Resume builder here

I got laid off recently and got so fed up with resume builders charging money after you've already spent quite a while filling everything out that I just built my own as a side project. You don’t need to sign up and the resume you make lives in your local browser. But you can make a free account to keep track of different versions!

As an engineer I keep multiple versions for different roles like MLE and SWE, so I wanted something free that actually worked. The template on here is the same one I've been using since undergrad that landed me interviews at FAANG, quant firms, and startups. You don’t need an account to use it and there are no ads or watermarks. You are able to switch between templates, change fonts/sizing, and rearrange sections easily.

Open to feedback and suggestions! I’m not familiar with marketing/design resumes but if anyone has suggestions for new templates, feel free to let me know and I’ll add them to the site if I have time!

I got laid off recently but I’ve been applying since earlier this year. My resume keeps getting auto-rejected and I have 2 years of experience so I don't qualify for new grad roles. But I keep getting filtered out for mid level positions too. I feel like I'm stuck in the middle. I’d love some brutally honest feedback on whether my experience is being communicated clearly and if I'm targeting the right roles.

Also since I have a ton of free time on my hands I made a free resume builder because I got so fed up with resume builders charging money just to download your own resume. You don't need to sign up or create an account because everything saves directly to your local browser storage so nothing ever leaves your device. There are no watermarks, no ads, and no checkout screen at the end, just download your resume as a free ATS friendly PDF whenever you're ready. This resume was made with it! Here is the resume builder :)

I got laid off recently but Ive been applying for jobs since the beginning of this year. My resume gets rejected almost immediately at most places, and the times I do get through to interviews at small startups, I end up getting ghosted after completing their take homes. So they basically got free work out of me and couldn't even send a rejection email.

I've been tracking everything and the pattern is pretty clear but I can't figure out what's actually broken.

Two things I'm genuinely unsure about:

  1. Am I applying to jobs way out of my level? I've been applying broadly because the market is rough but maybe I'm wasting time on roles I'm not qualified for.
  2. Do I need completely different resume versions for different positions like ML vs general SWE? Right now I'm using mostly the same base resume with minor tweaks.

Attaching my resume and application stats. Would love brutal honest feedback because at this point I genuinely don't know what's not working. Thanks!
