how can I upload my resume on line application

I was filling a job application on line and I got to the point where the process asked me to upload my resume to the application and I click on the upload ikon and I look in my macbook and I found the document. But I got a messege that said that the document wasn't compatible. So I look in the internet on how to go about that and saw several ways to do so but none of them work for me can any one help?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), pages

If your resume is in .pages format, you will have to use the export menu to convert it to either .pdf or Word for uploading anyplace.

And, if submitting in Word format, Pages v5.5.1 explodes the document size to 500Kb or greater. Many sites that allow you to upload a résumé place a size limit on that upload (100Kb is typical). You will have to open and resave the Pages v5.5.1 Word export in MS Word, or LibreOffice to get the size back down to double-digit file size. Then you can upload it successfully.
