How to sign up:
1. Click "Sign Up" in the top right
2. Enter your name, email and password
3. Done! You are logged in and ready to go
After signing in (or without signing in), you reach the Resume editor – the heart of our platform. Edit content and design on the left and see the result immediately in the live preview on the right. Open each section in turn and start with your personal details.
Enter your personal details, work experience, education, skills and other content here. Use “Add” to create multiple entries, the bin icon to remove them and the arrow handles to reorder them by drag and drop.
Every entry appears immediately in the finished layout. Check page breaks, spacing and text length here. On smaller screens, use “Preview” to switch between the form and document view.
Pick the right template for your application from 44 professional designs. 5 Resume templates are completely free; additional designs are optionally available with Premium. Each design is optimized for different industries and positions.
IT, consulting, start-ups
Banking, law, public institutions
Design, marketing, media
Tip: Open “Choose template” in the editor to compare designs directly. You can also adjust the primary colour and font. Your entries remain intact when you switch templates and automatically appear in the new design.
Fill in the individual sections step by step. All sections are optional – you decide what goes into your Resume. Entries can be added, deleted and reordered by drag and drop. You can also use the handles to change the order of the main sections.
Add your work history with the most recent position first. You can create or delete as many positions as you need and drag them into the preferred order.
School, university, vocational training – list all relevant qualifications.
Add languages, IT skills, soft skills and certificates. Use ratings only where they provide useful information and check the result directly in the preview.
A professional photo can enhance your application. Our platform offers a built-in photo editor that lets you crop your image perfectly.
How the photo upload works:
1. Click "Upload photo"
2. Select your image (max. 5MB)
3. Use the cropper to trim it
4. Click "Apply"
