-Another thought regarding Reordering... what if you leave the UI as is but make it so that clicking on another menu item causes the user to stop Reordering? Effectively, doing something other than Reordering causes the current order to save.

For example, click Reorder, move things around, then click on Summary/Education/etc to finish Reordering. Could also click on Resume (at the top) to finish Reordering.

What I like about this approach is that it removes a click from the workflow.

-Another idea would be to make double-clicking into a content block finish Reordering, and then enter the edit mode, e.g dbl-click to edit text for a job.

Just some ideas... Best of luck.

Great work. Clean, clear workflows.

-With the Reorder capability, it took me a bit to realize that the left-side menu had changed to Done Reordering. I was hunting for the Done button at the top and bottom of the page; I didn't expect the menu to change. So maybe add the Done button to the bottom/top or change the color of the left-side menu when Reordering.

-Maybe additional sections for awards, publications, languages, certifications, etc.

-Easy to add skills by TAB+TAB+ENTER but simply pressing ENTER would be nice. So... type the new skill "Ruby", press enter, then the current new skill is added and the user is taken to a blank skill field. (Hopefully that workflow makes sense.)

-If you want to really get clever, perhaps add a way to version resume content for specific job applications, e.g. Software Developer vs Software Consultant vs Software Tech Support. Each of those positions would have some technical overlap but the applicant would do best by tailoring the resume to the specific position.
