About howtobuildresume
We help you build your first resume—or improve the one you have—without hassle.
What we do
howtobuildresume is a free resume builder that creates professional, ATS-optimized resumes. You can upload an existing resume and we'll enhance it with smart questions, paste your LinkedIn profile and we'll turn it into a resume, or start from a blank template and build step by step.
Our goal is to make resume writing simple so you can focus on getting hired.
Why ATS matters
Most companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to screen resumes. We use clean formatting and standard sections so your resume parses correctly in ATS. We also provide tips on keywords and structure so your resume gets past the bots and in front of recruiters.
Get started
Choose your path: upload a resume, paste LinkedIn, or start blank. Then follow the steps to build and export your resume as a PDF.
