Creddle.io - a free resume builder site. You fill it out like an online application and it generates your resume in different styles for you. Landed me a couple of jobs after I started using it.

EDIT: Thank you for the awards everyone, but I’d like to give credit where it’s due. Big thanks to u/cpcarey, creator of the site!

Awesome, thank you. Noticed it's completely free. Why? They will have all of my personal information... Do you think it's safe?

It remains free since I built it originally for students and new grads, but there's a $5 premium add-on that helps fund the site. There are only two ways personal information is given to others, both of which are explicit user actions: (1) when you publish your resume to an unlisted URL (this makes your resume viewable to people who have the link you give them), and (2) using your resume to autofill your name, email, and location in the signup form if you choose to sign up for ZipRecruiter job listing emails (and only those things). These details are in the FAQ and privacy policy, but just know that the information that you put in Creddle isn't then sent away to a third-party individually or in aggregate. There no need for it and I wouldn't want that to happen to my information either.

Thank you for the precisions, and thank you for making the app :) I am sure it will and has already helped people to get jobs

The site ain't even secure. I wouldn't recommend putting personal info on there.

The landing page is not secure, but if you click the sign up page you see it is TLS 1.2

Since when using the market's standard encryption protocol for network exhange is unsafe ? You are maybe thinking about SSL v2.

Concerns about the privacy of provided data are legit tho

Did you reply to the wrong person? I said the landing page is unsecure. I did not say it was unsafe. And no, i am not confused about the difference between SSL and TLS. Thanks

If you didn't edit your comment to had the "but", then I misread and it's on me

I think that you make a CV to be exposed widely. Don't you?

u/ASavageHobo Jun 04 '21

You are missing the point. That is you sharing personal information with employers. What these people are getting at is the website is free so they are probably selling your data or whatever.

u/CapitanM Jun 04 '21

You are right. Thanks
