In this post, I will show you how to create an epic resume using AI.
You don’t need any technical skills or design skills to do this. This is a beginner’s guide. Let’s start!
The Step-by-Step Guide
To start creating your resume, I recommend using AI. It’s just so much easier.
But there are many AI tools for resume building. Some are good, some are not so good. Some are easy to use, some aren’t.
But I’ve done the work to find the best ones for you.
Today, we’re using an AI resume builder from the Sheets AI team.

#1 Open the Sheets AI Resume Builder
To create a resume with Sheets AI, head over to this page.
#2 Choose Your Starting Point
Pick one of these options on the top right:
This allows you to build from scratch, import from LinkedIn, and import from an existing resume.
I chose the “Start with your LinkedIn Profile”. If you do this, it asks for your LinkedIn profile.
It’s clever, isn’t it? The tool uses AI to analyze your LinkedIn profile information and experiences, then automatically generates your resume.
Based on this information, it creates the initial version of your resume in an ATS-optimized manner.
#3 Open The Editor
Once the AI is ready, it will automatically open up the AI resume editor. If you used LinkedIn or your existing resume, you’ll see a lot of stuff there already, pre-filled for you.
Here’s a sneak peek at the first draft it created for me.
I know it’s a bit small, so let me zoom it in a bit.
On the left, you’re going to see the personal details, work history, etc.
Then, on the right, you’re always going to see the preview of your resume in real time. The changes you make on the left are immediately reflected on the right.
That’s handy! No jumping in-between windows or any hassle like that.
#4 Fill in Your Details
To create your resume, make sure to enter the details for each section.
Notice that you can easily move things around in the editor by dragging and dropping the elements.
#5 Write with AI
You can use AI to write parts of your resume, too.
For example, in the experiences section, you can fill in your company name and job title, and then use AI to give you a better description.
#6 Change Titles with AI
Also, you can use AI to change your title to be more appealing if you’re after a specific role.
For example, when I typed Coder and clicked “AI Suggestions”, it gave me a bunch of better results.
#7 Find Certifications with AI
You can also use AI to find industry-specific, relevant certifications.
For example, if your resume is a software developer resume, you can look for certifications in your space with AI and fill in those that you’ve taken.
#8 Pick Hobbies with AI
Then, in the interests section, you can use the AI-suggested hobbies and interests instead of having to type them all in.
#9 Tweak Settings
Don’t forget to tweak the settings either.
Despite there being just one resume template, you can still do many things around here.
- For example, you can do layout optimization.
- You can reorder your resume sections.
- You can choose a different font.
- And of course, you can get those AI suggestions too!
#10 Purchase the License
Once you’re done, it’s time to purchase the AI-generated resume.
At the time of writing, the fee is $99, a one-time charge for lifetime access. No recurring fees like most tools do in this space.
#11 Can’t Afford It?
SheetsResume is awesome. If you can’t afford it, you have options:
