What's the difference between a base resume and a tailored resume?

Resumes are the resumes the AI tailors from. You build one (upload a PDF/DOCX or fill the form manually) and keep it sharp over time; you can keep several, up to your plan's limit. One of them is your default resume: it's used for match scores, for Auto-apply, and for any job no other resume is set for. Tailored resumes are per-job versions the AI generates on demand, rewriting a base resume to highlight the parts that match a specific posting. You accumulate one tailored version per job (with full version history per job), and Save as base resume copies a tailored one into your base resumes.

How do I reorder or hide sections in my resume?

Inside a base resume's form, every section header has a drag handle on the left and an eye toggle on the right. Drag the handle to move the section up or down; click the eye to hide it (the data stays, but the section is excluded from the PDF and from what the AI sees when tailoring). Individual entries inside a section (e.g. a single job in Experience) have the same drag-and-hide controls. The same controls work on tailored resume edit pages too, scoped to that one document.

Can I download my base resume as PDF?

Yes. From a base resume's edit page, click Download in the toolbar to get a PDF in your current default template and style. Preview and download are free on every plan. To download a tailored version instead, open it from the Tailored page and use Download there.

How do I generate a tailored resume or cover letter?

Open a job and press Tailor application in the job detail panel, or, in the Table view of Find jobs or on the Tracker, right-click a job (or check several rows) and pick Tailor application. Then choose Resume + Cover Letter, Resume, or Cover Letter. Generation runs in the background, so you can keep working: the Tasks Panel at the top of the sidebar tracks each task and pings you when it's ready.

Can I generate documents for several jobs at once?

Yes, but batch generation is a Max-only feature. Free and Pro can only generate one job at a time. On Max you can select up to 5 jobs per click. Combined with Resume + Cover Letter, that's up to 10 documents in a single action. Selecting more than your plan's cap surfaces a toast ("Maximum N jobs at a time on your plan") and blocks the run; on Free or Pro, a multi-job selection surfaces a Max upsell instead. On Max, tailoring has no monthly limit, within fair use (see Billing & Plans).

What language are the documents in?

Every tailored resume and cover letter is generated in English, regardless of the country in the job's location. Country-aware structure (photo handling, address detail, legal footer) still adapts to the target market, but the prose stays English.

What does "country-aware tailoring" mean?

The country in the job's location automatically shapes a few things in the tailored output:

  • Photos and birth dates are stripped in markets where they're not standard (US, UK, IE, CA, AU) and kept where they are (DE, AT, CH, NL, JP, AE)
  • Address detail follows the local convention (full street and zipcode in Europe and Japan, city only in Anglo and Singapore conventions)
  • Legal footers: countries with explicit data-processing requirements (IT, PL, RO) get the standard authorization clause appended

None of this needs configuring.

Which templates are available?

Resumes: Harvard, Classic, Sidebar, Executive, Vivid, Framed (six templates). Cover letters: Professional, Modern, Double Frame, Geometric (four templates). Each accepts 5 fonts and a primary + accent color. Set the resume defaults on your default resume and the cover letter defaults with Use as default on any tailored cover letter, or override them per document on the tailored doc edit page. Switching templates is free: no AI call, nothing counted.

How do I customize fonts and colors?

Your default resume and every tailored cover letter have a style panel where you pick a font (Raleway, Lato, Merriweather, Inter, or Montserrat) plus a primary and accent color. Whatever you save on the default resume, or keep with Use as default on a cover letter, becomes the default applied to every tailored document you generate from that point on. To override the style on a single tailored document, open it from the Tailored page; the per-doc style takes precedence over the saved defaults. Switching font or color is free.

Can I edit a tailored resume after generation?

Yes. Open the version from the Tailored page and you get the same controls as on a base resume, scoped to that version: edit any field inline, reorder or hide sections and entries, switch templates, override style. Bullet enhancement and Section improvement work on tailored resumes too. Save creates a new version; Reset rolls back to the last saved one.

Are old versions kept when I regenerate?

Yes. Regenerating creates v2, v3, and so on instead of overwriting. Open the version dropdown on the job's row in Tailored to compare or restore. The full version history on base resumes (every save creates a restorable version) is available on Pro and Max.

How do I delete a tailored document?

Open the Tailored page and click the trash icon on the row for the job you want to clear. The action removes every version (resume + cover letter) for that job in one shot, prompts before destroying anything, and is irreversible once confirmed. Your base resumes and any other jobs are unaffected.

Can I refine paragraphs of a cover letter with AI?

AI refinement isn't available on cover letter paragraphs. The easiest way to iterate is to regenerate the letter for that job (it counts as one tailored document), or edit the paragraphs by hand on the edit page.
