Step 1: Personal Information

Free online resume builder: create a professional resume and cover letter instantly

Writing a resume from scratch is time-consuming and intimidating. The AlteredIdea Resume Builder walks you through a five-step form: personal info, experience, education, skills, and generation: and produces a cleanly formatted plain-text resume alongside a matching cover letter in seconds. Everything runs in your browser: no sign-up, no API key, no data sent to any server.

The plain-text output is intentionally portable. Paste it directly into LinkedIn's Easy Apply, copy it into a Word template for custom formatting, or paste it into Google Docs and apply a professional theme. The cover letter template references your job title, summarises your experience and skills, and addresses the company you specify: giving you a solid first draft to personalise.

Step-by-step guide

  1. 1
    Enter your personal information
    Fill in your name, contact details, LinkedIn URL, target job title, and a professional summary. These appear at the top of your resume and introduce you to the hiring manager.
  2. 2
    Add your work experience
    Add up to 5 work experience entries. For each role, enter the company name, your job title, the dates you worked there, and up to 3 bullet points describing your key accomplishments.
  3. 3
    Add your education
    Enter up to 3 educational qualifications: degree name, institution, graduation year, and optionally your GPA.
  4. 4
    Add your skills
    Type your skills separated by commas. The tool will render them as individual tags in the Skills section of your resume.
  5. 5
    Generate resume and cover letter
    On the final step, optionally enter the target company name for your cover letter, then click Generate. Your formatted resume and a matching cover letter are produced instantly: copy or download either as a .txt file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the resume builder use AI or an API?
No. All generation is template-based and runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript string interpolation. No data is sent to any server, and no API key is required.
What format is the output?
The resume is generated as plain text with clear section headers and spacing. It is designed for easy copying into a Word document, Google Doc, or any text editor for further formatting.
Can I download the resume?
Yes. Each output tab has a Download .txt button that saves the content as a plain text file directly from your browser.
How is the cover letter generated?
The cover letter template uses your name, job title, professional summary, top experience bullet points, and skills to construct a three-paragraph letter: an opening referencing the target job, a body showcasing experience and skills, and a closing paragraph.
Can I edit the output after generating?
The output areas are read-only display panels for easy review. Copy the content to a text editor like Notepad or Google Docs to make further edits.
Is my data saved anywhere?
No. All data exists only in your browser's memory while the page is open. Closing or refreshing the page clears everything: nothing is stored on any server.
