Idk why I would do it in Google Docs or Word. Something like Canva is much better for a CV.
Sometimes the less-optimal tool you know beats the more-optimal tool you don't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I didn't know Canva either before I tried it out tbh.
Fair enough!
Counterpoint: SaaS 🤢
Canva is just one of many. Make up a quick CV, download as pdf, done. I wouldn't have used it if I had to pay for it or anything.
Ages ago (>5 years) I used a well-regarded online tool for this. I came back a few years later and they had, in the meantime, changed what was freely accessible, so I could no longer update my previously-created resume easily.
I'm sure most of the time Canva would be fine (especially for one-off usage like you've described). I'd still really prefer to not use SaaS for stuff like this where I want to come back later to update it in the future - I don't want my access cut off because line didn't go up enough, or the developer decided to call it quits or whatever X_X
I made it in asciidoctor-pdf. But the market insisted on the usual two-column layout and, while possible, was a chore in asciidoctor.
