What is the Resume Builder?
A good resume is easy to scan: your name and contact details at the top, a short profile, then your experience with clear, results-focused bullet points, education and skills. Recruiters spend seconds on a first look, and many companies first pass resumes through an applicant tracking system (ATS), so plain structure and real text matter as much as looks.
This builder keeps the design out of your way. Fill in each section and the live preview lays it out for you, with consistent spacing and dates aligned on the right. The Modern and Classic templates are single-column and ATS-friendly; Sidebar puts contact details and skills in a coloured column for a more designed look. The PDF has real, selectable text that ATS software can read.
A checklist beside the form points out common gaps, such as missing contact details or bullet points without results. Your resume is saved only in this browser, so you can keep versions for different jobs under My documents.

Frequently asked questions
What is an ATS-friendly resume?
An applicant tracking system reads your resume as text and pulls out your experience, skills and education. ATS-friendly resumes use a simple single-column layout, standard section names (Experience, Education, Skills), real text rather than images, and no tables or text boxes for important content. The Modern and Classic templates follow these rules.
How long should my resume be?
One page if you have under about eight years of experience, two pages at most for most roles. Keep only what is relevant to the job you are applying for.
Should I add a photo?
In India, the US, the UK and Canada, most employers do not expect a photo, and some prefer none to avoid bias. In parts of Europe, the Middle East and Asia, a professional photo is common. The photo is off by default; turn it on if it is expected where you are applying.
How do I write good bullet points?
Start with a strong verb, say what you did and show the result, ideally with a number: “Reduced page load time by 40% by moving images to a CDN” is stronger than “Worked on website performance”.
Do I need a declaration?
Many Indian resumes end with a short declaration that the information is true, especially for government and campus applications. It is optional for most private-sector and international jobs; turn it on under More sections.
