ResumeHow to use the builder
- Choose Fresher or Experienced. It sets the order of sections.
- Fill in your details. The page on the right (below, on a phone) updates as you type. Leave a box empty and its section does not appear.
- Write points, one per line. Start each with an action word and include a number where you can. The guide on experience points shows how.
- Watch the "fits on one page" line. If the text is too long, shorten it or press "Fit to one page".
- Pick a style and colour. All three styles are single-column and plain, so that people and software can read them.
- Press "Print or save as PDF". Choose "Save as PDF", A4, and switch off headers and footers. The file is named with your name.
- Download a backup if you want to edit later on another device.
Getting a clean PDF
The PDF is made by your own browser's print function, so it contains real text that can be searched and copied, which is what resume-reading software needs. In the print window: set Destination to "Save as PDF"; Paper size A4; Margins "None" (or "Default" if your browser has no such option); untick "Headers and footers"; tick "Background graphics" if you chose the Modern style, so that the coloured band prints. On a phone, use the Share or Print option in the browser menu and choose "Save as PDF".
What the builder leaves out, and why
There are no boxes for a photograph, date of birth, father's name, marital status or a declaration. A private employer rarely needs them, they take space from what you can do, and a resume that is forwarded and uploaded should carry as little personal data as possible. If an employer asks for any of these, give them in your email or on their form. The reasons are set out in photo, declaration and personal details.
Privacy
Nothing you type leaves your device. The text is kept in your browser's local storage so that it is still there tomorrow; "Clear all" removes it, and so does clearing the site data in your browser. On a shared or cyber-café computer, press "Clear all" before you leave.

Questions people ask
Is the resume builder free?
Yes. There is no charge, no login and no watermark on the printed page.
Where is my resume saved?
Only in your own browser on your own device. It is not uploaded. Use "Download backup" to keep a copy or move it to another device.
How do I get a PDF?
Press "Print or save as PDF". In the print window choose "Save as PDF" as the printer, paper size A4, margins "None" or "Default", and switch off headers and footers.
Why does it say my resume is too long?
The page is a real A4 sheet. If your text runs past the bottom, shorten it or press "Fit to one page", which reduces the font size step by step to a readable minimum.
Can I add a photo?
The builder leaves it out on purpose, because most private employers do not need one. If an employer asks for a photo, send it with your application as they instruct.
Guides
General guidance. This page gives general suggestions on writing a resume, reviewed in November 2026. Employers differ: if an advertisement or application form asks for a particular format or detail, follow it. Every name, employer and college in our examples is invented. Nothing here promises an interview or a job.
