A smart resume builder with job-title suggestions

A smart resume builder splits the work of a resume between you and the tool. It handles the parts that follow rules, such as section order, spacing and alignment, and offers AI-enhanced suggestions based on each job's title. Your part is the choosing: which title to enter, which lines suit each job, where your numbers go and when to write a line yourself.

What makes a resume builder smart?

Three things: guided steps, suggested lines tied to each job title and a layout that sets itself. The steps show you which section comes next, so nothing gets missed. The suggestions mean no job on your resume starts from a blank box. The layout keeps everything tidy as you type, in an ATS-friendly template. That matters because employers see more applications per opening and often screen them with software first; the hiring research has the figures. See each part at work in what the builder does.

Which job title should I type?

Type the title you actually held, the way your employer wrote it. The builder searches its list of job titles with it and shows lines for the closest match. If those lines don't fit your work, search a similar title in the suggestions panel; it can differ from the title on your resume. If you were a "Guest Experience Lead," keep that title and search "front desk supervisor" for lines about the same work.

What if I held the same job at more than one employer?

Give each job its own lines. Because the suggestions follow the title, you'll see much the same ones each time, so avoid repeating a line under every job. Choose the lines that show what changed at each employer: a bigger team, a new system, more responsibility or a step up. Here's how a lab assistant who held the same job three times might give each one a line of its own:

• Latest job: "Prepared up to 45 blood samples a shift and cut relabeling requests by about half."
• The job before: "Moved the lab's sample records from paper logs to a new tracking system."
• First job: "Set up testing stations each morning for a team of six technicians."

Each line is true of one job only, so together they show how your work grew. Promoted at the same employer? Add each title as its own job with the same employer name, newest first, and give the newer title your strongest lines. For wording from your field, browse resume examples by industry below.

Where does a number go in a suggested line?

Straight after the verb, or at the end of the line. A figure after the verb shows how much of the task you handled, and one at the end shows what changed. An HVAC technician might turn "Serviced residential heating systems" into "Serviced five furnaces a day and cut repeat visits for the same fault by a third." Which records hold your figures depends on the work:

• Retail and sales: commission statements and the targets on your scorecard
• Customer support: call or chat counts and satisfaction scores from your team's dashboard
• Warehouse and delivery: pick rates, stops per route or orders logged on the scanner
• Trades and field service: jobs closed and repeat visits, from your work orders

No numbers for a job? Name the change you made instead, such as an error you caught, and see the FAQ for a finished example. Our resume-writing guide shows another before-and-after with a number.

When should I write a line from scratch?

Write your own line whenever the work was true only of you at that employer: an award, a project you led, a problem you solved or a change you pushed through. A suggestion is written for everyone who holds your title, so it can't know about these. Aim for at least one per job, since it's often the line an interviewer asks about. To find yours, ask yourself:

• What did I start, fix or improve that wasn't there before?
• What was I trusted with that others in the same role weren't?
• What would my manager mention first if asked about me?

Write each answer as one line that opens with a verb, then place it near the top of that job. Our list of strong action verbs helps when the right word won't come.
