Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Build Your Master Resume

This becomes your career foundation — your 'master resume' with ALL your experience. You only do this once.

Time: 10-20 minutes (one time)

  • Sign up (no credit card needed for Free plan)
  • Either upload your existing resume (PDF/Word) or use our builder
  • Fill in your experience, education, skills, and achievements
