Welcome to the design bites series for Easley’s design tool. In this tutorial, we’re going to talk about how you can quickly make an infographic resume using Easelly Pro.
Before you get started on your infographic resume, it’s ideal that you have an updated traditional resume ready to work from so that you can easily copy and paste text. This will save you a lot of time when designing. You also want to remember that you still need to have a traditional resume ready to go for online applications that need to be submitted in traditional formats. Infographic resumes shouldn’t replace your traditional resume. They should supplement your job search by having a more creative and visual resume alternative that shows off your unique personality, creativity, and originality to potential employers!
If you are using Easelly PRO, you can select “Resume” from the Template categories list. We highly recommend using a professionally designed template that you can edit and customize with your information and style. Once you find a template you’d like to work with, just click and drag your template onto the canvas.
Here are 3 main things you can do to customize a resume template. These are basic, but it’s an excellent way to get you started on your Infographic Resume!

Click on the background button and change the color of your background.
To Edit, Add or delete text

You can then Go to the EDIT Menu for all the customization options for your text
