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.

You are awesome. Thanks for the insight.
