About Resume builder
Resume builder lays your experience out in one of three single-column templates: Classic in a serif face with a centred header, Modern in a sans-serif with an accent color for your name and section titles, and Compact with tighter spacing for long careers. Every template uses plain section names such as Experience and Education, puts dates on the same line as each job title, and draws the PDF top to bottom in a single reading order. That matters because applicant tracking systems extract the text before a recruiter sees your design, and multi-column layouts, text boxes or images of text often come out scrambled.
The PDF embeds open fonts (Tinos, Arimo or Carlito), and names written in other scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, Chinese or Japanese get matching Noto fonts. Long resumes continue onto a second page with your name and page number in the footer. The plain-text export follows the same section order and is the safest version to paste into online application forms.
Where it's switched on, an optional button beside each bullet asks Claude, Anthropic's AI model, for three rewrites that start with an action verb and leave placeholders like [X%] instead of inventing numbers. You choose whether to use one. The builder doesn't write a resume from scratch, track applications or produce cover letters, and it can't guarantee that a particular employer's system will rank you.
Privacy
Everything you type is kept in this browser's local storage and the PDF is built on your device; nothing is uploaded when you edit or download. The only exception is the optional AI suggestion button: when you press it, that one bullet and the job title are sent to our server and to Anthropic's API to generate suggestions, and the text is not stored.
Features

Single-column PDFs with real text, drawn top to bottom so parsers and copy-paste keep the order.

Seven sections you can move or hide, and jobs, schools and projects you can reorder inside them.
Optional AI rewrites
Three suggestions per bullet that never invent numbers, shown only when the feature is set up.
