It doesn't even work, so don't sweat it :D
Getting a "Username is too short (minimum is 2 characters)" after signing up with Twitter.

Thank you for the comment! Since I'd like to build a platform instead of just a tool. I want to build a platform for people to share their passions. Resume tool is just the begin.

You want a platform, as a user I primarily want a tool, not a platform.
Maybe you got something useful to offer, but you need to demonstrate value first before hassling me with that.
In our job application frontend we don't even require logins or passwords. Only after you have finished your application and confirmed the privacy agreement we send an email with a confirmation link, only then you can add a password to follow the progress of the application, but even that is optional.

I noticed smartrecruiters.com follow this format and it was such a pleasant experience using it.

You probably should be more subtle with the sign up. Get people interested and then soft sell the login. That's how I would do it. With people you have to be subtle. And have to give a lot of value up front before they are willing to let you into their e-mail and wallet.

I agree, let them make resume first, then ask them to sign up if they want to save/export.

Nice. Thank you! Actually, that's how CakeResume v1 works. But finally I decide to ask for emails. Now the signup conversion is high in Asia. However, I'll keep in mind and maybe someday change this.
Otherwise looks nice, atleast in the images.
