Resume io

Features

Resume.io offers feature-rich tools for writing resumes and cover letters for all sorts of jobs. Here are some highlights:

• AI Pre-Written Phrases: AI-written phrases and keywords to describe education or professional experiences. It eliminates the need to write descriptions yourself.
• Spell Check: The built-in spell checker automatically checks and corrects all the spelling in the resume or cover letter text, preventing embarrassing typos.
• Automatic Summary Generator: Creates a profile summary automatically based on your education and professional history.
• Multiple Formats: Resumes can be downloaded in Word or PDF formats (with paid plans) in just one click. The free plan only allows .TXT export, which doesn’t export all the design and formatting.
• Designed for resume filtering algorithms: Resume.io’s templates and designs have been optimized for the algorithms that many recruiters use to select resumes for positions.
• Share via Link: Users can pass around their resumes created using Resume.io with an easily shareable link.

Template Library

Resume.io offers 25+ resume templates and 500 examples of resumes from various industries, such as nursing, healthcare, marketing, education, government, and more. The templates are bifurcated into several categories, including Simple, ATS, Modern, Creative, and Professional. Professionals have developed all the templates to impress both robot and human reviewers. Each template shows how many users have chosen it for their resumes.

The Simple templates feature mostly monochromatic designs with straightforward information, ideal for beginners and professionals. Similarly, the professional templates are for experts in their fields, combining professionalism with some styling. The modern category of templates includes various options, ranging from minimalist to catchy. Creative templates are suitable for art and design professionals. The ATS resume templates are optimized for applicant tracking systems, which are often used to analyze and rank job applicants.

In addition to resume templates, job seekers can try out 17 templates for job cover letters, which are also divided into similar categories.

Customization Options

All the templates at Resume.io are customizable. Users can change the text and the layout by moving the different elements around. Similarly, the color scheme can be customized. Most templates feature a photo, which can be removed. In the skills section of the templates, the skills can be added or removed. You can also add the level of skills on a five-point scale, represented through color-progressed bars.

Ease of Use

Resume.io is fairly easy to use, thanks to its pre-built templates. The many examples are also helpful in finding inspiration. The user interface is intuitive and straightforward, making it easier for users to find exactly what they need without a learning curve.

Editing and customizing the templates is quick and easy, and features like AI-written phrases and descriptions help create the content for the resume.

It’s a desktop-only tool that you can use with a web browser. It’s not available as a mobile app, which makes sense as editing a resume can be tedious and error-prone on a mobile device.

Additional Resources

Once users sign up for a paid plan with Resume.io, they also get access to other tools, such as interview prep, to help them in their job-hunting journey.
