Represent – A Modern Resume Builder

ss-represent
It’s hard to put your best foot forward when you’re still using outdated tools to create a professional resume. Represent considers itself the modern alternative to traditional solutions like Microsoft Word. Using the web-based application, job seekers can quickly craft professional-looking resumes that reflect their unique personalities.

Before you can start designing a stylish resume with Represent, you need to enter the personal information you’d like your resume to include. Manually type basic details like your name, current occupation, location, and a brief bio into the Represent platform. You can also add a personal photo, if you’d like. After you’ve completed the data entry process—making sure to including information about your education, work experience, and relevant skills, as well—you can begin the design process. Represent lets you choose from multiple designs and colors, and it ensures that the resume you create will work on all digital devices, including smartphones and tablets.

Share your resume with potential employers via email, or post it on Twitter and Facebook for the world to see. Represent’s built-in analytics tools can show how many times your resume has been clicked on and viewed. You can also export your resume as a PDF for printing.
