Nice Resume

Edit your resume and your cover letter, choose a nice template and save your work for the next time.

This is a Nuxt project bootstrapped with Nuxi.

See it live.

Why yet another tool?

Most of the available tools are either :

• institutional (they will not be able to serve all application purposes)
• dev-oriented (they will not be able to serve most domain applications)
• social networks (companies still expect an attachment in the applications, not just an online profile)
• needing payments (we believe this service should be free)
• needing registration (we believe this service should not)
• attached to a job marketplace
• not customizable enough (they will not help you stand out from other applicants)
• hard to properly customizable (they will not be able to prevent broken design and inconsistencies)
• needing too many actions (they will not access preview after several question answerings and form fillings)

So far, tools we believe are best out there are :

• Adecco CV
• Canva
• CV.fr
• Enhancv
• FlowCV
• Open Resume

...but they all fall into one of the points above. With Nice Resume, we try to provide a fast and easy, direct-preview, fully-customizable, template-helped, free and registrationless experience that will serve all kinds of applications.

Add a template

1. Add the name in the template union type in /types
2. Add the name in the templates array in /globals
3. Add the base settings in the templateBaseSettings object in /globals and override them in the templateSettings object

Make sure the above steps rely on the same template name.

Use a template

Templates offer an aside section on the left and a main section on the right that can be split into two columns. Select Aside, Full or Half to place content accordingly.

Some themes come from other tools:

• Elegant is the theme from JSON Resume by Mudassir Ali
• Kendall is the theme from JSON Resume by Adam Kendall
• Macchiato is the theme from JSON Resume by Alessandro Biondi
• OpenResume is the theme from OpenResume
• Paper is adapted from the One Page Plus theme from JSON Resume
