Live preview

Your resume preview appears here

Fill in the form — the preview updates as you type.

Tip: Print → “Save as PDF” gives a clean one-page PDF without the editor. One page is the student standard.

How it works

  1. Fill in your personal details, summary and contact info.
  2. Add sections: education, experience, projects, skills, certifications, achievements, languages.
  3. Reorder sections with the arrows — recruiters expect Education first for students.
  4. The live preview updates as you type, formatted as a clean one-page document.
  5. Print or save as PDF from the Print button — the preview is the printed layout.
  6. Your draft autosaves to your browser's local storage.

Worked example

Worked example — a strong student structure

  1. Header: name, email, phone, location, LinkedIn/GitHub
  2. Summary: 2 lines — degree, year, focus, one achievement
  3. Education: degree, university, GPA if strong, relevant coursework
  4. Experience: 1–2 internships or campus roles with bullet results
  5. Projects: 2–3 with links; Skills: 6–10 relevant keywords

One page, scannable in 30 seconds, keyword-rich for ATS filters.

Common mistakes

  • Exceeding one page — for students, one page is the standard.
  • Writing duties instead of results — “organized 3 campus events with 200+ attendees” beats “responsible for events”.
  • Missing keywords from the job ad — ATS filters literally scan for them; mirror the posting's language.
  • Sending a PDF with a photo or fancy fonts in regions where they're not expected — keep it clean and international-safe.

Frequently asked questions

Is my resume stored on a server?

No. Your draft is saved only in your browser's local storage on your device. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

How do I save it as a PDF?

Click Print and choose “Save as PDF” as the destination. The print layout is the resume layout — no headers, footers or controls.

What makes a resume ATS-friendly?

Standard section headings (Education, Experience, Skills), no tables or images for text, and keywords from the job description. The builder's structure follows these rules.

Should I include my GPA?

Include it if it's strong (typically 3.0+/4.0 or equivalent) and you have under ~2 years of experience. Otherwise leave it out.
