Refactoring Your Resume

I’m much better at structuring data than I am at designing layouts. These are the tools I used to fix my developer resume.

1. Resume Builders

• FlowCV: My personal favorite. It’s free, modern, and very hard to "break" the layout.
• Standard Resume: If you want a minimalist, high-readability layout that looks professional without the fluff.
• Kickresume: Good if you need a little more help with phrasing, as it has AI and pre-written examples.
• Enhancv: Best for those wanting a slightly more "visual" or colorful resume.

1. Optimization & Feedback

• Jobscan: I used this to compare my resume against specific job descriptions. It tells you exactly which keywords you're missing.
• Resume Worded: This gives you a "score" for your LinkedIn profile and resume structure, highlighting areas for improvement.
• Offboard.co: A great directory of even more job-seeker tools if you want to go deeper.

1. Personal Hub Pages (Link-in-Bio)

• Carrd: The gold standard for simple, one-page personal sites.
• Tiles.bio: A beautiful, clean alternative for a minimalist bio page.
• Linktree: The classic choice for housing all your links (GitHub, LinkedIn, Blog) in one spot.
