How to use the Resume Generator

  1. 1Enter your contact details and a short professional summary.
  2. 2Add your work experience, education and skills.
  3. 3Reorder or remove any section you do not need.
  4. 4Check the preview, then download the PDF.

How it works

The layout is deliberately plain, and that is a feature. Most applications pass through an applicant tracking system that extracts text before a human sees it, and those systems struggle with multi-column layouts, text in tables, icons standing in for labels, and text embedded in graphics. A single column with conventional headings parses cleanly every time.

The PDF is generated as real text with embedded fonts rather than as an image, so the text can be selected, searched and extracted — which is exactly what an ATS needs to do.

Everything stays on your device. Your employment history, contact details and dates are never transmitted.

Tips and common mistakes

  • Tailor the summary and skills to each job you apply for.
  • Describe results, not duties: numbers such as time saved, sales grown or people managed stand out.
  • Keep conventional section headings like Experience, Education and Skills so tracking systems recognise them.
  • Check the finished resume against the job advert with the Resume ATS Checker.

Frequently asked questions

Will this resume pass applicant tracking systems?
The format is built for it: one column, standard headings, real selectable text and no graphics carrying information. That covers the common reasons resumes get mangled.
How long should a resume be?
One page for most people, two if you have more than about ten years of relevant experience. The preview shows page breaks so you can see where you stand.
Can I add a photo?
The template deliberately omits one. Photos are expected in parts of Europe and Asia but discouraged in the UK and North America, where they raise bias concerns and can confuse automated parsing.
Is my personal information uploaded?
No. Everything you type stays in the browser and the PDF is built locally.
Which sections should a resume have?
Contact details, a short summary, work experience, education and skills cover most jobs. Add certifications, projects or languages when they are relevant to the role.
Should I list references?
Usually not. Employers ask for references when they need them, and the space is better used for experience.
How do I check the resume against a job advert?
Paste the advert and your resume into the Resume ATS Checker, which lists missing keywords and formatting problems.
