Free Resume Maker

The sections every resume needs

• Contact details — name, phone, email, city, and a LinkedIn or portfolio link.
• Summary — two or three lines on who you are and what you're aiming for.
• Experience — most recent first: title, company, dates, and three to five bullet points each, led by what you achieved.
• Education — degree, institution, and year; add your score if you're early in your career.
• Skills — the tools and abilities the job asks for, grouped so they're easy to scan.
• Extras that earn their place — projects, certifications, languages, or awards.

Make a resume in minutes

1. Start — upload an existing resume (PDF, DOCX, or a photo), or open the sample resume and replace its content with yours.
2. Fill in and edit — rewrite any line, add or remove sections, and reorder them.
3. Choose a look — switch templates, fonts, and colours; your content moves with you.
4. Check the length — one page for most early-career resumes, two once you have real depth.
5. Download your PDF.

Resume format tips

• Use reverse-chronological order — recruiters and ATS both expect your latest role first.
• Keep body text at a readable size and margins generous; white space makes a resume faster to scan.
• Start bullet points with a strong verb and end them with a result or a number where you have one.
• Stay consistent: one date format, one bullet style, one way of writing job titles.
• Name the file clearly, e.g. Firstname_Lastname_Resume.pdf.

Why not just use Word or Google Docs?

You can — but a word processor makes you do the design work, and one stray table or text box can scramble what an ATS reads. A resume maker keeps spacing and alignment consistent, lets you try a new design in one click without retyping, and produces a clean, text-based PDF every time.
