Your starting point
Start a new resume, or improve the one you already have
You do not need the same workflow every time. Start from a blank structure when you are building your first resume, or use your current resume as a reference and rebuild the sections that need work.
Starting from scratch
Build my first resume
Add your education, projects, experience and skills step by step. Use a clear template so you can focus on the content first.
Start a new resumeAlready have a resume
Improve my current resume
Bring over the facts from your existing resume, compare them with the target job, and rewrite only the sections that need clearer evidence or stronger wording.

ATS resume checker
Check your ATS-friendly resume before you apply
Use the ATS resume checker to review your draft, then fix the issues that actually matter for the role. Read the feedback, make the relevant change and check the revised version again.
A score does not tell you whether an employer will shortlist you. Look at the issue behind the number.
Basic score: free plan. Full analysis: paid plans.
Illustrative findings
ExampleShow where you used SQL
You list SQL as a skill. Add a relevant project example if it reflects your actual work.
Check the internship dates
Include the start and end dates you can confirm.
Make the reporting task specific
Replace “worked on reports” with the task you completed and the tools you used.
ATS-friendly resume basics
What makes a resume ATS-friendly?
An applicant tracking system can extract details from your resume into application fields. Clear text and familiar headings reduce avoidable reading problems. Always check the employer’s file instructions.
Readable text
Keep important details in text, not inside an image.
Clear sections
Use headings such as Experience, Education and Skills.
Relevant wording
Explain the skills you have in the context of your work.
A final file check
Review the exported file and any application fields filled from it.
Example reading order
Name and contact detailsExperienceEducationSkills
Adapt the order to your experience; this is a structure, not a universal ATS certification.
ATS score breakdown
Do not just show a score. Show what to fix next.
An ATS resume checker is more useful when you can see why the score changed. Every score should come with a concrete next action.
Illustrative score example, not a live analysis
Add evidence for SQL
SQL appears under Skills, but there is no project or experience example showing where you used it.
Make the internship dates consistent
Use one date format throughout the resume so the timeline is easier to read.
Replace a vague responsibility
Change “worked on reports” to the report, tool and task you actually handled.
Check the target job keywords
Compare the job description with your resume and add missing terms only when they match your experience.
AI resume writer
Turn rough experience into clearer resume bullet points
Give the AI resume writer useful facts, then review the suggestion and make sure the wording still describes what you actually did.
I built a college library project in Java and MySQL. I added book search and features to issue and return books.
“Worked on a library project.”
“Built a Java and MySQL library project with book search, issue and return features.”
Why it is better: the revised bullet names the tools and explains your contribution. It adds no invented users, grades or results.
Resume examples by role
See what a strong resume can look like for the job you want
Do not copy someone else’s career history. Use role examples to understand which sections, skills and proof are usually worth bringing forward.
Analytics
Data Analyst
Show SQL, Excel, dashboards, data cleaning and the decisions your analysis supported.
Technology
Software Engineer
Lead with shipped projects, technical stack, ownership and measurable product or system impact.
Marketing
Digital Marketing
Connect channels, campaigns and tools to traffic, leads, conversion or revenue you can support.
Sales
Sales
Prioritise targets, pipeline ownership, client work and verified results rather than generic responsibilities.
People
Human Resources
Show hiring, employee support, HR systems, policy work and the scale of the processes you handled.
First job
Fresher / Graduate
Use projects, internships, coursework and volunteering to prove skills before you have long work experience.
Job-description matching
Make the connection to the job clear
Read the job description beside your resume. When you have relevant experience, explain where it appears in your work or projects.
A missing keyword can mean you left out a useful detail. It can also mean the role asks for something you have not learned yet. Check which applies before changing your skills list.
Only add skills you can explain in an interview.

Career stage
Work with the experience you have
Your first job application and your next career move need different details. Start with the experience that matters to the role.
Students and freshers
Use a project, internship or volunteer task to explain a skill. Add the tools you used and the part you handled. Paid work is not your only source of evidence.
Start with what you have done
Working professionals
Start with your recent work. Give useful detail about your responsibilities and the outcomes you can support. Remove tasks that tell the reader little about the role you want.

Cover letter builder
Make your resume and cover letter tell the same story

Start with the job description, choose one or two strong examples from your resume, then write a letter that connects those examples to the role.
Build my cover letterIllustrative cover-letter setup
- Target role
- Junior Data Analyst
- Relevant experience
- Excel reporting internship + SQL college project
- Reason for applying
- Interested in turning reporting work into deeper analytics
Suggested opening
“I am applying for the Junior Data Analyst role because it builds on the reporting work I handled during my internship and the SQL analysis I completed in a college project.”
Matching application
Keep your resume and cover letter consistent
A strong application should not tell two different stories. Use the same target role, experience and skills across both documents, then let the cover letter add the motivation and context your resume does not have room for.
Resume
Evidence first
Experience, projects, skills and outcomes.
Cover letter
Why this role
Motivation plus one or two examples from the resume.

FAQs
AI resume builder and ATS checker FAQs
Clear answers about plans, ATS scores, AI writing and your data.
Is Walkin24 a free AI resume builder?
Walkin24’s published free plan includes one resume and a basic ATS resume score. Paid plans add full ATS analysis, job-description matching and AI resume improvements. Check the current plan details before you start.
What makes an ATS-friendly resume?
An ATS-friendly resume uses clear sections, readable text and relevant details so recruitment software can extract the information more reliably. Use familiar headings, keep contact information in the main document and follow the employer’s upload instructions.
What should an ATS-compliant resume maker help me do?
Look for readable layouts and content you can edit. Check the file you download and any fields the employer’s application form fills from it. Treat an ATS-compliant label as a design aim, not a guarantee that every employer will accept the file.
Does a high ATS score guarantee an interview?
No. Treat the score as feedback on your draft. It does not represent an employer’s shortlist or promise an interview. Read each recommendation and check whether it fits the job.
Can I build a resume without work experience?
Yes. Use relevant education, projects, internships or volunteering. Explain what you did yourself. Avoid adding experience just to make the page look full. Walkin24 accounts are for people aged 18 and above.
Will the AI write my entire resume?
Start with your own facts. Use the writing suggestions to review wording, then check every statement. Delete any qualification, responsibility or result that does not describe your experience.
Should I add every keyword from the job description?
No. Include skills you actually have and explain where you used them. A missing skill may be something to learn, not something to add to your resume.
Can I use Walkin24 as a resume builder online?
Yes. You can build and edit your resume online, choose a template and review the feedback available on your plan. Always check the final exported file before you submit an application.
Can I download my resume as a PDF?
Walkin24 offers PDF export. Check your plan’s download access, then review the exported file before applying. Follow a different file requirement when an employer specifies one.
Can I make more than one resume?
The free plan includes one resume. Paid plans offer higher resume limits. Check the current plan allowance before creating versions for different roles.
What happens to my resume data?
The Privacy Policy says Walkin24 retains resumes and job descriptions until you delete them or close your account. It also says Walkin24 does not sell personal data or use your content to train AI models. Read the policy for processing and deletion details.
