About Resume & CV Builder
Choose from 20 layouts, including a simple single-column ATS option. Change the layout without re-entering your details.
The ATS option exports a PDF with selectable text. Other layouts export a visual PDF; the editable Word file uses a simpler layout. No layout can guarantee how an employer’s software will parse your application.
Profession-based writing prompts are starting points. Replace them with truthful details and results you can support.
The form saves your work in this browser on this device. Use the clear control when working on a shared computer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the ATS layout pass every applicant tracking system?
No. It uses a simple single-column layout and selectable text, which can help with parsing, but software and employer requirements differ. Check the downloaded file and follow the job posting.
Should I include a photograph?
Follow the instructions in the job posting and the conventions in your target market. The photo field is optional.
Can I download Word as well as PDF?
Yes. The Word (.docx) download is editable. The visual PDF layouts and the text-based ATS PDF have different formatting, so preview each output before submitting.
Where is my draft saved?
Your form draft is saved in this browser on this device. Clear it before leaving a shared computer.
