The Resume Creation Process

Creating a resume with Revamaze follows a simple, intuitive flow designed to help you build a personalized, professional resume with minimal effort. Here's a walkthrough of our step-by-step process.

Starting Your Resume

To begin creating your resume:

  1. From any page, click the Create Resume button in the navigation bar or on the homepage
  2. This will take you to our resume creation stepper process

You can save your progress at any point during the resume creation process. If you need to step away, your work will be waiting for you when you return.

Step 1: Enter Your Basic Information

The first step is providing your basic personal information:

  • Full name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Current location (city/state)
  • Professional title

This information will appear in the header section of your resume and makes it easy for employers to contact you.

While most of these fields are standard, you can customize what appears on your final resume later in the process.

Step 2: Tailor Your Resume with AI

Our AI-powered customization step helps you create a targeted resume:

  1. Enter either:

    • A job title you're applying for
    • A full job description (copy and paste from a job listing)
    • A URL to a job posting
  2. Click Generate Content to let our AI analyze the position

  3. Our system will:

    • Identify key skills and requirements
    • Suggest relevant experience points
    • Recommend appropriate keywords for ATS optimization

While our AI provides excellent suggestions, always review and personalize the content to accurately reflect your experience and abilities.

When adding work experience, use bullet points that start with strong action verbs and include measurable achievements. Our AI assistant can help you phrase these effectively.
