The Resume Builder

A free builder with a live preview that matches the PDF exactly - the five rooms it is divided into, and which parts cost credits.

View as .md

The Resume Builder is free. Building, editing, designing and exporting cost nothing and are not limited by credits, and you can keep up to 10 resumes in your account.

Some of the analysis around it is paid, and this page is the honest map of which is which.

The five rooms#

A resume opens into rooms rather than one long form:

RoomWhat you do there
ContentWrite. Sections, entries, bullets.
DesignTemplate, colours, spacing, photo.
ImproveAI assists, and the checklist of things worth fixing.
ExportPDF, DOCX or plain text.

The preview is beside you throughout, and it is not an approximation - exporting your resume explains why what you see is what the PDF contains.

How many resumes you can keep#

Ten. That is a storage bound, not a plan limit - there is no version that raises it, and no way to buy more.

Ten is comfortably above what per-application tailoring needs, because tailoring is done by duplicating a resume and hiding what does not apply, then pruning as you go. If you are at the limit, delete the ones for jobs that have closed - export anything you actually sent first, because that is the version you will be interviewed against.

Where to start#

  1. Bring in what you have. Import a PDF or DOCX, or pull from LinkedIn - see starting your resume.
  2. Fix the content before the design. A good template cannot rescue vague bullets, and the checklist in Improve tells you which ones are vague.
  3. Design once you have the words, because the layout follows the length.
  4. Export, and keep the file you sent.
