Resume and CV Builder

The PDF is real text in reading order, so it can be searched, copied and read by applicant tracking systems. Nothing is uploaded: the document is made on your device.

How to use the Resume and CV Builder
- Choose a layout: compact, spacious or section-led. Start blank or from the labelled sample.
- Fill in your name and contact details, a short profile, then each role with its dates and a few bullet points (start a line with a dash).
- Pick the section order (experience first or skills first) and A4 or US Letter.
- Choose Create document. The finished PDF opens under View your document, page by page.
- Download that same PDF, or a Word (.docx) copy with the same headings. Save the project file to edit it later.
Example
A two-page A4 resume for a project coordinator: profile, two roles with bullet points, a diploma and four skills, in the compact layout with a footer page count.
What it does not do
- No photo, logo or company branding: a resume is about you.
- Nothing is written for you and nothing is scored. The builder lays out what you enter.
- Plain text only. Emoji and characters outside the bundled Noto Sans font are named so you can remove them.
- Up to 250 pages and 500 entries in any list.
Documents are made in your browser and are not uploaded or stored by Zerdly. Check the finished document before you use it.
