Whether you’re newly to the workforce, newly seeking a job, or simply unhappy with the results you’re getting with your existing resume, have you thought about starting your resume from scratch? It may seem intimidating, but the good news is that there are many, many websites out there that are great resources. And your new resume may provide the boost your job search needs.
It’s easy to find articles about improving and optimizing your resume–but what about a site that actually creates your resume for you? I call these the “plug and play” options. Welcome to my master list!
- resume.com
- monster.com (you can post your resume for free here too)
- linkedin.com (build a profile, and LinkedIn will let you choose from multiple templates to turn this into a beautifully formatted resume)
- visualcv.com
- myperfectresume.com
- super-resume.com
- resumebuilder.org
- app.resumegenius.com
- livecareer.com
- theladders.com/resume-reviewer
- canva.com
Personally, my favorite in terms of user experience and final product is The Ladders. The Ladders takes it a step further and helps you with the actual content of your resume. You can also upload an existing resume, have The Ladders instantly assess it, and follow its guided process for improving key areas.
