Getting started / Quick start
Quick start
Go from an empty account to a job-ready résumé, cover letter, and interview plan in about ten minutes. Here's the whole path.
1. Create your profile
Sign up and you get 10 free credits. Add your name and contact details once — every tool reuses them, so you never re-type them.
From there the whole path is about ten minutes: build a résumé, point it at a job, and rehearse the interview that job would actually give you.
2. Understand credits
There is no subscription. You buy credits and spend them only when the app does real work for you. If a generation fails, the credit comes straight back — you are never charged for something you didn't receive.
- A new résumé — 3 credits, charged when you first save it. Editing and downloading it afterwards is free.
- Tailoring it to a job — 2 credits.
- A cover letter — 2 credits.
- Practice questions with STAR scoring — 5 credits.
- A live voice interview — 50 credits.
Credits never expire. Every spend, refund and top-up is itemised in Settings.
3. Choose a template
Every template is built to be machine-parseable: no multi-column layouts that scramble, no text trapped in images. If you're applying through a big company's portal, the ATS-tagged one is the safest choice.
You can switch template at any time — it restyles the same content, so nothing you've written is lost. Browse them on the templates page.
4. Fill in the sections
The builder has a rail of sections on the left and a live preview on the right. Sections can be filled in any order — nobody remembers their career in a straight line — and the preview is the actual document, updating as you type.
TIP
Lead every bullet with a verb and end it with a result. “Cut invoice processing time by a third” beats “responsible for invoice processing” every time.
5. Style it and export
The controls under the preview change text size and spacing, and they write to the same config the PDF export reads — what you see is what comes out.
Exporting an existing résumé to PDF costs nothing. You're only charged the 3 credits once, when a new résumé is first saved.
6. Point it at a job
Paste the job description once. Tailoring (2 credits) rewrites your résumé against that posting and gives you a match score with a list of what changed and why.
This is also where the job gets captured. Every tool after it — the cover letter, the questions, the voice interview — reads that same job, so you never paste it again.
TIP
Paste the whole posting, not a summary of it. The more of the real text we have, the better the match.
7. Write the cover letter
The letter (2 credits) is written from the job you already gave us and the history already on your résumé, so it cites real things you have done rather than swapping a company name into a template. Pick a tone, and read it before you send it.
8. Practise the questions
Interview prep (5 credits) writes the questions this role is likely to actually ask. Answer them in writing and each answer is scored against STAR — situation, task, action, result — with the specific thing that's missing named out loud.
9. Say it out loud
The voice interview (50 credits) is the one that resembles the real thing: an interviewer speaks, you answer with your voice, and it follows up on what you actually said.
If you already generated practice questions for this job, the voice interview reuses them — you aren't charged twice for the same questions. Your microphone is tested before anything is spent.
