Free Resume Builder tries to give you a good tool and honest advice. But hiring is decided by people and companies I have no connection to, so there are limits to what any resume site can promise. Here they are, plainly.
The guides are general advice
The guides are written to be practical and accurate, and I update them when I find something wrong. Still, they’re general information, not professional career, legal, or immigration advice. Hiring conventions differ between countries, industries, and individual employers, and they change over time. If an employer or job portal gives you specific instructions — a page limit, a required format, whether to include a photo — follow theirs over anything you read here.
No guarantee of results
A well-written resume improves your chances, but no template, guide, or tool can guarantee an interview or a job offer. Decisions are made by recruiters and hiring managers based on many things outside your resume, from how many people applied to what the team needs that month.
About applicant tracking systems
The templates use real text headings and simple structure, which helps hiring software read them. But there are many different applicant tracking systems, each set up differently by each employer, and I can’t test them all. Nothing on this site should be read as a promise that a resume will “pass” or “beat” any particular system.
AI-generated suggestions
The optional resume import and “Make ATS-friendly” rewrite use an AI model. Its output can contain mistakes: a detail placed in the wrong section, a number changed, or wording that claims more than you actually did. You’re responsible for checking every line before you send your resume anywhere. Never submit claims you can’t back up in an interview.
Examples are fictional
Names, companies, phone numbers, email addresses, links, and figures in sample resumes and guide examples are made up to illustrate a point. Any resemblance to real people or organisations is coincidental. Numbers in examples are illustrative — use only figures from your own work that you can explain.
Ads and external links
Ads on this site are served by Google, not chosen by me, and appearing here doesn’t mean I recommend the product or service. Links to other websites are provided for convenience; I don’t control those sites and am not responsible for their content.
Keep your own copy
Drafts are saved only in your browser. Clearing your browser data, using private browsing, or switching devices can mean losing a draft, and I have no way to recover it. Download a PDF of anything important.
