A New Tool for NAS Users: Create Personalized Resumes with Reactive-Resume to Boost Your Career Competitiveness

1. Introduction

A resume plays a crucial role in job hunting, applying for schools, or showcasing personal abilities.

Many working individuals may have experienced the frustration of working hard on a resume, only to be rejected by HR due to formatting or template issues.

So, how can you create a professional and appealing resume?

In today’s tutorial, I will help you build a service that allows you to easily create, update, and share your resume: Reactive-Resume.

Why do we need to build our own resume generator? There are two main reasons:

• It can meet your personalized resume needs, allowing you to freely adjust layouts, choose colors and templates, and even create resumes with dark mode.

• No ads, no user tracking, ensuring the integrity and privacy of your data to the greatest extent.

2. Reactive-Resume: Your Personalized Resume Generator

Reactive-Resume is an open-source online resume generator with the following main features:

• Free: Reactive-Resume is always free, with no ads or user tracking.
• Real-time Sync: You can sync your data across different devices without worrying about data loss.
• Data Import: You can import data from LinkedIn or JSON resumes, greatly simplifying the resume creation process.
• Resume Management: With just one account, you can manage multiple resumes.
• Share Resumes: You can share your resume with others through a unique link or export it as a PDF.
• Customize Resumes: You can choose any font from Google Fonts and select various templates and colors, including dark mode.

Reactive-Resume is a powerful and user-friendly tool that makes resume creation, updating, and sharing simple and easy.

Now let’s move on to the steps to build it:
