Your Workday resume is a database row, not a poster
Workday does not sit there auto-rejecting fonts. It parses the file into fields a recruiter later searches. If the parse is messy, you are invisible even when you retype the form.
What actually happens on upload
Workday tries to extract titles, dates, employers, skills into structured fields.
Autofill is often wrong. Fix the fields by hand. Recruiters search those fields.
True auto-rejects are knockout questions (work auth, location, license) — not a keyword score.
A two-column or Canva PDF is how titles get merged into the skills box.
What to upload
Single-column .docx or a text-based PDF. Not a screenshot of a pretty layout.
Standard headings: Experience, Education, Skills.
Job title language that matches the posting you are applying to.
One version per posting. The same master file into 40 Workday portals is how you stay unsearchable.
Do the match on the posting you have open
