Standard Resume

Standard Resume is a web-based resume builder designed specifically to create resumes that hiring managers love to read. The platform stands out from competitors by focusing on functionality over flashy design, ensuring your resume gets past both applicant tracking systems and human reviewers.

The tool was founded in 2020 by Riley Tomasek, Sari Maani, and Sinan Maani, who struggled with creating their own resumes and decided to solve the problem for everyone. They collaborate directly with hiring professionals to ensure their templates meet current industry standards and expectations.

What makes Standard Resume unique is its one-click LinkedIn import feature, which saves hours of copying and pasting work history and education details. The platform offers both free and paid versions, with the free version allowing unlimited resume editing and web sharing, while the Pro version adds advanced features like AI resume reviews, custom branding removal, and detailed analytics.

Getting started with Standard Resume is straightforward and user-friendly. First, visit their website and create a free account - no credit card required for basic features. The platform offers a clean, intuitive interface that guides you through each step.
