Should I keep a designed resume for people and a plain one for portals?

It can make sense, especially for creative roles, but most people need only one clean, well-designed, text-based resume. A simple single-column design can still look polished, and it works for both software and readers.

Two versions are worth it when:

• You work in design, marketing or another visual field, and people expect to see your style.
• You often hand your resume to people directly, such as at portfolio reviews.

If you keep two:

• Make sure the facts are identical: titles, dates, employers and figures.
• Use the plain version for every online application and email to recruiters.
• Use the designed version in person, or link to it from your portfolio.

Name them clearly so you never upload the wrong one.
