Frequently asked questions

Will this pass Workday / Greenhouse / Lever?

These templates use a single-column, plain-text-friendly layout (no tables, text boxes, or graphics) so common ATS parsers can extract contact info, skills, and bullets. Always paste your final file into the free matcher with the job description to catch wording gaps.

Is it really free?

Yes. All three levels (Senior, Staff, Principal) are free to preview, copy, and download as Word (.docx) or .txt — no signup required.

What separates a principal data scientist resume from a senior one?

Whose decisions changed. Senior bullets report analyses you ran; principal bullets report the measurement standards, experimentation practice, or strategy the organization adopted because of you. Name the teams that use what you built and the decision it changed — model accuracy alone reads as senior.

Word or Google Docs?

Download the .docx for Microsoft Word, or open the same file in Google Docs (File → Open). Prefer .txt or a text-based PDF when a portal warns about complex formatting.
