How to Write a Good Resume
A resume is the first thing a recruiter sees, so keep it clear, scannable, and honest about what you've done. Lead with a short summary, list your most recent experience first, and quantify results wherever you can - numbers stand out far more than general descriptions.
Tips for a Strong Resume
- Keep your summary to two or three sentences that highlight your strongest skills and experience.
- Start bullet points with action verbs (managed, built, increased, led) instead of "responsible for."
- Where possible, add a number - a percentage, amount, or timeframe - to show real impact.
- Keep it to one or two pages; recruiters usually spend only seconds on a first pass.
- Proofread your contact details carefully - a wrong phone number or email costs interviews.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my information stored anywhere online?
No. Everything you type, including your photo, stays in your own browser's local storage. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Can I use this on mobile?
Yes. On mobile, the "Save as PDF" button generates a downloadable PDF directly; on desktop it opens your browser's print dialog so you can save as PDF or print.
Do I have to fill in every field?
No. Sections like certifications, projects, awards, and languages are optional and simply won't appear on the resume if left blank.
Can I back up or move my resume to another device?
Yes. Use the "Export as JSON" button to download a backup file, then use "Import JSON" on any device to restore it.
