Resume BuilderFree

A free resume builder that does not ask for your card at the end

Most resume sites let you build the whole thing and then want money for the download. This one does not: you pick a template, write it, and the PDF saves to your device. There is no account to make and nothing to pay, at the start or at the end.

Free on every plan, including the free account. Prices in AUD.

How it works

  1. 1

    Say what work you are going for

    Pick from 54 industries — chef, carpenter, aged care, admin, cyber security and the rest. The wording suggestions and keywords change to match the one you choose.

  2. 2

    Fill it in, clicking the suggestions

    Each section offers lines written for that industry. Click one to drop it in and edit it, instead of staring at an empty box trying to describe your own job.

  3. 3

    Watch the score

    A score rates what you have written and names what is missing — a short summary, no numbers in your achievements, keywords the industry expects and you have not used.

  4. 4

    Pick a look and save the PDF

    51 templates, including nine built to stay readable for the automated screeners that read a resume before a person does. The PDF downloads straight to your device.

What you get

  • No account needed — build it and download it
  • 51 templates: ATS-safe, modern, colour, and industry-specific
  • Wording suggestions and keywords for 54 industries

Who it’s for

  • Anyone applying for work who does not want to pay to download their own resume
  • People changing industry, who need the wording for a job they have not done yet
  • Students and first-job applicants starting from an empty page

Questions

Is it actually free, or free until the download?
Actually free. There is no account, no trial, no watermark and no charge at the download — the resume builder is a public page and the PDF saves straight to your device.
What is an ATS-safe template?
Many employers run resumes through software that reads the text before a person sees it, and heavy columns or graphics can confuse it. Nine of the templates are laid out to stay readable to that software.
Do you keep my resume?
You do not need an account to use it, and without one there is nothing to save it to — the resume lives in the page you are working in until you download the PDF.
