How to build your resume

  1. Start from scratch or upload your current resume (.pdf or .docx).
  2. Add your contact details, work experience, education and skills.
  3. Write a two- or three-line summary; example phrases help you start.
  4. Choose a template, color and font, then preview the finished page.
  5. Download your resume as PDF or Word, plus a plain ATS-friendly version.

Built for the US resume format

  • US Letter paper (8.5 × 11 in) by default; switch to A4 at any time.
  • No photo, date of birth or marital status: US employers do not expect them, so the photo option starts off.
  • One page for most applicants, two if you have more than about ten years of relevant experience.
  • Reverse-chronological order: your most recent job first.

Ready for applicant tracking systems

Most large employers screen applications with an applicant tracking system (ATS). Nine of our templates are single-column layouts with standard headings, and every download includes a plain ATS-friendly copy, even if you choose a designed template. See the ATS checklist.

Write stronger bullet points

  • Start each bullet with an action verb: led, built, reduced, launched.
  • Add a number where you can: team size, budget, time saved, customers served.
  • Mirror the job ad's key skills, but only the ones you really have.
