Frequently asked
What is an ATS-ready resume?
An ATS-ready resume is one formatted so applicant tracking systems (the software that reviews resumes before a human does) can read every section correctly. In practice, that's a single-column layout, a standard font, real text instead of images, and clear section headers. Zelume's 15 templates are built for the platforms recruiters use day to day: Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Taleo, and BambooHR.
Is Zelume really free to build and download a resume?
Yes, Zelume is free to build and download a resume. You can create unlimited resumes on the free tier, switch templates with one click, and export to PDF or Word without paying. Paid plans only raise your AI usage limits. Building, editing, and downloading are always free.
How do I import my existing resume into Zelume?
You can import an existing resume into Zelume by uploading a PDF or DOCX file. We pull your contact info, work history, education, and skills into the editor so you can refine the content without retyping. Imported resumes land on whichever of the 15 ATS-safe templates you pick.
How many resume templates does Zelume have?
Zelume has 15 resume templates across modern, classic, minimal, sidebar, banner, and split layouts. Every template is ATS-safe, and switching between them is a single click. Your content transfers over instantly, so you can try a few without losing anything.
Do I need to know how to write strong resume bullet points?
No, you don't need to know how to write strong resume bullet points to use Zelume. Type a rough description of what you did and our AI bullet writer rewrites it using action verbs, quantified results, and the keywords ATS systems look for. Accept, edit, or regenerate each suggestion until the bullet sounds like you.
What is the best resume template for a student?
The best resume template for a student depends on how much experience you're working with. If you're early in your career with limited work history, a minimal or classic template puts education and skills up top. If you have internships or side projects to showcase, a sidebar or split template fits more content without crowding. Every Zelume template is ATS-safe regardless of layout, so pick the one that makes your strongest material look best.
How much does Zelume cost?
Zelume is free to build, edit, and download resumes, no credit card required. If you hit the free-tier AI generation limit, Student pricing is $4.99/month (verified with a .edu email) and Pro is $9.99/month. Paid plans unlock unlimited AI generations, per-job resume tailoring, cover letter generation, and higher export quotas.
