Has anyone here actually landed interviews after using a resume builder? I’ve been applying with my standard Word doc resume and getting nowhere. Thinking about trying out a builder like Zety or Novoresume to see if a more polished layout makes a difference. Did using one help you stand out? Would love to hear what worked (or didn’t) for others.

Yes! I used Novoresume and started getting hits almost immediately. I think the clean design helped, but what really made the difference was how it guided me to reframe my bullet points for impact. It forced me to be more concise and accomplishment-focused. Totally worth trying if your current format feels a bit flat.

Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
