Make your Resume a Piece of Cake
CakeResume helps job seekers to create a unique resume in minutes
Are you constantly updating your resume to meet different job descriptions? When I was job hunting, I found it was overwhelming and time-consuming to use the current web tools for resume editing. Luckily, I met CakeResume's founder/software engineer Trantor who had the same problem.
We decided to work together create and enhance a web-based resume editing tool so that others like us could create, edit, update, download, and share resumes as easy as possible.
