Reactive Resume is a free and open source resume builder which was created to simplify the tedious tasks of generating, updating, and publishing your resume as simple as possible. With this software, you can make several resumes, send them to employers or friends via a special URL, and print them as PDFs all for free without having to worry about your data being compromised or sold to any commercial entity via monitoring or analytical tools.
You have complete control over everything that goes into your curriculum vitae, including the layout, colors, templates, and placement of the various parts. Want a cv in dark mode? Three values simply need to be changed, and you’re done. You do not need to wait to observe the changes. Everything you submit and alter appears instantly and is updated in real time on your cv.
