This is a brilliant Resume plugin, (don’t listen to other 1 star reviews complaining it doesn’t have xyz features). It creates a very professional and slick-looking resume and whilst it would be good if it also had in-built ability to print resumes or save as pdf etc, you can work around this by simply adding/inserting those features into the Resume page via a plugin or shortcode (…I tried many pdf generators but they were not so good, I found the best output was by using the print function button within the “Add to Any” social sharing plugin, which I already use (…when you press the print button you are given the option to print OR save as a pdf – and then you can just adjust the print settings to your needs and you end up with a PERFECT copy of your resume in a few seconds). I hope the developer will release a premium front-end version for SaaS, as he has mentioned in past comments, as I’m sure many would purchase it. But regardless, thank you for providing this excellent plugin to the community.

Don’t waste your time as they don’t have the download button

I went through the process and added everything but then it didn’t show anything. Don’t waste your time!!!

I purchased my domain many years ago, but it mostly just parked. I finally decided to use it as a resume landing page that I could point people to should a conversation occur surrounding job prospects. In the matter of a night or two, I built my site and replicated my print resume for the web. It looks great, is fast, easy to manage, and has paid off. I have sent recruiters to it and it has actually lead to two different jobs, since setting it all up.
