TimesJobs accepts PDF and DOCX resumes, but Word files can lose formatting when opened by recruiters on different systems. Convert your .docx to PDF here before uploading to your TimesJobs profile.
TimesJobs is part of the Times Internet network and serves a large recruiter base across India. A PDF resume ensures your layout is preserved exactly — column structures, custom fonts, and spacing that look perfect in Word can break entirely when a recruiter opens the DOCX on a different system.
TimesJobs accepts PDF and DOCX resume formats. PDF is recommended to ensure your formatting is preserved when recruiters open it.
Recruiters on TimesJobs open resumes on different devices and software versions. A DOCX file can reflow or display incorrectly. PDF locks your formatting so it looks identical everywhere.
No — a text-based PDF converted from Word is parsed accurately by ATS systems. Avoid scanned PDFs, which store pages as images and cannot be parsed for keyword searches.
