Start with eight recommended layouts or search the full gallery of 51 templates.
The builder shows eight versatile starting points first. Open the searchable gallery whenever you want to explore all 51 designs.
Choose the layout for the way you plan to share the resume. Simpler, single-column designs are generally easier for automated systems to parse; more decorative designs can be useful when the document will be reviewed directly by a person.
Choose gray, blue, teal, purple, or red to adjust the template's accent color. The theme setting does not change your resume content.

Template selection tip: Start with the eight recommended options in the builder. For applications submitted through an automated portal, consider a design marked “Parsing-friendly” and confirm the downloaded file is readable before sending it.
Arrange sections, adjust spacing, and personalize your resume structure.
Customize layouts, rearrange sections, adjust spacing, and modify content - all included at no cost.
Tailor your resume layout to highlight your strongest qualifications. Our intuitive editor makes it easy to reorder sections and optimize for your career stage.
Layout Tip: Use white space strategically. A cluttered resume is harder to read than a well-spaced one. Aim for appropriate margins and consistent spacing between sections.
Polish your resume with manual review - automated validation coming soon.
Currently, our system doesn't include automated validation. Please carefully review all content manually to ensure accuracy and professionalism.
This critical step requires your careful attention. Since we don't have built-in validation systems, thorough manual review is essential for a professional-grade resume.
Review Tip: Since there's no automated validation, consider using external tools like Grammarly or asking a friend to proofread. Small errors can significantly impact your professional image.
Export your resume as a styled PDF or an editable Word (.docx) document.
Download a styled PDF or an editable Word document. Sign-in is required to download.
Your polished resume is ready for deployment. Choose between two download formats based on your needs and the requirements of your target applications.
• Follow the listing: Use the exact file format requested by the employer
• For consistent presentation: Review and use the PDF when the portal accepts it
• For further editing: Download the .docx file if you plan to make changes in a word processor
• For printing: PDF provides better print quality and formatting consistency
• When unsure: PDF is the safer choice for professional submissions
Important Note: The Word document uses a clean, simplified layout. Decorative details from your selected on-screen template are not carried into the .docx file.
File Naming Best Practice: Use this format: "FirstName-LastName-Position-Company.pdf" (e.g., "John-Smith-DataScientist-Google.pdf"). This makes it easy for recruiters to find and identify your resume.
