Using the Resume Builder and Resume Optimizer

The Resume Builder and Resume Optimizer help you create polished AI-enhanced resumes. You can configure global resume guidelines, optimize client resumes using AI, customize layouts and sections, and generate job-specific versions that boost application success.

Setting Up Your Resume Guidelines

Start by configuring your global resume optimization settings. These settings will apply to all client resumes you optimize.

Navigate to Settings > Resume

1. Configure Your Resume Optimization Prompt

In the "Resume Optimization Prompt" field, enter your custom guidelines for how AI should format and structure resumes. For example:

• "Use dark round bullet points for describing work experience"

• "Keep all descriptions under 2 sentences"

• "Focus on quantifiable achievements"

These prompts ensure all optimized resumes follow your coaching program's specific style and standards.

2. Arrange Resume Sections

In the "Resume Section Configuration" area, drag sections to reorder them or add/remove sections based on your preferences.

Available sections include:

• Summary

• Highlights

• Experience

• Education

• Projects

• Core Competencies

• Certifications

• Awards

• Patents

• Languages

You can rename any of the sections as per your style.

Click Save Changes when you're done configuring.

Optimizing a Client Resume

Once your global settings are configured, you can optimize individual client resumes.

1. Navigate to the Client's Resume

Select your client from the Clients list, then click the Resume tab in the left sidebar.

You'll see the imported resume content, including skills pulled from their uploaded resume. The skills section shows all available skills with checkboxes for easy selection.

2. Run the Optimization

Click the Optimize Resume button in the top-right corner of the resume view.

3. Review AI Changes

After optimization completes, you'll see green highlights indicating where AI has made improvements to the resume content.

Review the changes carefully to ensure they align with your client's background and goals. Click Save to accept the optimized version.

Customizing Resume Design

After optimization, you can customize the resume's visual appearance and layout.

Choose a Template

Select between Classic and Modern templates to match your client's industry and personal brand.

Customize Colors

Click the Color tab to select a color palette that matches your client's branding or industry standards.

Adjust Layout Margins

Click the Layout tab to fine-tune spacing and alignment. You can adjust:

• Margins - Top, Left, Bottom, and Right

• Section gap - controls vertical spacing between different sections

• Text alignment - Left, Right and Full indentation/justification

Using AI to Improve Specific Sections

Beyond the global optimization, you can use AI to refine individual resume sections with custom prompts.

1. Expand the Section

Click on any section (e.g., Summary, Experience) in the left editing panel to expand it.

2. Click "Improve"

You'll see an Improve button for that section. Click it to open the AI prompt input.

3. Enter Your Prompt

Describe how you want the AI to improve the section. For example:

• "Make this crisper under 2 sentences"

• "Add more quantifiable results"

• "Rewrite in a more confident tone"

4. Review and Accept Changes

The AI will generate an improved version. You'll see a comparison between the Original and Improved versions.

Click Accept Changes to apply the improvement, or reject it to keep the original.

Managing Resume Sections

You have full control over which sections appear and in what order.

Toggle Section Visibility

Click the eye icon next to any section to show or hide it on the final resume. This is useful if a section like "Summary" isn't recommended for a particular client or industry.

Reorder Sections

Drag sections up or down in the editing panel to change the order they appear on the resume.

Edit Section Content

Click into any field (like Email, Phone, or individual work experiences) to manually edit the content.

Downloading the Resume

Once you're satisfied with the resume, click the Download icon in the top-right corner to export it as a PDF.

Your client can now use this polished, optimized resume for their job applications.
