Resume Genius builder software review

Curious about our builder? Let’s take a look at what makes it stand out from the competition.

Features

When you use a resume builder, you want it to do more than just prompt you to fill in your information. It should actively help you along the process as well.

These key features are what make our resume builder easy to use and fast:

Template recommendations

Picking the right template based on your industry and level of experience can be tricky.

That’s why the Resume Genius builder has a feature that allows you to plug in basic information about your professional and educational background before you even start your resume.

Based on your answer, our software will generate a selection of recommended templates.

If you don’t find a template you like among the ones suggested for you, click the “View all templates” button to get access to other designs.

Automatic formatting

One of the benefits of using the Resume Genius resume builder is that you don’t need to worry about margin sizes, fonts, or formatting your resume correctly. The builder takes care of all the formatting for you, ensuring your application looks polished.

If you notice that your resume is too long or that there’s a lot of white space once you’ve added all your information, click “Formatting Options” at the top and adjust the font size until your resume meets the recommended resume length of one page.

AI-generated bullet points

One of the most time-consuming parts of creating a resume is writing concise yet impactful resume bullet points. To speed up this process, our builder provides a list of bullet points relevant to your job title.

If you don’t like the options you’re given or you would like to edit the bullet points to better match your experience, you can do so directly in the builder.

Pre-written resume introductions

A compelling resume introduction is brief, punchy, and highlights the top reasons why employers should hire you. Writing an introduction that meets these criteria is no easy feat, especially if you’re writing a resume for your first job.

If you need help getting started, simply type in your job title and you’ll get a list of pre-written resume summaries tailored to your industry.
