Who the designer suits
The designer is for people who want a layout no template offers: a sidebar, a boxed skills block or a two-column header. You place each part and the preview shows page breaks as you work.
Free-form layouts can be read less reliably by some applicant tracking systems, so use a single-column design for online applications and the designer for networking, creative roles or printed copies.
For a ready-made, plain page, use the simple ATS resume template or browse all templates.
Custom ATS resume questions
Is there a drag-and-drop resume builder with no sign-up?
Yes. This designer runs in your browser and needs no account.
Will columns work with ATS?
Some systems read columns in the wrong order. For online applications, a single-column layout is the safer choice.
Can I start from a template?
Yes. Start from a preset layout and adjust everything.
How do I align items?
Select several items, then use the align and snap tools to line them up.
Can I download PDF and Word?
Yes, both, in US Letter or A4.
