    I just… make a resume. No template, I just use a word processor to lay out what I want where I want. My basic format is:

    • quick details on the left - name, contact info, links to portfolio, etc
    • experience on the right - 3-4 items, newest on top, with 3-5 bullet points per item
    • skills and certifications on the bottom

    I spend 10-15 min making it look a little pretty, and that’s about it. I then spend about 5 min customizing it for whatever role I’m applying for. I can knock out 5-10 customized applications per hour, depending on how onerous their application process is.

    So yeah, I’m with you, DIY is the best IMO.
