    How to make a resume without getting stuck

    Get the facts onto the page first. Editing becomes much easier once the whole story is visible.

    1Set the target

    Use the job title you want near the top and mirror the plain language used in suitable job descriptions.

    2Prove the work

    For each recent role, write two to four bullets that connect an action to a result, scale or useful measure.

    3Trim and export

    Remove anything that does not support the target role, proofread once, then save the finished resume as a PDF.

    Where is my resume information stored?

    Your draft stays in this browser using local storage. The builder does not send your resume content to resume.cool or require a cloud account.

    Can I make an ATS-friendly resume?

    How do I download my resume?

    What should I put in my work-experience bullets?
