I decided to change my job last month from a software development agency to an in-house team, and in almost 2 weeks I tried and tried so many web app to create my resume. And this is a review for you. Share your experience here if you want.

1. Canva Upsides:

  • They offer you many types of templates (direct, infographic, or clean and simple, etc.) to start with.
  • You can download it in PDF and PNG files.
  • It’s mostly free (there will be a watermark on your CV if you use not-free resources). Downside:
  • Some of the templates are not practical due to too much color, elements for a professional resume.
  • The web is kinda slow and difficult to navigate.

3.5/5

  • There are several forms of CV to choose from.
  • They have a questionnaire to collect your information, and tips to help you write a good resume.
