Standard Resume
Where Standard Resume is strong
- Clean templates designed with hiring managers in mind
- LinkedIn import to get a first draft in minutes
- A web version of your resume that you can share
- A simple, focused product with little to learn
graph
Where graph is different
Standard Resume is about presentation: a clean, readable document. graph is about substance. It helps you recover and record what you actually did and why it mattered, then writes the resume from that. One makes a resume look good, the other gives it something worth reading.
What graph does not do
- It has no cover letter builder, job board or application tracker.
- It offers three resume layouts, not dozens of templates.
- It is built for Data, AI and Analytics work. If you work in another field, a general builder fits better.
Using both
Can you use both?
If you like Standard Resume's clean look, capture your work in graph first so the content you place in that template is stronger.
- Is Standard Resume free?
- According to its website, editing, previewing and sharing a web resume are free, and PDF downloads, view tracking and removing its branding are paid.
- Does Standard Resume optimise for ATS?
- Its main page does not explicitly mention applicant tracking systems, so check its site if that matters to you.
- Can I use my Standard Resume resume with graph?
- Yes. Upload it as a PDF or paste the text when you start, and graph reads it and asks about what is missing.
