How MakeResume creates, reviews, and updates the resume and career advice you read here — who writes it, how we check it, how we use AI, and how to flag a mistake.
MakeResume publishes resume, cover letter, ATS, and job-search guidance to help candidates apply with confidence. Every guide starts from a clear reader question — for example, how to pass an applicant tracking system or how to write a resume with no experience — and is structured to answer it directly, with concrete examples and steps rather than filler.
Guides are written or edited by people, informed by current hiring practices, recruiter expectations, and how modern applicant tracking systems actually parse resumes. We prioritize practical, testable advice you can apply and verify in our free tools.
Our content comes from two clearly labeled sources. Named individual writers — such as our contributing career writers — publish under their own byline with a profile page. Everything else is published by the MakeResume Editorial Team through topic-focused editorial desks (for example, our ATS and student-resume desks), which represent our in-house editorial team rather than a single individual.
We label these desks honestly: an editorial-desk byline is a team designation, not a claim about one person's résumé. You can browse everyone who contributes on our authors page.
We aim to be accurate and current. Advice reflects widely accepted hiring and resume-writing practices, and we test formatting and ATS guidance against our own resume checker and ATS checker before recommending it. Where practices vary by region, role, or seniority, we say so instead of implying a single universal rule.
We do not copy other publishers, and we do not present unverified claims as fact. When we cite statistics or third-party research, we describe them plainly so you can judge their relevance.
MakeResume is an AI-assisted product, and we use AI in our own workflow the same way we recommend readers use it: as a drafting and research aid, never as an unchecked final author. AI-assisted drafts are reviewed and edited by our team for accuracy, clarity, and usefulness before publication. We are transparent that AI is part of how modern content and resumes get made — the value we add is judgment, structure, and verification on top of it.
Hiring practices change, so we review and update key guides over time. Articles show a published date and, where relevant, a last-updated date so you can see how current the advice is.
If you spot an error or something that has gone out of date, tell us and we will review it. We correct genuine mistakes rather than quietly removing them.
MakeResume is a resume-building product. You can build and preview resumes for free; paid plans unlock premium templates, unlimited exports, and additional AI features, with payments handled by our merchant of record. Our editorial guidance is written to be genuinely useful first — advice does not change based on whether a reader upgrades, and we tell you when a free tool already solves the problem.
