Want a second pair of eyes on it?

The builder above does the machine's half of the job — it gets the format past the software that screens applications before a human ever sees them.

What it cannot do is tell you that "Coy Cdr, 120 men, Op Alert" means nothing to a civilian hiring manager, and that "led a 120-person team through a six-month readiness cycle" means everything — same service, same truth, one of them gets read.

If you want that read done by hand, send your draft to support@sainikdesk.com. It comes back reworked, with the reasons written next to the changes, so the next one you write yourself.

₹500 — settled before any work starts The site has one other paid service — a hand-checked pension estimate, on the pension calculator page. Nothing else here costs anything: the builder above, and every other page, stays free. Do not send Aadhaar, PPO, service number or unit names — a resume never needs them, and this site never asks.

Before you apply

Replace generic draft bullets with facts and measurable results you can defend in an interview.
Use the same job title and important skills that genuinely apply to you from the vacancy.
Keep the resume to one or two pages and check phone, email and spelling.
Never claim a civilian licence or certification you do not hold.

Frequently asked questions

Is this resume builder really free?

Yes — completely free, with no account, no sign-up and no hidden paid version. Build, copy, download or print as many times as you want.

Does anything I type leave my browser?

No. The resume is built entirely on your device. Nothing you type is uploaded, saved or seen by Sainik Desk — closing the tab erases everything.

Will this resume clear every company's ATS?

No tool can promise that, and you should not trust one that does. This builder gives you a clean single-column, standard-heading format that hiring software reads easily — but selection always depends on how well your real experience matches the job.

Why is the resume in English?

Most companies and their hiring software shortlist English resumes. On the Hindi page the guidance is in Hindi, but the resume itself is generated in English so you can use it directly.

What must I never put in this resume?

Your service number, Aadhaar, PPO number, unit or battalion names, postings and any operational detail. The builder warns you if it spots these — describe transferable skills and public responsibilities only.
