Getting started with Sortiuza is easy! Simply navigate to our homepage and click on the "Create Resume" or "Start Building Your Resume" button.

Yes, Sortiuza is completely free to use! You can create, edit, and download your resume as a PDF without any cost. We believe everyone should have access to professional resume-building tools without financial barriers. There are no hidden fees, premium features, or paid subscriptions required.

No, you don't need to create an account to use Sortiuza. Our resume builder is designed to be accessible immediately without any registration requirements. However, creating an account (coming soon) will allow you to save your resumes and return to edit them later. This feature is optional but recommended if you plan to make updates to your resume in the future.

For most job seekers, a single-page resume is ideal, especially if you have less than 10 years of relevant experience. For those with extensive experience or for certain industries (like academia or senior executive positions), a two-page resume may be appropriate. Remember that recruiters typically spend only 6-7 seconds scanning a resume initially, so being concise and highlighting your most relevant qualifications is key.

A standard resume should include:

• Contact information (name, phone, email, location)
• Professional summary or objective statement
• Work experience (with achievements and responsibilities)
• Education
• Skills relevant to the job you're applying for

Depending on your field, you might also include certifications, projects, publications, or volunteer work. Remember to tailor your resume for each job application by emphasizing the most relevant experience and skills for that specific position.

Sortiuza's templates are designed to be ATS (Applicant Tracking System) friendly by default. To further optimize your resume:

• Use standard section headings (like "Experience" rather than "Career Journey")
• Include keywords from the job description
• Avoid using tables, images, headers, footers, or text boxes
• Use standard fonts and simple formatting
• Save your resume as a PDF or as specified in the job application

Our builder ensures your resume will be parsed correctly by ATS software while still looking professional and appealing to human recruiters.

Currently, Sortiuza offers a professionally designed template that focuses on clean presentation and ATS compatibility. While extensive customization options aren't available yet, our template is designed to showcase your qualifications effectively and make a positive impression on employers. We're working on adding more templates and customization options in future updates, so stay tuned!

To highlight achievements effectively on your resume:

• Use action verbs to begin descriptions (e.g., "Increased," "Developed," "Led")
• Quantify results with numbers where possible (e.g., "Increased sales by 20%")
• Focus on achievements rather than just listing responsibilities
• Include relevant metrics, awards, or recognition

In the experience section of our builder, be sure to include these achievement-focused bullet points in the description field for each position.

To download your resume, first fill out all the necessary sections in the resume builder. Then click the "Update Preview" button to make sure all your information appears correctly in the preview. Finally, click the "Download PDF" button to generate and download your resume as a PDF file. If the download feature is temporarily unavailable, you can take a screenshot of your resume from the preview section as an alternative method.

Currently, Sortiuza supports downloading your resume as a PDF (Portable Document Format) file. PDF is the recommended format for job applications as it preserves your formatting across all devices and is accepted by most application systems. We're working on adding additional export formats in future updates.

We're currently working on implementing a save feature that will allow you to save your resume and return to edit it later. In the meantime, we recommend completing your resume in one session. If you need to leave before finishing, you can download your partially completed resume as a PDF reference, but you'll need to re-enter the information when you return. Account functionality with resume saving capabilities will be available soon!

Yes, we take data security very seriously. Sortiuza operates entirely in your browser, which means your resume information is processed locally on your device and isn't sent to our servers unless you explicitly create an account (coming soon). We don't sell or share your personal information with third parties. For more details about how we handle your data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
