Preview Your Resume: As you fill in each section, you’ll see the preview updating in real-time. This helps you ensure that your resume looks exactly the way you want it to before downloading.
Download Your Resume: Once you're satisfied with your resume, simply choose your preferred format (PDF or DOCX) and download it with a single click.
