What should I consider when choosing a free resume maker?

When choosing a resume maker, look for a tool that strikes a balance between ease of use, flexibility, and quality. Here are a few key features to look for: 

  • User-friendly interface: The tool should be intuitive and easy to navigate, with guided input fields or drag-and-drop functionality that make resume creation stress-free.
  • Template variety and design quality: Look for a wide range of modern, professionally designed templates tailored to different industries and experience levels. 
  • Customization options: A good resume maker lets you personalize by rearranging sections to achieve your optimal resume length and changing fonts and colors. 
  • Download and export options: Ensure you can download your resume in popular formats like PDF, .docx, or .txt. 
  • Extra features: Useful add-ons like pre-written bullet points, resume scoring, built-in spell check, and a cover letter builder can make the process even smoother.
  • Support and guidance: Choose a builder that also offers writing tips, resume examples, and career advice. This is especially helpful if you’re not sure where to begin.

With our Resume Builder, you can create a job-winning resume and cover letter and receive guidance for the entire job search process through our tips and how-to guides. 

What does it mean for a resume to be ATS-friendly?

Most employers use an applicant tracking system (ATS) to filter out resumes that lack essential keywords related to the job’s required skills and qualifications. 

That’s why creating an ATS-friendly resume is so important—it ensures that your resume is properly formatted and written so the software can read and interpret it correctly.

The best resume builder tools not only guide you through creating a visually appealing resume but also help optimize it for ATS compatibility. 

MyPerfectResume’s Resume Builder simplifies this process with professionally designed templates and content suggestions that align with your industry and job title. 

This helps you include the right keywords and phrases to optimize your resume for both ATS screening and hiring managers.

Should I customize my resume for every job application?

Yes, a targeted resume is more likely to catch the attention of hiring managers. Each job posting has its own set of requirements, and your resume should reflect them. 

Choosing the right resume format and tailoring your resume to highlight the skills and experiences that match the job description shows employers that you’re a great fit. 

With our Resume Builder, you can decide on a one- or two-page resume and adjust elements such as section order and line and section spacing to achieve your desired layout. 

A two-page resume works best for professionals with over 10 years of relevant experience. If your relevant experience is under 10 years, opt for a one-page resume.

To further customize your application, you can optimize your cover letter format using our Cover Letter Generator to ensure your resume and cover letter match.

What do employers think of professional resume builders?

Employers care most about the content and clarity of your resume, and many value the structure and polish that resume builders provide. When you use a free resume builder online, you can easily create a well-organized, professional-looking resume that stands out to hiring managers.

Our professional Resume Builder includes expert content suggestions that target the keywords and skills employers are looking for, so that your resume highlights relevant qualifications. You can easily edit these recommendations to suit your style, or skip them and write your own content from scratch using the provided text box.

If you’re applying for a federal government job, we’ve got you covered there, too. Our federal resume templates are designed to meet the specific formatting and detail requirements these applications demand, so you can apply confidently with a resume that checks all the right boxes.
