Upload your career files and résumés
The builder consolidates performance reports, existing résumés, awards, evaluations, and training records into one Master Résumé automatically.
OPTIONAL TARGETING
Add a job description
Upload or paste the complete posting. Résumé intelligence identifies the title, employer, location, priorities, qualifications, and keywords before building from the Master Résumé.
STEP 2
Choose the résumé color and typography
Every style uses a polished professional structure: an outlined monogram made from the user's first-name and last-name initials, clear hierarchy, split section labels, shaded bands, right-aligned dates, and a matching cover sheet. Choose from all 40 styles and all 36 named colors.
Professional application design
The cover sheet automatically inherits the résumé design. The monogram is generated from each user’s first and last name while style controls change the accent and typography.
