6 Resume Builders To Build The Best Resume For You

Written by Faizan Patankar

Resumes are a digital version of you on paper. Creating resumes shouldn’t be boring. These resume builders help spice up the art of making a good resume.

Use resume builders with caution. Although they are the latest tech in the world of careers, they surely aren’t universally acceptable.

Most companies still use application tracking systems (ATS). These are like robots that scan your resume before it reaches a human being. It may be the case that the resume you build using a resume builder will not be practical to use in all applications.

Use resume builders to make digital resumes and compliment your paper resume. I don’t think digital resumes are ready just yet to replace the paper resume.

How do you select a good resume builder?

The answer lies in trialing some of the listed resume builders and seeing for yourself which one is best for you.

There is no definite answer on what makes a good resume builder. Each one of them have subtly different features that make them unique. For you, the only thing that really matters is, whichever resume builder you use, make sure it showcases you.

Don’t select a resume builder platform for it’s features and awesomeness. The key is, that resume has to make you look awesome. Focus on you.
