Tailored Resumes
Generating a tailored resume rewrites your base resume for a specific job: bullets reframed against the job description, keywords pulled from the requirements, sections ordered to match what the posting emphasizes.
Generating
From the Table view in Find jobs, or the table on the Tracker:
- Right-click a row, or check several rows
- Pick Tailor application in the menu (or the toolbar above the table)
- Choose Resume + Cover Letter, Resume, or Cover Letter
You can also generate from the job detail panel: open a job and press the Tailor application button in the action row (it becomes a My application dropdown with quick links — plus Tailor again — once docs exist).
Picking Resume + Cover Letter runs both pipelines for the same job in one shot, so the resume and the cover letter share the same context and land in Tailored at roughly the same time. There's no separate "generate the cover letter for the resume I just made" step.
Batching across jobs is a Max-only feature. Free and Pro can generate one job at a time (right-click a single row, or open the toolbar action with one job selected). On Max you can multi-select and run the same Tailor application action for up to 5 jobs per click.
Common Max combo: 5 jobs × Resume + Cover Letter = 10 documents generated in parallel from one click. 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, multi-job selections surface a Max upsell instead.
Single-job generation works on every plan. Free includes 1 tailored resume and 1 cover letter a month; Pro and Max have no monthly limit, within fair use. See Billing & Plans for the details.
Generation runs in the background. You can keep working while documents finish; you'll see a small status indicator and a toast when each one is ready.
Editing a tailored resume
Once a tailored resume exists, click its version badge on the Tailored page to open the edit page. You get the same controls as on a base resume, but scoped to that one tailored version:
- Edit any field inline (summary, every bullet, every entry)
- Reorder sections by dragging the section header
- Hide a section with the eye toggle (kept in the data, excluded from the PDF)
- Reorder entries within a section by dragging the entry handle
- Hide an entry with its eye toggle
- Per-section AI refinement: bullet enhancement and section improvement, same as on your base resumes
- Live preview on the left, updating instantly on every change
- Switch templates without re-running the AI (nothing counted)
- Override style (font and colors) just for this document
- Save to persist the changes (creates a new version), or Reset to roll back to the last saved version
- Download the PDF in the currently selected template and style
- Save as base resume to copy it into your base resumes and tailor from it later. The tailored one stays with its job, and the copy isn't made your default automatically
For the broader Tailored page (all tailored docs, search, sort, version dropdown, delete) see Editing Tailored Documents.
Country-aware tailoring
The country in the job's location drives a few things automatically:
- Field stripping: in markets where photos and birth dates are not standard (US, UK, IE, CA, AU), those fields are removed from the tailored output. In markets where they're expected (DE, AT, CH, NL, JP, AE), they're kept.
- Address detail: full street and zipcode for European and Japanese conventions, just city for Anglo and Singapore conventions.
- Legal footers: countries with explicit data-processing requirements (IT, PL, RO) get the standard authorization clause appended, in either the local language or English depending on the language you picked.
These rules are applied before the AI sees your resume, so the tailored output stays appropriate to the market you're applying to without you having to think about it.
Languages
Tailored resumes are generated in English. Country-aware tailoring (above) still adapts the structure and the legal footer to the target market.
Resume templates
Six visual templates for resumes:
| Template | Layout |
|---|---|
| Harvard | Clean single-column, bold section underlines, compact spacing |
| Classic | Traditional serif, elegant section borders |
| Sidebar | Two-column with a dark sidebar for contact and skills |
| Executive | Warm copper accents, timeline layout, skill badges |
| Vivid | Coral accents, circular photo, filled section headers |
| Framed | Monochrome, page border, centered header, two-column body |
Set the default on your default resume, or override on a per-document basis from the resume edit page. Switching templates re-renders the PDF instantly: no AI call, nothing counted.
Style customization
Each template accepts:
- Font: 5 typefaces available (Raleway, Lato, Merriweather, Inter, Montserrat)
- Primary color: the main accent
- Accent color: secondary highlights
Save defaults globally, or override per document. The same panel covers cover letters, with a separate set of saved defaults.
Costs
Each tailored resume counts as one tailored document (Free includes 1 a month; unlimited on Pro and Max, within fair use). Re-generating for the same job creates a new version and counts again. Switching template, font, or colors is free.
