Hi,
I was going to revise my resume and start applying for a new job and I saw that one of the job sites had a tool that would help me to generate my own resume. Do you recommend using this? It looks pretty simple to do and professional looking.

A resume generated by a job site is typically going to help you get a jump on creating your own, and they can look very professional. The only real drawback is that they are not transferable. If you create one at Indeed, for example, you won’t be able to use it if you are applying to a company directly or through Monster. This can be a good way to learn how to set up your resume, but be sure that you create one on your own and save it to your own computer so you don’t need to worry about this.
