Expert Reviews

Bridget Baggett

Senior Recruiter

As a Sr. Recruiter and Career Strategist, I know there are limited options that allow you to create a resume as seamlessly as the LiveCareer Builder. I was impressed with the well-thought-out, professional, and modern template designs. The software is easy to use and uniquely customizes your resume down to the color schemes and content options. I was fascinated with the job-targeted phrases and text suggestions that would potentially increase your chances of getting your resume in front of a hiring manager.

The LiveCareer Builder is a perfect tool for anyone looking to update their resume or create an entirely new one. It allows you to write your professional story with the keywords that will set you apart from the competition.

Tiffany Rabara

Director of Talent Acquisition

Navigating the job search can be quite challenging. As a professional deeply engaged in the talent industry, I’m continually seeking ways to support my community and job seekers in their journey. One of the questions I frequently encounter is, “What advice do you have for me to get noticed by recruiters?” My consistent recommendation has been to update your resume regularly. This allows you to capture your achievements while they are still vivid and fresh in your memory.

LiveCareer has been a game-changer in simplifying the resume-building process. I’m particularly impressed by its user-friendly and intuitive interface. Moreover, the designs are incredibly creative and eye-catching, making standing out in job applications much more achievable. This tool significantly streamlines the process and makes it accessible for everyone to always have a freshly updated resume.

Jennifer Parker

Senior Recruiter

As someone in the recruiting industry for 20+ years, I’ve seen many resumes (good and bad). The most successful candidates have very clean, clear and visually appealing resumes. The current candidate market is very competitive, and while updating our resume is a daunting and tedious process, it is imperative to have an up-to-date resume.

I was impressed with how easy the LiveCareer Builder is to use. The process was straightforward and even enjoyable! Being able to visually see what the resume looks like in real time was fantastic. The content suggestions were professional, relevant and conducive to today’s market. The entire process took less than 30 minutes, and the finished product is something that I’d be proud to share with recruiters and managers. I highly encourage job seekers to use LiveCareer’s Builder to create a fresh resume that stands out for the right reasons and broadens their opportunities to get noticed!

What is an applicant tracking system?

An applicant tracking system (ATS) is software that companies use to scan resumes for potential candidates before they reach a human recruiter. Employers program their ATS to look for resumes that meet specific criteria, skills, years of experience, and other qualifications. ATS also looks for formatting inconsistencies and grammatical errors.

To help you make an ATS-friendly resume, LiveCareer’s resume templates, designed for job seekers of all experience levels, have neat formatting that meets every ATS standard.

You can verify if your resume is ATS-compliant by uploading it to our ATS Resume Checker. We’ll let you know what details to change to make it ATS-friendly.

Who created these resume samples?

Our resume samples are written with our builder and reviewed and edited by our team to ensure you get accurate examples of content that can help you land job interviews.

Do you have one-page resume templates?

All our resume templates are one page long. By editing our resume templates in our builder, you get built-in formatting tools that ensure all your information fits neatly into one page. These user-friendly adjusting tools also allow you to easily extend your resume beyond one page, all while sticking to recruiter-approved formatting criteria.
