Create a resume from scratch

Before you start

Gather your contact details, recent roles, education, skills, and relevant links. Dates, job titles, employer names, and measurable outcomes are especially useful.

Create the resume

Open Resume Builder → Resumes.
Select Create Resume and then Create from scratch.
Enter your personal details and professional summary.
Add experience roles, education, skills, and languages.
Add optional sections such as projects, certifications, awards, publications, volunteering, interests, references, or a custom section when they strengthen your application.
Use the live document preview to check content flow and page length.
Rename the resume so its purpose is clear in your document list.

Expected result

The resume appears in your Resumes area and remains editable in the builder. Once it contains sufficient usable content, you can run AI Review or tailor it for a role.

Troubleshooting

If AI Review or tailoring is disabled, complete the essential resume sections and make sure the resume has finished saving.
If a section is irrelevant, hide or remove it instead of leaving placeholder content.
If content overflows, adjust wording, spacing, layout, or page configuration before reducing important detail.

Add, edit, hide, and arrange resume sections

Choose or change a resume template
