Pick one of 40 resume templates, fill in a simple form and watch the finished page update beside it, then download a PDF. Two templates are free. There is also a Statement of Purpose builder for university and student-visa applications, and free articles on resumes, letters, interviews and SOPs.
Most people arrive with one of three jobs to do. Each path below starts with a free guide and ends in the tool that fits.
Students and freshers with education, projects and internships but little work history.
You have the history; it needs sharper bullets and a layout that fits it.
A Statement of Purpose for a master's, PhD or student-visa application.
The builder handles layout, spacing and typography; you handle what to say. Here is what it does — and what it does not.
Each template has a page saying who it suits, its layout, whether it has a photo area, and its weak points.
The page updates as you type and follows the section you are editing, so overflowing bullets and long sidebars show up immediately.
Change the accent colour and hide sections you do not need. The layout itself is fixed by the template.
An image-based PDF that matches the preview exactly. For portals that read uploads, keep a text-based copy too.
What you type stays in your browser. That also means it is not saved — keep your text in your own document.

Writing a resume involves two separate jobs. The first is deciding what to say: which roles matter, how to describe what you achieved, what to cut. The second is making the document behave — aligned bullets, consistent spacing, a section that does not spill onto a third page. A builder takes the second job off your hands: you type into structured sections and the template applies the typography, margins and spacing.
It does not do the first job. It cannot tell whether "managed a team" undersells what you did, or which of your six roles matters for this application. That is what our free guides are for — start with twelve common resume mistakes, each with a before-and-after fix, or tailoring a resume to a job ad.
Short answers to what people ask before they start.
Two templates, Clean Professional and Modern Bordered, can be filled in and downloaded as PDF at no cost. Every other template can be opened and previewed for free; downloading it needs a paid plan. All articles are free.
No. The builder works in your browser and does not save your entries to an account. Keep your text in your own document and download the PDF before closing the page.
No. Resume PDFs are image-based, so they look exactly like the preview but the text cannot be selected. Use them for email and print, and keep a text-based copy for job portals that read uploaded files.
Reverse-chronological, with education, projects and internships near the top. Skills-only (functional) formats hide your timeline and are usually viewed with suspicion, so avoid them for a first resume.
A Statement of Purpose is an essay explaining your academic background, your goals and why a particular programme fits them. Many universities ask for one with master's and PhD applications.
Yes, as PDF or Word, on a paid plan. Pro covers the first 11 SOP templates; Premium and Unlimited cover all of them. Anyone can open and edit SOP templates.
You type a keyword such as "canada student visa" and it returns a matching sample from a library of SOPs our team wrote in advance. It uses plan credits, does not read or rewrite your draft, and involves no AI.
Follow the university's stated limit. Where none is given, many applicants aim for roughly 800 to 1,000 words.
Practical guides with worked examples and samples — free to read, no account needed.
Getting rejected after an interview or application is part of every job search. This article covers how to read a rejection, what to do in the first 24 hours, how to ask for feedback that actually helps, and how to protect your momentum so one "no" does not derail the rest.
How to write a professional bio in three lengths, choose between first and third person, and adapt one set of facts for a conference programme, a company website, LinkedIn or a freelance profile.
A concrete preparation plan for the three days before an interview: what to research, how to turn the job description into six to eight stories, how to answer the questions that come up in almost every round, and how to set up for a video call.
A resignation letter is a short formal record, not a farewell speech. The order of steps, four samples you can adapt, and how to leave with your relieving letter and settlement in order.
Two pages is fine when the experience earns it. Here is how to decide, what belongs on each page, and how to cut when you are stuck at a page and a quarter.
A follow-up email will not rescue a weak application, but it can get a good one looked at. Timing, subject lines, four sample emails and the point at which to stop.
