I used the Fit Resume to Page option and it either is two lines too long or it formats it so half a page so there is significant white space. It’s not too much content, the first iteration was just a two lines too long. The issue is not that when I click the Fit Resume to Page button, it’s not overly shrinking everything and making it half of a single page, it looks entirely unprofessional. Seems like a bug.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for reaching out. We have a Fit Resume to Page option that automatically adjusts your resume to fit optimally on one page. However, if there’s too much content, the system won’t force the fit — shrinking the font or spacing too much would make the resume hard to read or break the formatting.
If you're seeing that it's running long, I’d recommend trimming or modifying some of the descriptions to keep only the most relevant details. That usually helps keep things concise without sacrificing impact.
