Your resume name isn’t just for organization — it actually plays a role in best practices and can impact your Rezi Score. Recruiters often download resumes exactly as they’re named, so using a clear, professional file name helps your application look polished and intentional.
Use a resume name like:
FirstName_LastName_Resume.pdf
Avoid resume names like:
resume_final_FINAL_v3.pdf
Why Resume Names Matter
- Professionalism: Recruiters see the file name first when downloading your resume.
- Clarity: Makes it easy for hiring managers to find and identify your resume.
- Best Practices: Rezi checks for clean, professional resume naming as part of overall resume quality.
- Rezi Score Impact: Using vague, cluttered, or unprofessional names can negatively affect your score.
Recommended Resume Naming Format
- FirstName_LastName_Resume
