Three Tips for Using Resume Builder 2.0

After nearly three months in development, we're proud to announce the release of version 2.0 of our online resume builder! By taking all of your comments and suggestions, we've created a one-of-a-kind tool that we feel no other resume builder even comes close to. So what's so great about version 2?

1) Phrase Builders - One of the biggest problems people seem to have in writing a resume is articulating the experience that they've gained over the years. A lot of people have a hard time describing their accomplishments with the proper amount of fanfare. When writing a resume, you need to be sure that your description pays proper tribute to your past experience. You may have spent the last 15 years doing exactly what's needed to prepare you for that dream job, but if you can't properly articulate that experience on your resume, you may never even get your foot in the door.

2) Templates, Templates, Templates - Writing a resume the old fashioned way is hard - formatting a resume the old fashioned way is excruciating. With version 2.0 we've reduced the act of formatting your resume down to a single mouse click. No need to play around with tables and borders in Word only to find out that you can't export to some other format that's required for the next job you want to apply for. Simply click on the template you think works best for you and it's ready to download in multiple formats.

3) Context Sensitive Tips - One common request we received was more help with what types of information to enter into specific fields. Now on each page, and in some cases each field of the resume builder, you'll get handy tips on how to fill in the blanks.

We've worked hard to build a tool that makes writing a great resume as effortless as possible. So if you haven't checked it out yet, I highly recommend you give it a go.

It's your feedback that drove this latest release and it's your feedback that will continue to make it better.
