    I am building more templates right now. The current template was built with one of the users from applicantio and he uses that template. What does a good resume look like to you?

    That's not nice. It's a little basic but you got to start somewhere. Quit being a dick. OP, I'd recommend taking a look at this one (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14058815 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14058815) and see if you can use some of it for your needs.

      If someone is going to make a resume generator and post it to HN, then they need to do at least some minimal basic homework first to understand what a good looking resume might look like. I'm sorry, that's just the way it is.

        You could start by linking what you think is a good resume. There's a lot of different ways to make a resume, this is just one and im adding more templates as we speak. You think this template is bad, thats fair. But i have other users that like this template. Everyone has their own opinions.

    I've hired plenty of people. That resume format wouldn't offend me. It's not the greatest looking in the world, but it would work. I would like to see a live sample, though, to see if the whitespace holds or not once it's fully loaded with text.

Looks good. Very clean design. It took me a couple of seconds to see the menu at the top of the builder though (about, contact, experience, etc)

Minimalism, as I like it.
