I Need A Resume
This service is similar to Pimp My Resume in that it doesn’t require registration, but it goes a step further: there’s actually no account to sign up for. You just use I Need A Resume to craft a neat, professional-looking resume, then you export it to PDF (or print it on paper) and continue on your merry way. Creating a resume is straightforward – you just edit each section (Statement, Work, Projects, Education, Skills…) and click onto the next one once you’re done. You can add up to three jobs and projects into their respective sections. Finally, before exporting or printing your new resume, you can adjust text formatting options such as the font and text alignment. If all web apps and services were as user-friendly as I Need A Resume, the Web would be a much better place.

Each section has its own settings dialog where you can further tweak its appearance. You don’t have to include all sections in your resume, and you’re free to reorder them by drag-and-dropping their names in the sidebar. Creddle lets you export the finished resume into DOCX or PDF, as well as embed it in HTML and share it on social media. You can publish your resumes as private or public, and send them to your friends to get feedback. Creddle is a great choice if you really care about the design of your resume.

Re.vu
Re.vu helps you turn your resume into an infographic. You start by creating an account and choose the username wisely. You can import data from LinkedIn or type it all yourself.

Re.vu can also host samples of your work, which you can attach to your page. You’re free to add links to your social media profiles, websites, and blogs. The main part of your Re.vu profile is the Infographics section, where you’ll be able to choose the type of data you want to feature on your page. Re.vu is perfect for creative people, but anyone who’s tired of the classic resume format will appreciate it.

Standard Resume
Standard Resume is a no-frills resume service. To make your Standard Resume page, you’ll have to create an account. You won’t find dozens of customization options and complex setting dialogs here. The biggest visual change you’re able to control is picking the color of your monogram. Your resume can be saved as either public or private, and you can enable the “Download as PDF” option, so that the visitors – recruiters and potential employers – can save a copy. Standard Resume is similar to Resume.io, but it looks more modern, and it’s optimized for mobile screens.

Resume.com
Resume.com has an interesting approach to creating your first resume. You’re prompted to choose a template and follow a step-by-step guide that lets you edit each section of your future resume. Creating a resume automatically creates a profile, which is not a bad thing, but it can be confusing. Now that you have a profile, you can import data from your LinkedIn profile, make your resume(s) downloadable, share them on social media, and download them in plain-text format. The Premium version will let you use various themes and fonts, and you’ll be able to export your resume to DOC and PDF.

In the free version, you can only use two themes, and there aren’t any resume export options. To get more themes, access to charts and graphs, and the ability to share your resume as a PDF, DOCX, and Google Docs file, you’ll have to upgrade to the Pro plan.
Price: Free, Pro ($6 per month)
