I started working on more templates, but it was extra hard because the only resume content I have is mine, BUT I want to target at other career type this time.

So I thought, if you guys want a custom designed resume, please contact me at wtzdesign@gmail.com, I will work with you to create a resume for you, I will give you the design source file in exchange of you allow me to use it for promotion material (key info like name and company info will be substituted with fake info if desired.)

I will pick one to work on first

1. In preview mode, format of name (16 character length) changed to 2 lines. <br> appended at the end of few lines

2. There must be download option for pdf or image

3. While writing, clicking "backspace" unknowingly, goes to last page, better make it "edit mode"

4. Provide more template

5. Provide option to add new category and ask for type of category (text, rating, check box, award, scholarship etc.)

OMG, I forgot the preview mode! Thanks! working on fix that now! for 2, how would you feel for browser print (then pick pdf)? I don't have better technology to generate pdf than the default browser print right now :< for 3, great point! I can see that happen a lot, I will fix that for 4, yes, that is on the horizon for sure! More to come when i launch! for 5, great idea! I thought about it, I am currently working on adding more, along with new template that emphasize on different aspect of resume

Thanks so much!

Cool, waiting for the new version... Let me know, my email id (jyotiranjanpattnaik@gmail.com) if possible. I would love to try again :)

Hello, the founder of profession.is here, happy to answer any questions! Let me know what you think about the web app. Thanks MegaLeon, I knew it was about to happen, queen of typo I am. Thanks mathgeek! More customized themes are on their way in the future. before I go to town designing 10 more resume templates, want to hear some feedback on the foundation of the webapp first from YC community

Looks awesome. Looking for more templates! A "feature" I found: if you click Preview on an unsaved resume - you lose everything :( and no way to restore your entered data

Also, by mistake clicked on "minus" in Work History and all my lovely description got lost :( You should really consider to feed your code with confirmations

update, I fixed the first error, by supporting auto save now!

for 2, ideally, it would support revert by cmd+z for those changes, what do you think? Confirming each time could be too windows-y

Landing page spells "Exmaple". Other than that looks good, expecting more customization options as this gets developed!

> expecting more customization options as this gets developed

This is really key. Right now it looks like a great tool to make a résumé that looks like every other one made with this tool. Customization as it matures should really make it useful!
