Core Features

  • AI Bullet Optimizer. Role-aware rewrites that add impact verbs, quantified outcomes, and ATS keywords.
  • Cover Letter AI. Generate a letter that mirrors your resume’s voice and reflects the target role.

Best Practices for ATS

  • Use standard headings (Experience, Education, Skills) and avoid decorative tables for core text.
  • Quantify achievements where possible (%, $, ↑/↓). AI will suggest metrics; keep them truthful.
  • Mirror keywords from the job description naturally—don’t stuff them.
  • Prefer a single or two-column layout with clear reading order.

Troubleshooting

Fonts look different in PDF? Ensure you’re using supported fonts; exports embed the fonts used in the editor.

Strange text order in TXT? Use default headings and avoid placing critical text inside decorative blocks.

Autosave conflicts? If editing across devices simultaneously, refresh one tab to resolve merge state.
