Getting Started with ResumeAgent

When you first sign up, you can either upload an existing resume to pre-fill your knowledge base or start from scratch. Uploading is faster, but either way you will want to review and add detail in the following steps.

Fill in your contact information, including your name, email, phone, location, and links to your LinkedIn or personal website. This information appears at the top of every resume you generate.

For each role, include your job title, company, dates, and a detailed description of your responsibilities and accomplishments. Focus on what you achieved, not just what you were assigned. Use specific numbers and metrics wherever possible.

Include degrees, certifications, and relevant coursework. Add honors, GPA (if strong), and any academic projects that demonstrate skills relevant to your target roles.

Add technical skills, tools, frameworks, languages, methodologies, and soft skills. Be specific. Instead of just "Python," include the libraries and frameworks you use. Instead of just "leadership," describe the team sizes and contexts.

Include personal projects, open source contributions, freelance work, volunteer work, or anything else that demonstrates your capabilities outside of traditional employment.

Paste a sample of your professional writing, around 500 words. This could be from an email, a report, a blog post, or any writing that reflects how you naturally communicate in a professional context.

Find a job posting you are interested in, paste the full job description, enter the job title and company name, and hit generate. Your agent will analyze the posting and create a tailored resume pulling the most relevant content from your knowledge base.

After generating a resume, open it and switch to the Cover Letter tab to create a matching cover letter. It will be tailored to the same job and use your writing sample to match your voice.
