Hi, my name is Katherine and I built the really easy-to-use resume builder. You can create your resume, save data, and download the PDF file without registration.

But with registration it's better: you will able to create multiple profiles and therefore, generate multiple resumes.

Why did I create it? First of all, it's a part of my experiment where I wanted to build really simple, one-function tools to solve some problems. I have a list (now it has more than 20 ideas) of such small tools. I picked up this one because it what bothered me for a long time.

Since I'm a software developer with 17+ years of experience I had to apply for a job many times and creating a resume specifically for every single position was a real pain. So, I thought that maybe other developers have the same problem. Also, I'm going to add some functionality for keeping the information about applications and other features like export to Word, automatic applying etc. (yeah, it's much beyond one function but it still tries to relieve a bit the process of searching and applying for jobs).

So, this is my story. I'd like to hear from folks here what you think about it. Does it worth to keep working on it? Do you think you have another, more significant problem to be solved in this scope? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks all!


Hello. Does this create a resume that is easily read by the computer scanners companies use?


I can't tell you for sure, because I don't have such a company handy but you can see the result PDF is clear and absolutely readable. I have a feeling thought that nobody guesses the page has the instant preview of the resume... Do you see it?
