write Resumes in Markdown

If you are a developer, your resume is your codebase. Why are you maintaining it in a binary format like Microsoft Word?

The Problem with Word & Google Docs

1. Version Control: You can't git diff a .docx file.
2. Formatting Hell: Move an image one pixel, and your entire layout breaks.
3. Inconsistency: It's hard to keep font sizes and margins perfect.

The Solution: Markdown to PDF

By writing your resume in Markdown, you treat your career history as data.

Step 1: Structure Your Data

# Jane Doe
## Senior Full Stack Engineer

- **Email**: jane@example.com
- **GitHub**: github.com/janedoe

### Experience

**Tech Corp** | Senior Engineer | *2020 - Present*
- Led migration from monolith to microservices.
- Improved CI/CD pipeline speed by 40%.

Step 2: Style with CSS (or AI)

This is where MarkdownToPDF.ca shines. You don't need to manually bold or indent every line.

Use our Intelligent Styling feature and tell it:

"Make this look like a modern, clean tech resume with a sidebar for skills and blue accents."

Our AI will generate the layout for you.

Step 3: Export to PDF

Click download, and you have a crisp, ATS-friendly PDF. Need to update it next month? Just edit the text file and re-render. No layout fighting required.
