Popular Questions

Is ResumeFast really free?

Yes! ResumeFast is 100% free forever. You can create unlimited resumes, use all templates, and download as many times as you want. No credit card required, no hidden fees, no trials. We believe everyone deserves access to professional resume tools.

Do I need to create an account?

No account required! Start creating your resume immediately without any signup. Your work is automatically saved in your browser using local storage. If you want to access your resume from multiple devices, you can optionally create a free account.

How do I create my first resume?

Click 'Create Resume' or 'Start Building' on the homepage. Choose a template you like. Fill in your information section by section: contact info, professional summary, work experience, education, and skills. The resume updates in real-time as you type. When you're done, click 'Download' to save your resume.

How do I add work experience?

In the resume builder, find the 'Work Experience' section. Click 'Add Experience' to create a new entry. Fill in: Job Title, Company Name, Location, Start/End Date, and bullet points describing your responsibilities and achievements. Use the AI suggestions feature to enhance your bullet points.

Can I edit my resume after downloading?

Yes! Your resume is automatically saved in your browser. Simply return to ResumeFast and continue editing. If you downloaded as DOCX, you can also edit it in Microsoft Word or Google Docs. For PDF files, come back to ResumeFast to make changes and re-download.

How do I use the AI suggestions feature?

When writing bullet points in your work experience, click the 'AI Enhance' button. Our AI will suggest improved versions of your content with stronger action verbs, quantifiable metrics, and better formatting. Choose the suggestion you like or use it as inspiration to write your own.

How do I download my resume?

Click the 'Download' button in the top right corner of the resume builder. Choose your format (PDF recommended for applying to jobs, DOCX if you need to edit further). Your resume will download immediately. You can download as many times as you want.

Which format should I choose - PDF or DOCX?

For most job applications, choose PDF format. PDFs maintain formatting across all devices and can't be accidentally edited. Choose DOCX if the job posting specifically asks for Word format, or if you want to make edits in Microsoft Word or Google Docs.

How do I choose the right template?

Consider your industry and experience level. Traditional industries (finance, law, healthcare) prefer classic templates like 'Nobel' or 'Pärla'. Creative fields (marketing, design, tech) can use more modern layouts like 'Ruta' or 'Avenyn'. All templates are ATS-friendly. You can preview and switch templates at any time without losing your content.

Are the resumes ATS-friendly?

Yes! All our templates are designed to pass Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). They use simple formatting, standard fonts, no tables or graphics, and proper section headings. Our templates have a 92% ATS pass rate based on testing with major ATS platforms like Workday, Greenhouse, and Taleo.

How is my resume saved?

Your resume is automatically saved in your browser's local storage as you type. No account needed! If you want to access your resume from multiple devices or ensure it's backed up, you can optionally create a free account to save to the cloud.

Can I create multiple resumes?

Yes! You can create unlimited resumes for free. We recommend tailoring your resume for each job application by emphasizing relevant skills and experience. Create different versions for different types of positions or industries.
