Resume template
A resume is a one or two page summary that gets you an interview, not the job itself. Recruiters skim it in seconds, so structure matters more than decoration. Use a clean layout with the sections a recruiter expects, in the order they scan, and export it as a PDF that opens the same on every device.

A recruiter spends seconds on a first pass. In that time they are looking for a clear header, a summary that fits the role, and recent experience with real results. A resume that buries those under heavy design works against you, and one that lacks them gets skipped no matter how it looks.
The sections below are the ones recruiters scan for, in the order they scan. Fill them with specifics and results rather than generic duties, and keep the layout clean so both a human and an automated scanner can read it.
How to build and send it
Lay out the sections in the editor, fill them with your details, and export a PDF. If a job portal enforces a size limit, run the file through the compressor to fit it without wrecking the layout. Everything happens in your browser, so your personal history never leaves your device on the way to a finished file.
What to put on your resume
- Name and contact headerYour name, a professional email, a phone number, and a link to a portfolio or profile if relevant.
- Short professional summaryTwo or three lines stating who you are and the value you bring, tuned to the role you want.
- Work experienceRoles in reverse date order with company, title, dates, and a few result-focused bullet points each.
- SkillsA tight list of the abilities that match the job, so a scanner and a human both find them fast.
- Education and certificationsDegrees and relevant certificates with dates. Keep it brief once you have work experience.
- Optional extrasProjects, languages, or volunteering, added only when they strengthen the case for this specific role.

Frequently asked questions
What format should I send my resume in?
PDF. It keeps your layout identical on every device and every screen, unlike a document file that can reflow. Export the finished resume as a PDF before sending it to an employer or a job portal.
How long should a resume be?
One page early in a career and up to two pages with more experience. Recruiters skim, so cut anything that does not support the role you are applying for.
Will my resume details be uploaded anywhere?
No. You build and export the resume in your browser, so your name, history, and contact details stay on your device and are never sent to a server.
