FAQ
What is a resume builder?
A resume builder generates a resume in less time than writing a resume yourself. LiveCareer’s Resume Builder utilizes your desired job title and years of experience to suggest personalized content for all your resume sections to save you time.
What is the best resume builder?
Here at LiveCareer, we’re confident we’ve built the best Resume Builder online. It offers helpful features, such as professionally written content suggestions, high-quality templates, unlimited cloud storage and even an option to create a cover letter from your resume text with our Cover Letter Builder.
Should I use a resume template? Can I create my own resume template?
Yes. Using a resume template allows you to organize your resume’s content quickly. A resume template also shows you possess attractive professional characteristics:
- Attention to detail
- An eye for aesthetics.
- Putting in that extra effort to make things look professional.
What is the best resume template?
A good resume template should always include five sections: contact information, resume summary or objective statement, work experience, skills and education.
However, the best resume template allows you to customize additional sections without ruining the formatting, a key characteristic of our professional resume templates.
How long should a resume be?
Most recruiters recommend a one-page resume length. A one-page resume is much easier and quicker to read and share with colleagues. However, in recent years, recruiters have become more flexible with page length in favor of resumes that genuinely capture a candidate’s qualifications.
Can a resume be longer than a page?
Yes, for resume length, one page is suggested for every 10 years of work experience.
You may also consider whether you need a CV. You can check out our article on how to write a CV or use our CV Builder to make one for you.
How far back should a resume go?
Your resume should go back 10 to 15 years. There’s no need to include every job you’ve ever had on your resume.
The experience you should include in your resume will depend on your desired job and situation. Only feature relevant roles and experience!
How to add multiple pages to a resume?
Our free Resume Builder automatically adds as many pages as needed. It works like a fill-in form: You type in your information, and it takes care of resume formatting.
You’ll preview your resume as you go through each step, and once you finalize all the sections, you can see how many pages it is.
Should I customize my resume for each job?
Absolutely. You should customize your resume for each job for the best chance of getting an interview callback. A one-size-fits-all resume is risky and may backfire. By customizing your resume for each job, you ensure that you highlight the skills and experiences the employer needs for that particular role.
How much does a resume builder cost? Is this resume builder free?
Our Builder is free to use, and you can even download your resume for free as a TXT file. We’re so confident that our free Resume Builder is a handy tool for a wide range of applicants that you can log in with your email and utilize all the tools without restriction.
Only when you’re entirely convinced in our Builder and choose to download the resume will you have to pay a fee for unlimited access to our Builder, premium resume templates and cloud storage.

Can I use the same template for my resume and cover letter?
Yes. When you use our Resume Builder and Cover Letter Builder, you can access 15 template bundles to help match your resume and cover letter. Using the same template style for both documents helps impress employers. Head to our cover letter templates library to see the matching template bundles.
What is the best resume format to use in 2024?
Chronological resumes are the most commonly used resume format. Recruiters prefer them, and they are ideal for showcasing long and consistent careers.
Combination resumes balance work experience and skills, making them ideal for mid-level applicants.
Functional resumes benefit inexperienced job seekers since they focus on skills instead of work experience.
I have little to no experience in the workforce. Will your resume builder help me?
Absolutely! Our builder will help whether you’re new to the workforce or an industry veteran.
Its first prompt asks, “How long have you been working?” This helps generate text suggestions that fit your experience level. Even if you lack extensive experience, we recommend skills that target the job!
I've finished my resume and need to download, print or email it. How do I do this?
When you reach the “Finalize” screen, you will see a “Download” option.
Most jobs request a PDF version of your resume. However, whichever format you need — a Word doc or plain text file –– our builder gives you the option.
Once downloaded, you can share it with employers!
I can't finish my resume right now. Can I save it and come back?
Yes! Your progress saves when you click the “Next” button on each section of the resume editor.
So, remember to do that before you exit the screen, and all your edits will be saved.
Then, you can return to access your resume and share as many copies as needed later.
