Creating a professional, ATS-optimized resume doesn’t have to take hours. The Resume Builder walks you through the entire process step by step, ensuring you present your experience in a way that gets you noticed by both automated systems and hiring managers.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to building a standout resume in minutes.

Access the Resume Builder

1. Log in to your account on JobLeads

2. Navigate to the Resume section on your main dashboard

Start your resume

You have two options:

1. Upload an existing resume: If you already have a resume, click Select a file to upload your CV. The Resume Builder accepts PDF, DOCX, DOC, ODT, or PAGES formats (up to 5 MB). This gives you a starting point you can refine and optimize. If you’ve experienced issues and cannot upload your resume, check that your file format and size meet these requirements.

2. Create a new resume: Select I don’t have a resume to build one from scratch. The builder will guide you through each section.

Build your ATS-optimized resume

The Resume Builder is designed to help you create a resume that impresses recruiters while passing applicant tracking systems. Follow these resume instructions to complete each section:

• Personal details: Enter your first and last name, location, country, LinkedIn profile, email, and phone number. This ensures employers can reach you easily.

• Desired job or job title: Tailor your resume for a specific role by entering the job title you’re targeting. This helps the builder frame your experience around what that position requires.

• Work experience: Review and update your job titles, employers, and employment dates. You can add new roles, edit existing ones, or change their order to prioritize the most relevant experience. When you add your CV details here, focus on impact and results.

• Education: Confirm your degrees, institutions, and graduation dates. Add new entries or rearrange as needed to highlight your qualifications.

Choose your template and style

• Select a template: Choose from a variety of professionally designed resume templates that match your personal style and the image you want to project, whether basic, modern, or elegant.

• Personalize the design: Pick an accent color to capture attention and a font style that complements your chosen template. These details make your resume visually distinct while maintaining professionalism.
