Resume Builder

Yes. The resume builder is completely free with no account, no signup, and no paywall. Everything runs in your browser, and the download is just your browser's print-to-PDF feature, so there is nothing to pay for or sign up for.

Lead with education and projects instead of work history. Add class projects, volunteer work, part-time jobs, and extracurriculars as experience entries, and use the skills section to list tools and strengths from your coursework. The Load sample button above shows a student example you can adapt.

Contact info, a short professional summary, education with your degree and expected graduation date, any experience including internships and part-time work, projects from classes or personal builds, and a skills section. Keep every section relevant to the job you want.

One page. Hiring managers skim resumes in seconds, and as a student or recent graduate you can fit everything important on a single page. If the preview spills onto a second page, trim older or less relevant bullets first.

Click Download / Print, then choose Save as PDF in your browser's print dialog. The page uses print-optimized styling so the form, header, and footer are hidden and only your resume prints.

Yes. The preview uses a single-column layout, standard section headings, and real text instead of images or text boxes, which is what applicant tracking systems parse best. Keep the same clean structure when you tailor it.

No. Photos are not expected on resumes in the US and can cause problems with applicant tracking systems. Keep the focus on your skills and experience instead.

A resume is a short one-page summary tailored to a specific job, which is what US employers expect. A CV is a longer document listing your full academic history, used mostly for research and academic roles. For internships and entry-level jobs, build a resume.

In your own browser using localStorage, so it is there when you come back on the same device. Nothing you type is sent to a server. Use the print-to-PDF download to keep a permanent copy.

Read the job posting and mirror its language: reorder bullets so the most relevant ones come first, swap in matching keywords in your skills section, and rewrite your summary for the role. Save a PDF for each application so you always send the right version.
