Professional Resume Builder by Bold Margin
$7.97 USD
Instant download by email · One-time payment · No subscription
Bold Margin builds a clean, ATS-safe resume in minutes. Pick your field and a full draft is written for you — you add your name, your employers and your dates. The tool handles the layout, the spacing and the fit.
What it does
- Twelve single-column designs across Corporate, Tech, Creative, Healthcare & Education, Academic, and Trades & Service
- Optional photo — add a headshot to your resume, then zoom and position it (shown in the preview images: The Boardroom and The Partner). Most US, UK and Canadian employers prefer no photo, so it stays off unless you add one
- Live preview — type on the left, watch the page rebuild on the right
- ATS check that scores your resume out of 100 and flags what to fix
- Match a job posting — see which of its keywords are missing from your resume
- Export as PDF to send, or Word to keep editing for each role
- Letter (US) and A4 paper sizes
- Runs in your browser — nothing to install, no account
Why single-column matters
Applicant tracking systems read plain, single-column layouts most reliably. Two-column templates with sidebars and text boxes often scramble before a human ever sees them. Every Bold Margin design is built to be parsed correctly and still look considered.
What you get
An instant download of the Bold Margin builder, plus a five-page getting-started and troubleshooting guide with your unlock code on page one.
Free bonus pack, included with every order:
- A matching cover letter template for Microsoft Word, in US Letter and A4
- 180 action verbs in 12 categories, plus a cover letter checklist (PDF)
Your draft saves automatically in your own browser as you work. Works best on a laptop or desktop.
Built for: job seekers, career changers, and anyone who needs a resume that reads well in both a parser and a hiring manager's inbox.
How do I get it?
Your download link arrives by email right after payment. Open Bold Margin in your web browser and unlock the download at the last step with the code on page 1 of your guide.
Is it ATS-safe?
All twelve designs use a single-column layout built to be read reliably by applicant tracking systems. The built-in ATS check shows what to fix before you apply.
How many resumes can I make?
As many as you like for yourself, in PDF or Word, with no subscription.
Refunds
All sales are final because the file is delivered instantly. We refund in full for a double charge, a download that never arrives, or a file that will not open and cannot be replaced. Full refund policy.
Know your ATS score before you apply
Many employers screen applications with software before a person reads them. The built-in check scores your resume out of 100 and shows exactly what to fix: missing contact details, sample text left behind, lines without numbers or action verbs.
Paste a job posting and it lists the keywords your resume is missing.
Real score from the built-in check on a completed sample resume.
