How it actually works

Every feature, as a 30-second walkthrough. Most people use two features and never find the rest — this page is the rest.

Step 1

Pick a resume template and edit it

Your resume lives in one place — the master resume. Templates are just different ways of printing it, so switching template never makes you retype anything.

Step 1 of 5Browse and filter

Open Templates and narrow by style, experience level or industry. Every one of the 69 is single-column and ATS-safe unless the card says otherwise.

  1. Browse and filter

    Open Templates and narrow by style, experience level or industry. Every one of the 69 is single-column and ATS-safe unless the card says otherwise.

    Look for Templates
  2. Preview before you commit

    Hit Preview on any card to see the real PDF, not a picture of one. If you've already built your master resume, flip the toggle to My data and the same PDF re-renders with your own details.

    Look for Preview → My data
  3. Fill your master resume

    Use this template takes you to the editor with that template remembered. Fill the sections down the page — name, experience, education, skills. AI suggestions appear on the right as you type.

    Look for Use this template
  4. Edit any time, download any time

    The master resume is always editable at /resume. Change a bullet there and every future download and every tailored version picks it up — you never edit a template, you edit your resume.

    Look for PDF · DOCX
  5. Tailor it for a specific job

    Paste a job description in Tailor and we rewrite your bullets for that role, then score the result. Every tailored version is saved separately with its own downloads — your master never changes.

    Look for Tailor with this

The bit people get wrong: Editing happens in the master resume, never in the template. If a change isn't showing up, you're probably looking at an older tailored version — open /resume, edit, save.

Browse templates

Free includes 19 templates with a small watermark line at the foot of the page. Pro unlocks 56 and removes the watermark; Premium unlocks all 69.

Step 2

Tailor it for the JD

One resume, rewritten for each job you apply to. Paste a JD, get your bullets rephrased in the right tone with an ATS score and a diff of every change — your master stays untouched.

Paste the JD into Job description, or drop a Naukri / LinkedIn / Indeed link in the URL box and hit Pull JD to fetch it. Add the role title and company so the rewrite can aim properly.

    Look for Pull JD
  2. Pick tone and length, then go

    Tone offers formal, confident, humble, results-driven and executive; Length gives 1-page, 2-page or detailed. Then hit Tailor now — it takes about 30 seconds.

    Look for Tailor now
  3. Read the score, before and after

    You get ATS Score Before and After out of 100, plus keyword coverage — what got added, what matched, what's still missing — and a breakdown across keyword match, quantification, action verbs and more.

    Look for ATS Score · After
  4. Check the diff, then download

    What changed shows every bullet side-by-side with the old text struck out, and Why I changed this explains each edit. Download as PDF, DOCX or HTML — the version is saved to your dashboard.

    Look for Download PDF

The bit people get wrong: A tailored version is frozen at creation. To improve it further, fix your master resume at /resume and tailor again — editing the master is what changes every future version.

Open Tailor

Free includes 2 tailorings a month (resume + JD up to 2000 words). Pro removes both limits; there's also ₹49 pay-per-use.

Step 3

Write the cover letter

A cover letter recruiters actually finish, written from your master resume against the JD you paste. Five tones, one click, and it never touches your tailoring credits.

The letter is grounded in your master resume — nothing else to paste

Step 1 of 3Paste the JD

Drop the job description into Job description — the letter is grounded in your master resume, so there's nothing else to paste. Role and Company are optional but sharpen the opening line.

    Look for Job description
  2. Pick a tone

    Five tones: formal, enthusiastic, story-driven, problem-solver and confident. Pick the one that matches the company, then hit Write cover letter.

    Look for Write cover letter
  3. Copy and send

    You get a subject line plus the letter body. Hit Copy and paste it straight into the application form or email — your last ten letters stay on the page under Recent.

    Look for Copy

The bit people get wrong: It writes from your master resume, so it errors if you haven't built one. Do /resume first, then come back.

Write a cover letter

Free at every plan — cover letters never use credits. Fair-use limit of 20 an hour.

Step 4

Track every application

A kanban board for your job hunt. Every application moves saved → applied → screening → interview → offer, and the funnel numbers tell you what to fix next.

  2. Move cards with one tap

    Each card shows → chips for its next stages — applied, screening, interview, offer, plus rejected and accepted. No dragging; tap the chip the moment something moves.

    Look for → applied
  3. Let Gmail fill the board

    Import from Gmail scans your last 90 days of 'application received' emails and prefills the tracker — Connect Gmail, then Run import. Read-only; we never send mail for you.

    Look for Import from Gmail
  4. Read the funnel in Analytics

    Analytics turns the board into response, interview and offer rates plus a stage-by-stage funnel. And if a card sits in applied for a week, we email you a follow-up nudge.

    Look for Analytics

The bit people get wrong: The rates only move when you move the cards. If everything sits in applied, the funnel has nothing to tell you.

Open the tracker

Free for everyone, no limits — the tracker and Analytics work on any plan.

Step 5

Rehearse the interview

A mock interviewer that reads your actual resume, asks 5–7 questions for the round you pick, and scores every answer so you know exactly what to practice.

  1. Pick your round

    Choose behavioral, technical or HR under Round, and optionally paste the JD so questions aim at the actual job. Then hit Start interview.

    Look for Start interview
  2. Answer by typing or speaking

    Questions come one at a time. Type your answer and Send, or hit Speak answer to dictate — it transcribes for you, which is much closer to the real thing.

    Look for Speak answer
  3. Get scored on every answer

    Every answer gets Clarity, Structure and Relevance out of 10 with two sentences of feedback — you'll know exactly why an answer felt weak while it's still fresh.

  4. Finish with a practice list

    After 5–7 questions you get a Confidence Index out of 100 with your strengths, your gaps, and a practice list to work through before the real interview.

The bit people get wrong: Refreshing the page loses the running interview, so finish a session in one sitting.

Start a mock interview

Free on every plan — it needs your master resume, since questions come from your real experience.

Send a link, not a file

Turn the same resume into a website

A web portfolio is your resume as an animated personal site you can send as a link. It's built from the same master resume, so there's nothing extra to write.

All 46 previews are open to everyone and run on demo data, so you can see exactly how a design behaves before deciding.

  2. Open it with your data

    Open & Edit renders the site from your master resume in a new tab, with a small floating toolbar at the bottom.

    Look for Open & Edit
  3. Edit text straight on the page

    Click Edit in that toolbar (or just press E) and the text becomes editable where it sits — click a heading, retype it, click away. Press Escape or hit Edit again to stop.

    Look for Edit
  4. Add your photo and project shots

    Photo sets your profile picture. Click any picture slot in the page to add a project screenshot or a certificate. Images are compressed in your browser first, then saved to your account, so they follow you to any device.

    Look for Photo
  5. Download a single file and host it free

    Download from the toolbar saves one self-contained .html file with every image baked in. Drag it onto Netlify Drop and you have a live link in about a minute. Print saves the same page as a PDF instead.

    Look for Download · Print

The bit people get wrong: There are two Download buttons and they aren't the same. The one in the floating toolbar saves what you see, including text you retyped. The one on the gallery card re-renders fresh from your master resume — images included, retyped text not. Typed edits live in the browser you made them in, so download from that same browser.

Open portfolios

Free lets you open 2 designs with your own data, Pro 30, and Premium all 46 including the 3D and interactive ones. Previews stay free at every plan.

Your profile too

Audit your LinkedIn profile

Your LinkedIn, scored the way a recruiter skims it — with rewrites for the headline and About, skills to add and drop, and a profile-photo check.

  2. Run the audit

    Hit Audit my profile for a score out of 100 and a Top priorities list. Character counters keep you inside LinkedIn's 220-char headline cut and the About 'see more' fold.

    Look for Audit my profile
  3. Steal the rewrites

    Three About rewrites — story, achievement and hybrid — plus headline options, Skills to add and Skills to drop. Pick the one that sounds like you and paste it into LinkedIn.

  4. Check your photo too

    The Photo feedback tab scores your picture on framing, lighting, background, expression and professionalism, and tells you what to fix before it costs you profile views.

    Look for Photo feedback

The bit people get wrong: We can't fetch your profile from a URL — LinkedIn blocks bots. The PDF export upload is the auto-fill path.

Audit my profile

Uses no tailoring credits. Fair-use limits apply (10 audits an hour).

  2. Read the damage

    You get a one-line verdict, the specific burns, a straight 'real talk' paragraph, a numbered list of what to fix, and a score out of 10.

  3. Fix what it found

    Every burn maps to something you can change. Take the fix list into your master resume, apply it, then run the ATS check to see the score move.

    Look for ATS Score Checker
  4. Share it if you're brave

    Sign in and consent, and we save a public link with its own share card for WhatsApp, LinkedIn or X. Your personal details are stripped out before anything is stored.

Roast my resume

Completely free, signed in or not. Sharing needs an account only because a public link has to belong to someone.

No JD needed

  3. Download or keep going

    Grab the PDF or DOCX, open View full diff to see every bullet compared, or push on with Tailor this for a JD once you have a real job in sight.

    Look for View full diff

The bit people get wrong: Optimize never edits your master. To iterate, apply the improvements at /resume first — re-running on the same untouched master gives a near-identical result and still spends a credit.

Optimize my resume

Uses one free credit per run (same monthly pool as tailoring, 2/month). Unlimited on Pro.

Free tools

Three free checkers

Quick, single-purpose tools that each answer one scary question: will the bots parse me, what's missing for this job, and does my resume sound like ChatGPT wrote it?

  2. Skill Gap Finder

    Paste a JD and hit Find my skill gaps — it compares the ask against your master resume and names the real gaps, not keyword bait, each with a plan and free courses to close it.

  3. Resume Humanizer

    Paste bullets that sound AI-written and hit Humanize — buzzwords go, sentence rhythm varies, and every number, skill and fact stays exactly as you wrote it. Robot Score shows the drop.

    Look for Humanize

The bit people get wrong: Skill Gap Finder compares against your master resume, so build that first — the other two work on anything you paste.

Check my ATS score

All three are free: 5 ATS checks and 3 Humanizer runs a month, Skill Gap uncapped. Pro removes the caps.

Pro tools

ATS X-Ray and Offer Roast

The two deeper Pro tools: see your resume file exactly as an ATS parser sees it, and get an offer letter dissected before you sign anything.

  3. Roast your offer letter

    Paste an offer into Offer Roast with your role, city and years — you get a verdict, CTC breakdown, market band, red flags, hidden traps and ready-to-send negotiation scripts.

The bit people get wrong: X-Ray reads the file you upload, not your saved master — export your latest PDF first so you're testing the thing you actually send.

Both are Pro (₹199/mo) — free accounts see the locked preview. Unlimited runs once upgraded.

  3. Send a DM that doesn't feel cold

    Three ready-to-edit drafts — Formal, Conversational and Hinglish — each with a Copy button. Personalise one line, send, and you've turned a cold apply into a warm intro.

The bit people get wrong: The DMs auto-fill from your master resume — a filled-in master makes them noticeably warmer.
