I hate making resumes so much that I made a resume builder, and it was a blast.

Hello everyone, this is Kei.

How do you make your resume when you are looking for a new job?

I think it's important to have a good resume design, so every time I change jobs, I have to redesign my resume, but it's a lot of work.

There are services that can create resumes for you, but it's hard to find a service that is suitable for me because, design-wise, they are either not suitable for the culture of the country or too classic.

Even if you want to modify an existing template a little, you have to learn how the template works from scratch, which is not easy.

So, I thought it would be nice if I could use a template that is super simple to manage resumes and easily customizable, and since I had some free time during New Year's, I made one myself from scratch.

This is what I made.

About Features

The functions available are all basic: creating the basic information needed for a resume. Saving. Loading.

One of the unique features is that as long as you load a theme that is compatible with resume builder by URL, you can use that theme immediately.

Each theme can use its own attribute values, and if the values corresponding to the theme are set in the custom attributes, the values will be automatically applied when the theme is changed.

The information entered in the biography can be saved, so there is no need to enter custom attributes for each theme again as long as the data is loaded from the next time onward.

Incidentally, the background data is saved in JSON format, so it will be more convenient if you save it in github or other file system.

About Themes

Themes can be applied by entering a URL in the input form or selecting one from the dropdown.

Currently, only one theme is available since this application itself was created during the New Year's holiday, but the theme repository is open to the public, so we would be happy if anyone who thinks he/she is the one to create a theme would open it to the public.

I am also planning to create a theme when I can take the time.

Have a great job search, everyone!
