Resume Builder
Write a CV in plain sections and download it as a PDF. The layout is deliberately one column with real text and no graphics, because the first thing that reads most applications is not a person — it is an applicant tracking system, and the two-column templates with sidebars and icons are exactly the ones those systems garble. Boring and parseable beats designed and discarded.

The PDF is built in this page — nothing you type is uploaded. You can disconnect from the internet and the download will still work.
Nothing is uploaded — this tool runs inside your browser, so your files never leave your device.

Resume Builder — frequently asked questions
Because most applications are read by software before a human sees them, and applicant tracking systems parse a single column of ordinary text reliably and a two-column design badly. Sidebars get interleaved with the main column, icons become nothing, and text inside a graphic is invisible. A plain CV is not a worse CV — it is one that arrives intact.
