Choosing the Right Resume Style
Each style targets a different industry and career level. Modern uses a bold indigo header and skill tags — ideal for software, design, and product roles where visual polish matters. Classic presents a centered serif layout that conveys authority in law, finance, and academia. Creative features a teal sidebar, making it stand out in marketing, media, and design. Minimal relies on whitespace and typography alone — a safe choice for any industry that values clarity. Executive pairs a dark navy header with gold accents for senior leadership, consulting, and board-level positions.
Tips for Writing a Stronger Resume
Lead with impact numbers
Quantify achievements wherever possible. "Reduced load time by 40%" is far more compelling than "improved performance."
Tailor to the job description
Mirror the keywords from the job posting in your summary and experience. Applicant tracking systems scan for exact matches before a human ever reads your resume.
Keep it to one page
Unless you have more than 10 years of experience, aim for a single page. Recruiters spend an average of 7 seconds on an initial review — make every line count.
Use active verbs
Start bullet points with strong verbs: Led, Designed, Built, Reduced, Launched, Managed. Avoid passive constructions like "was responsible for."
List relevant skills only
Include skills that appear in the job description or that you can speak to in an interview. A shorter, relevant skills list beats a long generic one.
Word export for ATS-friendly editing
Save as Word (.docx) when you want to tailor the resume for a specific role — open in Word or Google Docs, adjust keywords, and save again without redoing the whole form.
Check margin and font size when printing
Set browser print margins to "None" or "Minimum" for best results. If content is cut off, reduce the number of entries or shorten descriptions before printing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my resume data stored on a server?
No. All data you enter stays entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to any server. Your resume content is private and never uploaded anywhere.
How do I download my resume as a PDF?
Click the "Download / Print PDF" button. Your browser's print dialog will open. Select "Save as PDF" (or "Microsoft Print to PDF" on Windows) as the destination, then click Save. For best results, set margins to "None" or "Minimum" in the print options.
How do I save my resume as a Word (.docx) file?
Click the "Save as Word (.docx)" button. A .docx file is generated directly in your browser and downloaded immediately — no server involved. The Word document contains all your resume content (name, contact, summary, experience, education, skills) in a clean, editable format using Calibri 11pt. You can open it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice and edit it further.
What are the five resume styles and when should I use each?
Modern — clean indigo header and tagged skills, ideal for tech and design roles. Classic — centered serif layout, great for law, finance, and academia. Creative — teal sidebar with distinct columns, perfect for creative fields. Minimal — ultra-clean with generous whitespace, works for any industry. Executive — formal navy and gold, suited to senior leadership and consulting roles.
Can I add multiple jobs and degrees?
Yes. Use the "+ Add" button in the Work Experience and Education sections to add as many entries as you need. Each entry can be removed individually.
Will the resume print correctly on A4 or Letter paper?
The resume preview is designed to fit standard A4 and US Letter paper. When printing, set your browser margins to "None" or "Minimum" to fill the page. The form panel is automatically hidden during printing.
How many skills can I add?
There is no hard limit. Click "+ Add" in the Skills section to add as many skills as you need. Each style displays skills differently — Modern shows them as tags, Classic as a bulleted line, Creative inside the sidebar, Minimal as a clean dot-separated list, and Executive as bordered badges.
Can I switch styles without losing my data?
Yes. Your entered data is preserved when you switch between the five resume styles. Only the visual layout and colour scheme changes.
