Introduction

Did you know? On average, a recruiter spends only 7 seconds reviewing a resume. You need speed AND quality. ResumeGyani's AI builder is engineered to solve exactly this: giving you a professional, ATS-proof resume in under 10 minutes.

Step 1: Pick a Recruiter-Approved Template

Don't waste hours fighting with Word margins. Choose from our 15+ Verified Templates designed by HR experts. Whether you need a 'Modern Tech' look or a 'Corporate Classic' vibe, our templates are pre-structured for readability.

Why it matters: A cluttered layout is the #1 reason resumes get rejected before they are even read.

Why 10 Minutes is Enough (The Reality Check)

You might think '10 minutes for a resume? Impossible!' But here's the thing: most resume creation time is wasted on design, not content. Traditional methods spend 2+ hours just fighting with Word formatting.

❌ Traditional Method (4-6 hours)

  • • Formatting in Word: 2 hours
  • • Fighting margins/spacing: 1 hour
  • • Writing from scratch: 2 hours
  • • Trial & error design: 1 hour

✅ ResumeGyani Method (10 min)

  • • Choose template: 1 min
  • • Fill basic info: 3 min
  • • AI-suggested content: 4 min
  • • ATS check & download: 2 min

💡 Pro Insight:

'The key is having your career information organized beforehand. With ResumeGyani, the AI handles formatting, keyword optimization, and design—letting you focus solely on your achievements.' - Rahul Dubey, Resume Expert
