Frequently asked questions

What is a resume headline?
A resume headline is a single line under your name that states your role and focus, like “Senior Data Analyst specializing in retail forecasting”. It tells a recruiter what you are in one glance, before they read the summary. It is optional but useful on a competitive resume.
How long should a headline be?
Keep it to one line, ideally under about ten words. A headline is a label, not a sentence. The options here stay short on purpose, so the recruiter reads it instantly and moves to your summary.
Is it really free, and is there a watermark?
It is free with no sign-up, no email wall and no paid tier. The PDF you download is clean, with no watermark and no branding added. There is no point where you are asked to pay to unlock the file.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. What you type is kept on your own device, nothing is uploaded, and nothing is logged or stored. Close the tab and your details go with it, unless you save them yourself.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, everything runs from your own browser. You can disconnect from the internet and the tool keeps working, because none of it depends on a server. Reconnecting changes nothing about how your details are handled.
