Resume tools should be free.
Career data should be real.

Most resume sites charge you $15 to download a PDF you built yourself. The ones that don't plaster your resume with watermarks until you pay up. And none of them tell you what skills actually matter for your role, or what salary to expect.

We built ResumeIO to fix that. Every template on this site is free to use and free to download. Every salary figure comes from verified government records. Every skill recommendation is backed by occupational research — not guesswork.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick your role

    Browse 120 templates across 10 career categories. Each one is tailored to a specific job title — not a generic "professional" template that could be for anyone.

  2. 2

    See the data

    Every template page shows the median salary for that role, projected job growth, the skills employers are actually hiring for, and what top companies pay.

  3. 3

    Build and download

    Use the template as a starting point. Add the skills that match your experience. Print or save as PDF. No account required. No watermarks. No credit card.

Where the data comes from

We don't make up numbers. Every data point on this site traces back to a primary government source:

Salary and employment data

National median salaries, total employment counts, job growth projections, and education requirements. Updated annually from the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey and Employment Projections program.

Skills and knowledge data

Technical skills, occupational competencies, and knowledge area rankings for each role. Sourced from the O*NET occupational database maintained by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Company salary data

Per-company, per-role salary figures derived from employer disclosure records filed with the U.S. Department of Labor. Covers base salary only — equity and bonuses are not included.

Why is it free?

We believe charging people $15 to download their own resume is predatory. The core tools — templates, salary data, skills guides — will always be free.

Down the road, we plan to offer optional premium features like personalized salary benchmarking, skill gap analysis, and career trajectory modeling. The free tier won't get worse to push you toward the paid tier. We'd rather earn your trust first.
