I tested 5 AI resume builders to help get a job — here's what happened

Here’s how to apply for a job using AI

Man holding resume in front of a computer

I long for the day when I’ll wake up in the morning and get my AI ready to go to work for me . Until that time comes, the least AI could do for me today is to help me land a job I like.

Not everyone is a fan of resume and cover letters, but they remain staples in many recruitment processes.

For years, employers have also been using forms of AI to filter through these documents in order to narrow down the pool of applications they receive for any given vacancy. 

The latest advances in generative AI mean that right now employees can leverage AI tools at their disposal to empower themselves in the job-hunting process.

I wanted to see how powerful these tools are. To find out, I created a shortlist of AI resume and cover letter builders that I wanted to try. Tom’s Guide believes in fair fights, so I used each of them as though I was applying for the same job with the same profile.

A target was required and I found a LinkedIn ad for a real job as a remote Software Engineer with generative AI responsibilities at Meta (formerly Facebook) that looked promising.

The role asked for a candidate with over two years of coding experience and over two years of building large-scale applications. More experience was required in designing and completing medium to large features without guidance. Meta was looking for a candidate with, or in the process of obtaining, a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or equivalent practical experience. In exchange, the company was offering a salary between $116k and $168k per year.

I created a fictitious aspiring Meta software engineer, Tamsin Smith, in order to have some kind of profile I could submit to the AI. Smith holds two Stanford University degrees in computing science, completed an internship with Twitter and has been working at Google as a software engineer since 2019. 

If that’s not enough for Mark Zuckerberg to give her an offer, she also leads a local scouting group in her free time.

With an actual job ad and an alter ego in hand, I was ready to start reviewing AI tools. Read on to find out which tools I used, what they produced and my thoughts on their performance.

Resume created by Rezi.ai

My first attempt was with Rezi.ai since it offers a free basic service and I wanted to check if the way I designed the review could work in principle. And it did!

Right after confirming my email, I was creating Tamsin Smith’s first resume.

I was presented with a choice between a “Job-Tailored Resume” and a “General Purpose Resume”; I went with the first choice as it was exactly what this test was about. It asked me for the role and company I’m targeting but I was blindsided when Rezi asked me to insert a job application I’d written for the role. Isn’t this something the AI should be doing for me?

I finished this side quest and then added basic details like my name and email, followed by my previous work experience. Here’s when I first encountered signs of AI life in the form of a bullet point generator to further explain my role. 

Rezi went on to ask me to add details on projects I’d worked on, my education history, certifications, coursework, involvement in other organizations, and my skills.

The next exciting step was the summary section, where I gladly let the AI take control. It was nothing I couldn’t have come up with myself if I simply wanted to summarize my resume, but it at least merits a pass mark. (I wanted to ask the AI to write a cover letter for me based on the finished resume but that feature requires a subscription.)

Overall Rezi marked the resume it produced at 87 out of 100, which I think is a bit too generous. If you have a rough idea of what you want your resume to look like, by all means, use Rezi so you don’t have to worry about the formatting. It might also provide a helpful AI-generated bullet point or two along the way.

If you were worried that not using Rezi’s AI was the one thing stopping you from getting your dream job, rest assured that (at least with its free version) this is not the case.

My score: 3/5

Resumaker.ai

Resume created by Resumaker

“Designed templates that will get you hired at the world's leading companies,” Resumaker proudly displayed on its homepage. I also had to pay ($0.99) to download my resume and cover letter. Surely, I was on the verge of getting Tamsin hired?

By now I’d gotten the hang of inserting details like my education and work history. In this regard, little separates the resume builders tested here.

The AI kicked in to provide me with text I could insert as accomplishments in my jobs and as the headline summary. The latter left much to be desired but at least it was presentable. Resumaker didn’t offer to beef up my volunteering section so I had to write that part manually. As a whole, the resume felt a bit dry but at least it was presentable.

However, it’s a good thing this service isn’t called Coverlettermaker. Every sentence it generated started with either an “I am” or “I have”. When you’re working with such a structure, there’s only so much you can do to make the rest more exciting. Furthermore, it left the [Company Name] field for me to fill in. AI that’s supposed to help me land a job in a highly competitive market should come with higher standards. 

Resumaker.ai claims that thousands of applications it created landed people jobs. If there’s any truth to that, then on the bright side we really shouldn’t be overthinking what we’re sending to hiring managers.

Resume created by Teal

The main question I asked myself before deciding whether each AI builder deserved a pass mark was: Can I send out the résumé as is? 

Teal didn’t quite make the cut here.

It asked me to connect the specific job I was applying for from LinkedIn to the resume and it started analyzing the job ad for keywords I should include. Fantastic! I was ready for a made-to-measure summary, past accomplishments, and cover letter — the areas where I wanted the AI to work its magic.

Unfortunately, this is where I felt let down. In the headline summary, Teal ended up giving me a compilation of the achievements it had previously generated but also prominently added that I had expertise in “work authorization”. The AI thought the right to work in the U.S. requirement from Meta’s job description was a hard skill. 

It scored its own resume at 79%.

As far as its cover letter goes, I appreciated that I could generate it for free without having to spend time adding more details than I already had. However, the result was something I could have just as easily written myself.

My score: 2/5

Kickresume.com

Resume created by Kickresume

The last AI resume maker I wanted to test was Kickresume, which had the highest monthly fee out of the lot at $19 per month. You can bring that down by paying an annual lump sum that brings the pricing down to $9 a month or, as I did, utilize the free trial version. 

Right when I was losing hope in the resume generators, Kickresume lifted my spirits.

Its helpful AI writer was alongside me from start to finish, offering handy suggestions for work accomplishments, explaining my certifications, and also suggesting skills I should list specifically for a software engineering position. I ended up with a clean-looking CV and I didn’t even have to break a sweat.

Kickresume gave the resume it generated a score of 88/100.

If I’m in a pinch and need a new resume that I don’t have to scan for AI-generated sentences that would land me in the "rejected" pile, Kickresume.com is the first website I’ll be visiting.

I wanted to add a nice cherry to the cake, so I asked Kickresume to create a cover letter using the great resume it made. But this is where I was underwhelmed. 

While devoid of grammatical errors, I felt as though the AI didn’t take the résumé and job description I gave into consideration. It provided me with a few short lines that didn’t even name-drop Tamsin’s fictitious stints at Twitter and Google. You wouldn’t even know she completed two degrees at Stanford. Based on my positive experience with the résumé, I couldn’t believe this was the same AI content generator.

My score: 4/5

Resume created by ChatGPT

No subscriptions. No plugins. I wanted to see how well the free version of OpenAI ’s ChatGPT would do against the four dedicated AI resume and cover letter generators listed above.

I tweaked a prompt that I found online and, in 161 words, I asked the AI for a first draft of my new resume. I then asked the chatbot to refine its work based on the job description I gave it to make my resume less generic. In seconds, I had my second draft.

Since ChatGPT only gave me a plain text version of my resume, I then pasted what it gave me into a template from one of the previous builders.

I’m happy to announce that both myself and Tamsin were very pleased with the results. The resume easily rivals the ones generated from the other services I tested. I wouldn’t have minded some text to beef up the education section to explain what I had learned at Stanford. Also, the line pointing out that Meta was previously called Facebook is something I would never have included in a resume intended for Meta’s eyes. Other than that, ChatGPT gave me decent results in the shortest amount of time.

I was especially impressed with the cover letter I asked ChatGPT to craft for me. It was perhaps a bit too long for some tastes but it was arguably the most well-rounded out of the five.

Honorary score: 4/5

The verdict

There have already been reports of people using AI to write resumes and cover letters who ended up getting hired for the positions they’ve applied for, and I’m not surprised. But as this test has shown, a website’s claim that it uses AI to provide a service is not some kind of guarantee of the level of service you can expect. 

Shop around when looking for AI resume and cover letter writers. Perhaps combine two or more of them to leverage each one’s specific strengths. But add the finishing touches yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Resume Builders

Do you still have some questions? Check out the answers to the most common questions related to AI resume builders.

1. How can you effectively use an AI resume builder?

The best way to use AI to create your resume is to provide it with comprehensive information.

First, figure out exactly what’s in demand for the position you’re applying for. If you only give the resume builder a general idea of the role you’re aiming for, it’s going to give you a generalized resume.

The more details you provide about the exact job you want to apply for, the better. The AI will be able to focus on those particular areas and help you highlight your most relevant strengths and experiences.

Artificial Intelligence works best with well-structured data, so by inputting as much of it as necessary, you can get the most out of the AI resume builder.

So, add all your work experience, skills, details about your education , and anything else you think is relevant.

2. Can AI update my resume?

Yes, AI can be used to update your resume.

You can, for example, use an AI-powered resume builder to input your updated career information and then the AI will provide suggestions. The suggested changes may include optimizing the language on your resume, formatting the layout for more readability, or highlighting skills and experiences based on the job you want.

However, while AI can provide guidance, the final decision on everything is up to you. AI can’t fully understand the complexities of your personal experience and career objectives but it can make the resume-writing process a lot faster and easier.

3. Are there free AI resume builders?

While most AI resume builders include a paywall, some have a free version.

For example, Novorésumé offers a free version of the resume builder which can greatly help you create a compelling resume. The AI provides suggestions for improving your resume’s content and layout, as well as offers keywords based on your industry and professional background.

Give it a try for yourself!

And that’s our list of the best AI-powered resume builders!

Hopefully, now you’re familiar with the tools at your disposal and you’re ready to make the perfect resume with the help of AI and a user-friendly resume builder.

AI resume builder FAQs

What is an ai resume builder.

An AI resume builder is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to assist users in creating their resumes. These tools often have features like customized templates, content suggestions, optimization for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), custom tailoring, feedback, and revision options.

What features does Enhancv’s AI resume builder offer?

Enhancv offers a range of AI features to help you create your resume with ease:

  • Templates and customization: AI resume builders typically offer a variety of templates that users can choose from. These templates are designed to be both visually appealing and to meet the standards expected in different industries.
  • ChatGPT-powered resume content writing and suggestions: Enhancv suggests content based on your input. For example, after entering your job history, you will receive suggestions for expanding upon your professional accomplishments or skills that align with your experience.
  • Optimization for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS): These systems are used by employers to screen resumes before they are seen by a human. Our builder suggests keywords and phrases that are likely to be favorable in these systems based on your job title.
  • Feedback and revision suggestions: we’ve got a resume checker that provides feedback on the overall quality of the resume, including suggestions for improving layout, grammar, and wording.

How do I use ChatGPT on my resume?

You can use ChatGPT on your resume for a range of activities, related to resume building, including:

  • Rewriting or writing from scratch difficult-to-write resume sections, such as your resume summary and job descriptions.
  • Making your resume bullet points more action and performance-oriented.
  • Suggesting skills and other keywords to include in your resume based on a job title.
  • Suggesting extra sections that can help you stand out from the crowd.
  • Using your resume as a starting point for an interview preparation mockup.
  • Using your resume as a base for writing your cover letter.

Can recruiters tell if my resume was written by ChatGPT?

As long as your application is customized with your job history and accomplishments, it’s unlikely that recruiters can tell if you used ChatGPT. ChatGPT can only help improve your resume writing, but lying on a resume is unacceptable.

Are resumes scanned by AI?

Resumes in some companies are scanned by an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) which may or may not have AI features. These systems parse resumes and match them with job descriptions. Enhancv’s resume templates are tested for ATS compatibility, though a 100% parsing rate is not guaranteed due to varying ATS models because the content of the resume is more important for ATS-friendliness than the template itself.

Enhancv Executive has changed my life: One week & four interviews later, I will be making 150% more doing the job I chose.

Resume Analytics

First, what is an AI resume builder?

AI resume builders (or writers) are tools powered by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms designed to automatically generate resumes and other job-related documents (like cover letters). 

Based on user input, these algorithms analyze relevant job postings, candidates’ experience and qualifications, and look for relevant keywords and skills to help users build a tailored resume . 

And what are the benefits of using one? 

  • It saves you time.
  • It writes personalized content for you.
  • It formats the resume.

Without further ado, let’s find the best one for you!

1. Kickresume's AI Resume Writer

Let's address the elephant in the room — I work for Kickresume. However, I tested our tool the same way as the others, step-by-step, and objectively. 

Kickresume’s AI Resume Builder is powered by OpenAI's GPT-3 NLP model. This model is the world’s most powerful natural language processing model, which is very well-suited for creating structured documents like resumes. 

All you need to do is enter a job title — and it generates a unique and personalized work experience section. To create a full resume using AI, you simply fill in a 2-minute questionnaire.

How does it work?

After logging in to your account, on the dashboard in Your documents, click on New resume with AI . This takes you straight into a short questionnaire which takes 2 minutes to complete (you can check the preview in the GIF above). It includes questions about your personal information, your most recent work experience, your education, skills, and hobbies. 

Your resume will then be generated. You can customize the final resume if you want to — for example, I added some personal details and changed the template. But you can also re-order the sections, change the icons, or add any additional sections (10+ optional sections available).

Alternatively, you can also use AI to write only bullet points for your work experience section. You can either import your existing resume, build it from a resume sample from our database, import your LinkedIn profile, or create one from scratch manually. Then, AI generates bullet points for your work experience section based simply on your job title. It took about 5 seconds. 

You can edit these if you want them to have a more personalized feel, add new ones, or regenerate them if you don't like them. Then you can customize the final resume (the design, template, font, re-order sections, etc.).

Pros & cons of Kickresume's AI Resume Builder

  • Increased web traffic by 25% through innovative SEO techniques
  • Wrote and edited compelling copy for the website, blog, and social media
  • Edited and proofread documents for grammar, style, and content
  • Resume design. Kickresume also specializes in resume design, so all of its 35+ resume templates are designed by a team of professional typographers and recruiters. You can customize and adjust every design aspect, like fonts, spacing, colors, and more. What I really like is that you can change the icons for sections and personal information. It made my creative soul very happy.
  • Easy to use. One of the most straightforward AI resume-writing tools out there. All of the steps are very intuitive and are complemented by helpful tips and links to comprehensive guides throughout the process. The developers are clearly no strangers to UX design.
  • You can re-order sections. Depending on which section you want to highlight and place at the top, you can re-order the sections simply by dragging. This comes very handy since by choosing a suitable resume format , you can easily steer attention to certain sections and away from others.
  • Free option. You can create a full resume using AI for free.

The not so good:

  • May require personalization. Given that the text has been written by AI rather than you and had limited information as input, you might still need to make some adjustments and tweak the details to make it more personal in the end. For instance, since this tool only uses your latest job title as input, it has no knowledge of your previous work experience or quantifiable achievements.

Kickresume’s pricing

  • Free: With a free account you can create 1 complete resume using AI. Alternatively, you can generate bullet points for multiple work experience sections.
  • Premium users can create 30+ career documents (including resumes & cover letters) monthly. Premium subscription starts at $5/month .
  • Bonus: Option to get 6 months of free premium for students and teachers
  • Bonus # 2: If you choose the yearly subscription, up to 5 of your friends get a month of Kickresume Premium for free!

By the way, Kickresume also has an AI Resume Checker tool that offers feedback to help you improve it and an AI Cover Letter Writer that produces a rock-solid cover letter in seconds.

2. Resumaker.ai

ai resume builder

Resumaker.ai is a simple resume-building tool that helps you craft a resume in minutes thanks to pre-written phrases. 

This resume builder is easy to use and requires minimal effort. You start by picking a resume template design you like. Then you fill in your personal information, your job title, and keywords. 

In the last stage, the AI technology helps auto-fill certain resume sections (resume summary, work experience, and skills) with pre-written phrases . You can add more phrases or edit them. These phrases are very complex and high-quality.

In the work experience section, you can add multiple jobs and job titles, each with its unique pre-written description in bullet points. Then you need to manually fill in details like company names or dates, and other sections, including education. 

Pros & cons of Resumaker.ai

  • To give you an example, this is a suggested sentence for a Data Scientist resume summary: “ Data Scientist with a deep understanding of analysis and programming, proficient in Python and R. Experienced in building machine learning models and data visualization.”
  • Interactive assistant. The built-in assistant interactively guides you through the application in a few steps. 
  • No free option. There's no option to create a resume for free.
  • Limited number of phrases. For the resume summary, the tool suggests 5 phrases to choose from, and for the work experience section, you can choose from 10. 
  • Limited customization. You can choose one of the 10 templates. However, you then have very limited options for customization. Line spacing and color are the only things you can change. 

Resumaker’s pricing

  • No option to create a resume for free.
  • Subscription starts at $0.99 for a 7-day access . You must cancel this trial before it ends, otherwise, it automatically renews and you'll be charged $29.70 every 4 weeks. 
  • Alternatively, a 3-month premium subscription costs $23.75 and a 6-month subscription costs $45.75

3. Resume Genius

ai resume writer

Resume Genius is a resume-building tool featuring a very effective resume generator software that can help you quickly create customized career documents.

You start by answering a few questions about your past work experience and the highest attained education level. In the next step, you're presented with 6 recommended templates, though you can choose to “ view all templates.”

In the next step, you'll complete and fill in all these sections in this order: contact information, experience, education, certifications, skills, career objective, references, and optional additional sections. 

In the work experience section, you get 25+ recommended bullet points for your chosen job title (see this stage in the picture above). You can also choose from 60+ recommended skills. Finally, you can choose from 15+ recommended career objectives. 

Pros & cons of Resume Genius

  • For example, this is a suggested work experience bullet point for the job of Data Scientist: “ Monitored products from statistical programs for accuracy, consistency and statistical validity. ”
  • Provides tips. This tool is very user-friendly, guiding you through every step as well as providing tips for writing and improvement.
  • A lot of phrases to choose from. The exact number of suggested phrases depends on the specific job title. However, for all of the occupations we tested, there was a pretty lengthy selection (usually 25+, but for some even 99+). 
  • Nice templates. The templates are all very sleek and look professional.
  • Step-by-step editor. As mentioned before, when filling in your information, you have to fill them in a pre-defined order and can't jump from section to section or skip them. 
  • Very limited customization. Both in terms of customizing the templates (as you can only change the font size and color of the template) and ordering the resume sections. For instance, if you're a fresh graduate and would rather use a functional resume format highlighting your skills at the top of the resume, you wouldn't be able to. Unfortunately, the sections can't be re-ordered.
  • No free option. No option to create a resume for free; you can only start a 14-day trial period for $2.95.

Resume Genius pricing

  • 14-day trial plan: $2.90 (you have to cancel, otherwise it will auto-renew and you’ll be billed $23.90 every 30 days )
  • 1-month plan for $6.40 (you'll be billed annually at $76.80) 

ai resume builder

With this AI resume builder tool, you can automatically generate descriptions for certain resume sections. All descriptions are tailored for specific jobs in your field and optimized for applicant tracking systems (ATS) by targeting keywords. 

At first, you're asked whether you want to create a resume from scratch, import an existing one from LinkedIn, or create one from a sample resume. Next, you select whether you want a job-tailored resume or a general-purpose one. 

Then you need to select the job title you're interested in, a company (if applicable), and you can paste the specific job description, too. You also fill in the name of the field and your experience level. 

At the final stage, you have to fill in details for different resume sections manually (check out the picture above). Rezi's AI writer tool can generate relevant and convincing descriptions for selected sections of your resume (experience, projects, involvement, skills, and summary). Finally, you can tweak and edit your AI-generated resume as much as you need to get the ideal final result.

Pros & cons of Rezi.ai

  • AI keyword targeting. Rezi is content-focused — it suggests the right keywords and details that best fit the role you're targeting. The AI picks keywords from the job ad (which you can paste in the first stage) and suggests bullet points that contain these. 
  • Gives improvement tips & points out mistakes. This tool also assigns your resume a score based on its current design and content and gives you personalized suggestions for improving both the content and formatting. It also points out any obvious mistakes.
  • Can complete 1 resume for free. With a free account, you'll receive enough credits to create one standard-formatted resume using AI. 
  • Auto-adjust to fit one page. Depending on how much content you provide, the auto-adjust feature will re-adjust the content to fit one page and ensure there's either enough or not too much white space.
  • It's a bit time-consuming. Compared to other tools mentioned in this review, this tool takes a bit more time to complete a full resume. There are a lot of sections that require manual completion and the first stage of the process also requires more input. 
  • Poor selection of templates. There was only 1 free template which was very basic. The other 5 templates were only for Pro subscription users and were also mediocre at best.
  • No option to re-order sections. Similar to Resume Genius, with this AI resume writer you don't have the option to choose your own order of resume sections.

Rezi's pricing

  • Free: With a free account you get limited credits for the AI tool (enough for 1-2 full resumes using AI tools). Each use of the AI builder subtracts credits. 
  • Additional AI credits are available as a one-time purchase for $10 .
  • For $3 per month you get 1 resume limit, a limited access to keyword targeting and content analysis, and can access only standard resume templates.
  • For $29 per month you get full access to all features and 100,000 AI credits which renew every month.

5. Skillroads

AI resume writer

Skillroads is a fairly advanced AI resume builder that can not only generate a resume for you but also assess and review your current one. It relies on the completion of a pretty lengthy, though intuitive questionnaire. 

First, you must provide your personal information like name, email, and phone number. What comes next is a 6-step questionnaire containing questions regarding your desired job, your objectives, highlights, experience, skills, and education. 

While in some of these steps, you'll only need to click on provided options, some require a bit more time to complete. 

Once you get to the last step, your resume will be generated. You can then edit it (to some extent) and preview the final result. 

Pros & cons of Skillroads

  • Creates a full resume based on the questionnaire. Though you should personalize some of the details, the AI takes care of everything else. 
  • 1 resume generated for free by AI. You can create and download 1 PDF resume for free.
  • Online 24/7 help available. Even though other resume builders also had online chat support (like Kickresume), Skillroads' employee replied in under 2 minutes and was very helpful. Cheers Valery!
  • AI-written resume summary was satisfactory. In the words of Comrade Dyatlov, not great, not terrible. It used the “highlights section” as input, so pay extra attention if you want your summary to be relevant.

The not so good: 

  • Can't leave the phone number blank. It required entering a phone number even though I wanted to leave that field blank. 
  • The website is lagging. Moving on to the next steps in the questionnaire took way more than it should have — both when trying different browsers and using different devices & wifi networks. 
  • No possibility of adding your own content. You can only fill in certain sections with the pre-defined content available. For example, in the skills section, I could only click on the provided skill and not add any of my own. The same happens in the highlights section. 
  • Only one available template and no customization. There's no selection of templates to choose from. The pre-defined one is very bland and basic. Plus, there are no customization options at all. The text size is also very small and you can't change it. 
  • Can't re-order sections. After the resume is generated, you can't edit the order of the sections, which is not ideal for job seekers who don't want a chronological resume format.

Skillroads' pricing

  • Free : You can create 1 resume using AI for free and download it in PDF or .doc format.
  • For a one-time payment of $9.99 , you can have an unlimited number of resumes (though it doesn't mention whether you can also use the AI tool without limits).

AI Resume Writer Frequently Asked Questions

How does an ai resume writer work.

An AI resume writer analyzes thousands of existing resumes across industries and job titles to learn how to write the perfect resume for any application. Simply input basic information such as your current job title and skills, and let our AI resume writer generate text for your resume’s summary and work experience sections.

Can my AI resume be personalized to each job I apply to?

AI resumes are the perfect option when you’re applying for many positions, because they allow you to personalize each resume quickly and efficiently. Whether you choose to personalize the content manually, or request changes from the AI itself, our AI resume builder can generate unlimited personalized resumes.

How effective are resumes generated by an AI resume writer?

Resumes generated by an AI resume writer are just as effective, if not more effective, than traditional, manually written resumes. Because our AI resume writer has analyzed so many effective resumes, it understands exactly what to say to help you stand apart from the crowd and catch a hiring manager’s attention, fast.

 How long does it take to build a resume using AI?

An AI resume can take just minutes to build. Once you’ve input your information, VisualCV’s AI resume writer will generate your content in a matter of seconds. After that, it’s up to you how much or how little you’d like to change the content or add any extra sections, such as skills, to your resume.

What information should I provide an AI resume writer?

The more information you provide an AI resume writer, the better. However, VisualCV’s AI resume writer can create resume summaries and resume work experience entries using minimal information, such as your industry and level of experience. For example, telling the AI resume writer that you work in finance and your current job title is portfolio manager will lead the AI writer to create content based on previously analyzed portfolio manager resumes. This approach may require more editing on your end, but can be a great jumping off point when you’re feeling stuck. On the other hand, if you include more information about your accomplishments at your current position, the AI resume builder can give your work experience or summary sections that extra bit of polish you’re looking for.

Will my resume pass Applicant Tracking System (ATS) software?

All of VisualCV’s professionally designed resume templates have been formulated specifically to pass ATS software. Using our AI resume builder will not impact your resume’s ability to be seen by a real person in any way!

Should I use an AI resume writer, or a professional resume writer?

Whether to use AI or a professional resume writer can be a tricky decision, but, in general, our AI resume builder is a perfect jumping off point when you’re not sure how to begin writing. If your career has been especially long, you have many jobs to speak about, or your journey can be difficult or complicated to explain in a resume, you might find it easier to work with a (human) professional resume writer. However, the majority of resumes are straightforward and perfect candidates for our AI resume writer.

Can I make edits to my resume after the AI resume writer creates it?

You can always edit your resume in VisualCV’s resume builder after our AI resume writer has created it. If you aren’t happy with the content the AI resume builder provides, you can either edit the existing content or regenerate the provided content for a new suggestion.

ai to help build resume

Looking to take your resume to the next level and land the job? Here’s a how-to guide about using artificial intelligence to build your resume.

Using AI to Build Your Resume: Tips & Prompt Examples

Did you know that 99% of Fortune 500 companies use an applicant tracking system (ATS)? Unless your resume is ultra-targeted to the position, it’s unlikely to rank well or snag a recruiter’s attention.

But artificial intelligence (AI) can help. In today’s fast-paced world, AI has become increasingly popular for crafting winning resumes that beat the bots. After all, having a well-written resume can make all the difference in landing the job.

If you haven’t yet explored the idea of using AI in your resume writing, we’ve gathered answers to some common questions. Get a feel for AI tools on the market, brainstorm how you can utilize AI to help you create an impactful resume , and most importantly, understand AI’s limitations and why it’s not a replacement for your personal touch.

Benefits of Using AI to Write Your Resume

Looking to win out your job competition and spruce up your resume in a fraction of the time? There are several reasons AI might top your list of tools to explore.

— Save Time

Realistically, writing a resume from scratch can be intimidating and time-consuming. It’s often a style of formal writing that most of us don’t often use unless we’re looking for work. Add to that the general stress and anxiety that a job search can bring, and the words just won’t flow at times.

With an AI-powered tool, you can input the job description and your information and let AI do the heavy lifting for you . That time you’re saving? You can use it on networking , strategizing , and relationship-building tasks instead.

— Get Objective Feedback

Do you usually have a friend or family member look over your resume? They can provide a fantastic second set of eyes and ideas. But they might also color their feedback to avoid hurting your feelings or unintentionally misinform you if they’re not up to date on industry practices.

AI-powered tools can critique everything from your tone, grammar, and spelling to your job match . That’s certainly not to say it’s infallible, but using AI tools as prompts can help you create a more compelling resume.

— Tailor Your Resume to Fit

By now you’ve realized that job searching isn’t one-size-fits-all process. And that’s evident when you’re writing your resume. Rather than trying to tweak a generic template, you can create a custom, highly targeted document. AI can respond well to industry, position, and even experience-level prompts .

FlexJobs Career Expert Keith Spencer points out, “It’s usually beneficial to give ChatGPT information to work with, like using information from your current resume to revise what you’ve written and make it more impactful.”

3 Ways to Use AI to Build Your Resume

Consider your needs and goals when choosing an AI tool for resume creation. Research and compare features of different tools to find the one that best aligns with your requirements. Remember, one size doesn’t fit all!

Your resume is full of several distinct sections, and you can use AI to assist with each section individually and create a rough draft for your entire document.

1. Use AI to Help Write Your Professional Summary

Front and center at the top of your resume is your professional summary . Often the first thing that recruiters and hiring managers see, your summary should hook their attention quickly.

AI can analyze your career history and the job description . You can generate multiple versions in different tones to help you brainstorm how to weave in keywords and targeted skills .

2. Use AI for Better Bullet Points

Once a recruiter moves past your summary, they will likely scan your resume bullet points . You can leverage AI tools in a few different ways here. For one thing, AI can suggest more concise phrasing . Or, if you’re unsure how to quantify an achievement, AI can offer some suggestions.

When you’ve included the job description, AI can suggest short, punchy statements that match the targeted qualities more closely. That alone can help you rank higher in an ATS .

3. Use AI for Consistent Tone

While you’ll still need to infuse your personality throughout your resume, you can use AI to ensure consistent tone and styling throughout your document.

General AI tools, like ChatGPT and Grammarly, can really shine with this task. These tools will help you polish your resume by highlighting any readability issues, offering more concise phrasing, and ensuring that you’re maintaining your target messaging throughout.

Concerns About Using AI to Write Your Resume

Before you get started, take a moment to consider some potential drawbacks of using AI for resume writing.

— Lack of Personal Touch

AI isn’t you. This is the most glaring concern that deserves more than a glance. AI won’t understand anything about your history that you don’t tell it . Also, it doesn’t necessarily understand nuances, such as industry-specific jargon. And those are factors that can make your resume grab a hiring manager’s attention and start imagining you in the role.

— Possibility of Disqualification

Sure, everywhere you look today, AI use is becoming mainstream. Having said that, it’s important that you know that using AI to generate your entire resume can be frowned upon or considered deceptive by some recruiters.

Not to mention, if AI-generated bullet points oversell your qualifications and you can’t meet expectations, you could be fired for providing misleading or false information.

— Potential Errors

Beware that AI isn’t incapable of making errors. AI tools are advancing daily, but there’s still much room for error. You might need several tools to ensure you have the right tone and grammar and are typo-free. AI outputs can contain incorrect or misleading information .

“If you directly use ChatGPT-produced text by copying and pasting into your documents or communications, you might accidentally send grammatically or factually incorrect information to someone,” Spencer cautions.

— Data Privacy and Security

Ensure you are proactive in protecting your personal information. Your resume contains sensitive data, so it’s essential to be mindful about where you input your resume and how much information you share. Many conversations are occurring about copyright and legalities around AI-generated outputs and tools .

What you input and generate might not be yours once AI gets involved. Unless definitive laws are put in place protecting your information, it’s best to err on the side of caution.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI

Below are some common questions about sourcing AI tools and utilizing them to write your job application materials.

1. Can AI help me write a resume?

Yes, AI can definitely help you write a resume. AI can be your resume’s new best friend, from analyzing your career history and experiences to customizing your summary and bullet points. However, AI won’t necessarily reflect your personal brand , career goals , or interests. It’s still essential that you review and edit all AI-generated content .

2. Which AI is best for resume writing?

There isn’t a straightforward answer to which AI is best for resume writing, as different AI-powered tools and platforms excel in various aspects of the resume-writing process. To choose the best AI for your needs , consider what you’re looking to accomplish and evaluate the features offered by each tool.

There’s a lot of talk about ChatGPT, which still has a free membership option, but if you’re fully immersed in a job search, you can save a bit of time by using resume builders , like MyPerfectResume . For editing grammar, the industry standards are Grammarly and Hemingway Editor .

3. Can I use ChatGPT to rewrite my resume?

ChatGPT can act as either a writer or an editor. Learn some basic prompting to get higher-quality outputs. With its natural language processing (NLP), you might enjoy the back-and-forth conversational aspect of using that tool instead of more traditional interfaces.

“ChatGPT responses often need to be refined, meaning that you should give it follow-up prompts or ask it additional questions to get the type of information you need or want,” Spencer notes. “You need to be specific in what you are asking ChatGPT to do and you can ask additional questions to get it to revise the response it previously gave you.”

4. Is there a free AI resume writer?

While there isn’t a comprehensive free AI resume writer covering all aspects of resume writing, several AI-powered tools and platforms offer free versions or trials with limited features. ChatGPT still offers free accounts. Grammarly and Hemingway Editor also provide free versions with limited functionality.

5. What other ways can AI help me with my job search?

Outside of resume creation, AI can be a valuable assistant when writing any of your job application materials . AI can be like having a professional editor in your pocket, from your cover letter to your LinkedIn profile , follow-up emails to social media posts . You won’t get the friendly Slack or text messages that you would from a live editor, but instant feedback and idea generation are available 24/7.

You can also use ChatGPT and similar tools to brainstorm the types of jobs you might be interested in when you input your work history, passions, or career goals. There are nearly limitless ways to let AI help you expand your boundaries by asking questions that get your creative juices flowing.

AI Prompt Examples to Build Your Resume

Using AI to build your resume will take some practice. And, you should always hand review and update each time you utilize artificial intelligence. As FlexJobs’ career expert Keith Spencer states “Your interactions with ChatGPT will feel like a back-and-forth conversation, where you refine your requests or share information as you go along to help it improve the quality, accuracy, and relevance of the responses it provides.”

You should think of AI as an assistant looking to fill in gaps you may be missing. AI won’t ask you questions when they don’t understand, so you must clarify to obtain the results you need. Fortunately, getting higher-quality writing with just a few tweaks is not hard.

How to Write an AI Resume Prompt

Consider the following as a starting point to build your resume with AI:

  • Purpose : Clearly state the goal or objective of the content you want the AI to generate.
  • Format : Specify the desired format or structure. You can say “resume” but you could also try “resume header” or “resume experience section.”
  • Tone : Indicate the desired tone of your content. Play around with suggestions, like professional, conversational, casual, etc.
  • Length : Provide a guideline for the desired length of your resume. Specify either word count or section count.
  • Key points : List the main points you want the AI to cover.
  • Audience : Briefly describe your target audience for the content, like a human resources professional or hiring manager.
  • Examples : You can provide an example if you have previous resumes you’re proud of. Let the AI know you’re providing an example that shouldn’t be included in the output.
  • Include your cover letter : Provide AI with your cover letter and ask it to use the cover letter as a guide and support for the resume. For cover letter AI tips, see Using AI to Generate Your Cover Letter: Tips & Prompt Examples .

Use the Best Tools for Your Job Search

AI can be a great addition to your job-searching toolbox . Used responsibly, you can easily craft an impressive resume that helps you catch a hiring manager’s attention. While you embrace new technologies, continue to grow your professional expertise and skills to ensure you stand out from the competition.

One of the best tools you can use in your job search is a steady stream of legitimate jobs. Rather than devote time to sifting through the scams, let our team of researchers verify jobs for you. With FlexJobs, you can find remote jobs , hybrid jobs , weekend jobs , easy jobs that pay well , traveling jobs , and more. Take the tour to discover all of the ways a FlexJobs membership can support your job search.

11 Best AI Resume Builder Based on Job Description

Yakov Itai Samelson

In this article, we are going to discover the 11 best AI resume builder based on job description, features, pricing, and how to choose the best AI resume builder for you.

The Need for AI Resume Builder Based on Job Description

The need for an AI Resume Builder that tailors resume based on job descriptions cannot be overstated. In today’s job market, recruiters often use ATS to filter out resumes that don’t meet specific criteria, which are usually based on keywords and phrases from the job description. A generic resume is less likely to make it past these filters, reducing the chances of it being seen by human eyes. An AI Resume Builder addresses this issue by analyzing job descriptions and guiding job seekers to include relevant keywords and phrases, ensuring their resumes are optimized for both ATS and the discerning eyes of recruiters.

Moreover, job seekers come from diverse backgrounds and may not always know how to effectively translate their experiences into the language that resonates with employers in their target industry. AI Resume Builders can bridge this gap by providing suggestions on how to frame their experiences, skills, and achievements in a way that aligns with the expectations and requirements of the job they are applying for. This level of customization is essential for creating a resume that not only passes ATS filters but also appeals to the hiring manager’s search for a candidate whose qualifications match the job description closely.

AI Resume Builder Based on Job Description

How does AI Resume Builder Based on Job Description work?

An AI Resume Builder operates by employing advanced algorithms and natural language processing (NLP) to dissect job postings and extract key skills and qualifications sought by employers. It then cross-references this information with the user’s input regarding their own experiences and competencies. The AI suggests enhancements and modifications to ensure the resume content is aligned with the job description, increasing the likelihood of a match in ATS scans.

The process typically begins with the user uploading their current resume and the job description they are targeting. The AI then performs an analysis, identifying gaps and opportunities for optimization. It may suggest different phrasings, the inclusion of specific action verbs, or restructuring of information to highlight the most relevant aspects of the user’s background. The result is a tailored resume that speaks directly to the needs and preferences of the employer, crafted with the precision that only AI can provide.

How to choose the Best AI Resume Builder Based on Job Description?

Choosing the best AI Resume Builder requires careful consideration of several factors. First, the effectiveness of the AI in understanding and processing job descriptions is paramount. The builder should be able to accurately identify industry-specific keywords and offer relevant suggestions. Additionally, the user interface should be intuitive and user-friendly, allowing for easy navigation and customization without requiring extensive technical knowledge.

Another important aspect is the range of customization options available. The best AI Resume Builders provide a variety of templates and design choices, enabling users to create a resume that is not only optimized for content but also visually appealing and professional. The ability to edit and fine-tune the AI’s suggestions is also crucial, as it ensures that the final document truly reflects the individual’s unique experiences and personality.

Lastly, consider the builder’s track record and reviews from other users. A reputable AI Resume Builder will have positive feedback and success stories from job seekers who have effectively used the tool to land interviews and job offers. By taking these factors into account, job seekers can select an AI Resume Builder that will provide them with a competitive edge in their job search.

How Do AI Resume Builders Work? 

For those not well-versed in the current AI revolution, let me give you a brief rundown on how free AI resume builders work.

The AI is like the ship's computer, similar to the one on the USS Enterprise, It uses this "intelligence" to organize your information just like the computer helps Captain Picard make decisions. Think of formatting and design as creating your resume's holodeck program. Like Spock's logical thinking, the AI checks for errors such as typos or confusing sentences. Lastly, the AI offers suggestions for improvement, much like Captain Kirk's briefings before exploring new worlds. It helps you make your resume even better.

Is there more to AI writing ? Yes, absolutely. Should you let the AI write your resume? Well, let’s see what those free AI resume builders can do!

8 Free AI Resume Builders

The time has come. The section you’ve all been waiting for. I dove into 8 free AI resume builders I found online and decided to test them. Here are my thoughts & findings:

1. ResumA.I

ResumA.I. uses Chat GPT artificial intelligence to help users draft and refine their resumes. As a free user, you can access one standard resume format and enough tools to create your job application.

Using this free AI resume builder is very straightforward. I found the UI intuitive and not overwhelming, which is perfect for people writing their first resume with no experience . The creation process is separated into sections, which you can fill out step-by-step.

ResumA.I. work history bullet point generation

Unfortunately, most of what the AI tool generated was fairly bland and would need some rewriting if I wanted to showcase my professional work achievements in the form of strong resume bullet points .

And you can only create one resume. This means you’ll have to stick to a much less effective general resume than a targeted resume . On top of that, you can’t create a cover letter unless you upgrade to a paid plan.

Pros & Cons of ResumA.I

This free AI resume builder platform utilizes GPT technology to assist users in generating well-structured and effective resumes. The free plan gives users limited access to the features, including 4 simple resume templates , limited AI tools usage, keyword matching, and helpful resume-making tips during creation.

When using the Teal HQ free AI resume maker, I found it to be very easy and intuitive. The builder's layout was nice, and locating all the tools and sections was fast and simple. The resume bullet points TealHQ generated were strong and quantified, which surprised me. Unfortunately, the free plan only allows you to generate 5 bullet points.

TealHQ resume bullet points generation

TealHQ’s free AI resume builder platform also features some nice additional aspects, such as job tracking, email templates to send with the resume , and a survey to discover your preferred work style. I took the quiz for fun, and the results were fairly accurate. I guess I chose the proper career path.

TealHQ career path survey results

So, did I find anything that was lacking? For once, TealHQ requires you to download a Chrome extension to unlock some of the features, which means this free AI resume builder isn’t an out-of-the-box (or out-of-a-website) solution.

As for the resume writing process, I could not add my resume sections , and not all of them were present. If I wanted to show off my languages or professional memberships, I wouldn’t be able to. 

You can also add a “job description” to your work history on top of your achievements. An inexperienced job-seeker could easily put too much information in this bracket, making him go over the accepted resume length . And to be frank, there is no need for this box to exist anyway. The resume examples I looked at on their website didn’t use it either.

Pros & Cons of TealHQ

Expert Hint: Even though it’s easy to write, a good resume header is absolutely crucial. Don’t neglect it by making an avoidable mistake in your contact information.

3. Appy Pie

The Appy Pie’s free AI resume builder utilizes artificial intelligence to generate visually diverse resume designs. Users can choose from 29 creative resume templates to suit their preferences and industry standards. This free AI resume builder also features an extensive library of AI arts and designs you can use to customize the layout and make your resume truly stand out .

But that’s it. Appy Pie isn’t as much a free AI resume builder but a free AI resume template maker. It has great potential when designing and adding your personal touch to the document. You can even use the built-in feature to generate your own AI art or AI logos for your resume. A really cool feature is the ability to add a QR code that redirects to your personal website.

But I couldn’t find the advertised feature to help me write a resume . There were no suggestions as to what I should write and where. On top of that, this free AI resume builder adds a very invasive watermark to your document.

Appy Pie watermarked free AI resume

One more thing to note. You can only download your resume as a JPG, PPT, or PNG as a free user. Getting your resume as a PDF or DOC , requires you to upgrade. You can’t even receive a TXT file to transfer it onto a template easily.

4. Skillroads

Skillroads free AI resume maker is advertised as a quick and easy way to generate a resume from your input. Enter your job title, personal information, work history, education, and skills section, and the program will generate a resume.

Does that sound familiar?

It should. You have basically written a resume by yourself. Where is the AI in that? Well, the natural language processing used by this free AI resume maker sources strengths and skills that suit you best . In the end, it takes all of your input and creates a visually pleasing resume template.

But, at least for me, there were many issues. The first and most grueling one was the lack of responsiveness from the website. The program took 9 minutes and 13 seconds to move from step 3 (choosing career strengths) to step 4 (filling out my professional experience). This is a brutal amount of time just to get to another point in writing.

This free AI resume builder also didn’t help me write my resume achievements. Instead, it provided a selection of job responsibilities to include in this section. And yes, one of the starting verb was not even capitalized. Which was later pointed out by an AI-powered resume checker as an error. Sigh .

Skillroads providing job responsibilities, instead of achievements

On top of that, there was only an option to add additional sections for your resume certifications , memberships, references , and hobbies & interests . Nothing else. And, each time I changed something in my resume’s layout , I was greeted by a buffering icon and had to refresh the page for my changes to be acknowledged. Overall, Skillroads was really not fun to use.

Skillroads free AI resume builder constantly buffering

Pros & Cons of Skillroads

Rezi free AI resume builder offers several AI-based features to help you write a resume. You have access to the classic bullet point writer and a bullet point editor (which can instantly rewrite those bullets you find lacking). Then, there is the resume profile generator and an AI cover letter writer (but only with a paid plan).

That’s not all. Rezi can optimize your resume to target specific resume keywords , increasing your chances of passing ATS scans. And there is one more feature, which I haven’t found anywhere else—It allows you to verify your resume on a blockchain to ensure its authenticity and make it impervious to unwanted editing.

But let’s get back on track. Rezi’s builder seemed familiar, and that’s because it has the same UI as ResumA.I. You can see it in the screenshot below. The top one is ResumA.I, and the bottom one is Rezi.

Rezi free AI resume builder layout compared to ResumA.I

This, unfortunately, means that I don’t have much to add. The two builders seem to work identically to me, meaning it was generally good and responsive but a bit underwhelming.

Pros & Cons of Rezi

6. this resume does not exist + enhancv.

Ever wondered what Jack Black’s resume would look like? No? Me neither, and…

I did not mean…

He did not mean…

To blow your mind…

But This Resume Does Not Exist has a whole catalog of AI-generated resumes that take the careers of various famous people and transform them into neat job applications. And when you pick one to edit, you get redirected to the EnhanCV website.

EnhanCV is a free AI resume builder platform that leverages AI to analyze and optimize resumes to match job ads effectively. This AI-driven approach helps users create more tailored and compelling resumes, increasing their chances of securing job opportunities. It doesn’t necessarily use AI to help you build your resume but to check and optimize it. So, to summarize, This Resume Does Not Exist provides you with AI-generated resumes, which you can later edit on EnhanCV using their AI-powered resume checker.

And what does EnhanCV’s AI checker do? It’s designed to look after and highlight repetitive verbs, check whether you have an ATS-compliant resume template , identify misspellings, grammar, and punctuation errors, and remind you to remove weak wording to replace it with resume power words .

EnhanCV AI resume checker

But, if you’re looking for a fully-fledged free AI resume builder that will create your application from scratch, this isn’t it. Oh, and EnhanCV also watermarks your page. And that doesn’t look professional at all.

But hey, if you’re famous, maybe you’ll find your resume already there, ready to be downloaded. Wink, wink .

Pros & Cons of EnhanCV

7. hyresnap.

Next is HyreSnap , an amazingly rated free AI resume builder on Trustpilot and ProductHunt. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype.

This free AI-powered resume maker works in 4 steps. First, you choose an ATS-compliant resume template and have to fill it out. Then, you get access to pre-written work achievements, resume profile statements, and even prompts to enhance your education section —which is fantastic for freshers writing an entry-level resume .

HyreSnap free AI resume builder prompts for enhancing the education section

Another good thing is that HyreSnap allows you to add multiple new sections. And while you're adding more information to your resume, it’s constantly getting reviewed by the AI to guide you toward writing the perfect resume . Step 3 is the AI comparing your resume to the job description you’re targeting to optimize for keywords. Step 4 helps you in your job search by adding compatibility scores for each of our job listings to help you gauge your chances.

HyreSnap’s builder was fast and responsive, and I had the best experience with it out of all the other reviewed builders. But there are always things to improve. In the case of HyreSnap, I’d definitely like to see them add matching cover letter templates to their resume designs. There are only two cover letter outlines and eleven resume layouts. Seeing non-matching resume and cover letter documents can make you look unprofessional.

But if you’re a free user, you don’t have to worry about it, since you won’t be able to create a cover letter with their builder anyway.

Pros & Cons of HyreSnap

8. chat gpt.

Since many of the aforementioned free AI resume builders use Open AI’s ChatGPT technology, why not go directly to the source?

In simple terms, ChatGPT works like this: It takes your query as input, analyzes it to understand what you’re looking for, and then creates an answer by stringing together words in a way it predicts they should go.

So, if you ask it to create a sample resume for an X job, it will take that and then create a result based on what the algorithm thinks a resume for said job should look like. So, let’s give it a quick test!

Since I know a lot about prompt engineering, I asked my non-tech-savvy friend to create a resume for herself (using a fake name, obviously). This better shows the output for people who are not proficient in writing long and descriptive prompts. This is the result:

Chat GPT resume output

As you can see, it’s not bad, but it’s not great either. And since ChatGPT itself isn’t a specialized free AI resume builder, it won’t give you specific insights, suggestions, and step-by-step guides to writing your resume. That is, unless you ask it. But even then, it can provide false or outdated information.

What did my friend say about it? Let me quote: “ I mean, I still have to rewrite it, like, completely. And that’s more annoying than writing one from scratch. ” Well said.

And the biggest downside to using ChatGPT for free AI resume writing? It only outputs text. You’ll still need a blank resume template to copy-paste that text into.

Pros & Cons of ChatGPT

Does resumelab do it better.

I showed you 8 free AI resume builders. But are they better than ResumeLab? Here’s what you can expect from our resume builder:

  • ResumeLab’s UI is snappy and responsive . Its layout also makes it easy to find and work on each part of the resume.
  • ResumeLab’s bullet points provided in our builder were created by HR specialists, career experts, and certified professional resume writers —People who are experts in the job search field. They can be easily adapted to your achievements and have dozens of those bullets for hundreds of jobs.
  • The resume writing process is guided , so you’re never overwhelmed by the information you need to input. And if you ever feel stuck, we have a huge library of content designed to help you write your resume and cover letter.
  • You can add multiple additional resume sections . And if there is any section we don’t provide, you can add a different one and change its heading. Voilà . You have a brand-new section.
  • I need to get slightly technical for this one: In AI writing, tokens are the fundamental units of text that said model processes. Tokens can be as short as one character or as long as one word. And you have a limited number of tokens. This means you must pay for more tokens to generate more text or be fine when you exhaust your limit. With ResumeLab’s prompts, you can add as much text as you want . We don’t bill you per character.
  • Currently, ResumeLab has an impressive number of 28 resume templates . We have modern resume templates , simple ones, and even a couple of designs with a flair of color. And yes, our resume templates match our cover letter designs.
  • As I’ve told you throughout this article—you need a cover letter. And with us, you’ll write one in minutes. We’ll even provide you with prompts to make it faster. How neat is that?
  • It goes without saying: There are absolutely zero watermarks on our templates .

If you want an all-in-one solution for making your job application, try us.

Zety only offers Modern Resume Templates . They are all available in dozens of color schemes, and you can customize their structure, fonts, margins, and so on.

Every change you make in the resume will automatically adjust the contents of your document for you , so you never have to worry about breaking anything.

Why do I need a different resume for every job application?

Recruiters and hiring managers typically receive hundreds of applications per day. To filter out all the applications that do not meet their needs, they use application tracking software that eliminates all resumes that are not tailored for specific keywords included in the job ad . But even without ATS apps, they can quickly differentiate a generic resume copy-pasted and sent to every single company around from a resume tailored to their job ad .

That’s why in your resume, you have to highlight skills and experiences which directly address the company’s needs listed in the job description . To make the cut, you have to send a different resume every time.

In the Zety online resume maker you can quickly duplicate your resume and adjust it to a specific job title in a few clicks!

Should I download my new resume in PDF or Word?

With Zety, you can make a resume for free, and download it in the format of your choice. The most common formats for a resume are PDF and Word . Always opt for the PDF resume if you are sending your document right away. It will ensure your resume layout remains intact on any device and software. Download your resume in Word if you want to have a copy of it that you can edit later.

Note that with your Zety account, you can keep as many copies of your resume as you need online , enabling you to update or edit it for another job application, anytime & anywhere. For more information, read about Word VS PDF resume formats

Do I need a cover letter for my resume?

Yes, you need a cover letter for your resume . Despite what many candidates believe, a cover letter is still necessary in 2024 . In this document, you can elaborate on your skills and work experience listed in the resume. It is the best way to complement your resume and provide details of your achievements and abilities. Besides, attaching a covering letter to your job application is a great sign of your motivation to get the job. Even if you’ve never written one in the past, you can still do it quickly. Read our guide on how to write a cover letter , check our dozens of free cover letter examples , or simply go directly to our cover letter builder .
