How to use Resume Maker in a few steps

Resume Maker is designed so you can build a polished resume in under five minutes. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Pick a resume design

Open the Resume Maker and browse the available template designs. Each layout organizes sections like Summary, Experience, Education, and Skills differently — pick the one that fits your field best.

Step 2: Fill in your personal details

Enter your full name, email address, phone number, and city or region. These appear at the top of the resume so recruiters can reach you quickly.

Step 3: Add your work experience

For each role, enter the job title, company name, employment dates, and two to four bullet points describing your responsibilities and achievements. Use action verbs and quantifiable results where possible.

Step 4: Enter your education

Add your degree or diploma, the institution name, and your graduation year. If you are a recent graduate, you can also list relevant coursework or academic honors.

Step 5: List your skills

Type your key technical skills (tools, languages, frameworks) and soft skills (communication, leadership, teamwork) in the skills section.

Step 6: Download or print your resume

The live preview shows exactly how the final resume looks. When you are happy with it, click the download button to save the HTML file, or press Ctrl+P (Cmd+P on Mac) and choose Save as PDF.
