Convert the resume you have, or start from scratch?
Already have a PDF? The converter returns it in the template you pick, with your content word for word.
No resume yet? The builder walks you through it section by section and exports in the same template.
Looking for it in Word?
What you upload to a job portal is the PDF, and that is what these templates produce: your content already laid out, without copying it field by field into a Word file. If a posting asks for Word specifically, here is what to do.
