Can someone please suggest a free resume builder application.
Most resume builder websites write FREE on their home page, but once user creates resume and tries to download, it asks for payment. :P

Come on, Elon! This wasn't expected from you. At least talk about 3D or 4D resumes or something like the dynamic resume content - resume would read the interviewer's mind and change its content automatically. Microsoft Word, roflmao!
Do not use LaTeX or any design templates.
It just screams desperation.
Resume that stand out in terms of looks are pushed to bottom of stack.
Anything you write in Google docs is ATS friendly.
I've coded an ATS which is used in production today.
Pls don't overthink it, just one pager Google doc is more than enough till director or VP level, because beyond that resume don't matter, only reference matter.

If you suggest keeping a resume only limited to 1 page at any point of time can you help us by letting us know how to make sure to include all that's necessary is just one page!
My resume is 1 page.
Any director or VP resume I've seen is 1 page.
Any candidate with patents I've seen is also 1 page.
I make 80Lpa, directors I've interviewed make 2.5cr+.
Sde1's I've interviewed had 2-3 pages sometime 😂. Pls don't do this.
Any employer's want to see only last 3 employments in detail, it's rational.
Rest all is expected to be available upon request.
Of course at the bottom of resume you need to mention one line-
"12yrs cumulative at IBM, nvidia, Intel, etc"
Why >1page are bad?
- At any point recruiter or hiring manager is looking at 100k+ resume, so please develop empathy and make their life easier and make yourself noticed faster.
- Recruiters have wired their brain to forget everything that is beyond 1st page of a resume for a candidate, consider this evolutionary biology, their context window is limited 😂
- You don't appear humble, people want to work with humble people.

Canva resumes are not great afaik. Most of them are not ATS friendly, usually 2 columns too and a little too flashy. Usually has an image frame as well which is unnecessary

It won’t make it fancy but its neat.
should we rely on one that gives us ATS compliant one rather than fancy bells and whistles?

Good point. Text should be readable in the pdf format, that's it. And, resume builder websites have this basic functionality ofcourse. :)

Resumake has been incredibly useful. They have predefined standard templates that does the job well and you can download your resume as latex file or a pdf.
But mostly I use it because it also has the option to download your resume as a json so whenever you want to make a change you can mostly get a feel for the json structure and edit the file and upload it to resumake to get the new one. I usually keep a few variants of the json file if I am applying for different roles as it is easy to maintain and I can just as easily swap out stuff without worrying about alignment, spacing, font etc for the most part.
Very underated, would be the resume templates in MS word, have been using the same template for the past 7 years and secured 7 offers with it
