Resume builder: common questions
Is it really free to download?
Yes. Many resume sites let you build for free and then ask for a subscription when you download. This one doesn't: the PDF is made in your browser, so it costs us nothing, and there's no account, watermark or paywall.
Will applicant tracking systems (ATS) read it?
It's built to be read: one column, real selectable text rather than an image, standard fonts and plain section names like Experience and Education. Use the words from the job ad in your bullet points, because that's what the systems search for.
Where is my resume saved?
In this browser on this device. Nothing is sent to us. To keep a copy or move to another computer, press Save resume file, then Open resume file there.
Can I get it as a Word file?
Not yet. Most applications accept PDF. If a form wants plain text, press Copy as plain text and paste it in.
How long should my resume be?
One page for most people, two if you have 10 or more years of relevant experience. The page count is shown above the preview, and the Compact style fits more on a page.
