Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Resumost

About the Resumost Platform

What is Resumost?

Resumost is an AI-powered career platform designed to help you strategize and accelerate your job search. We combine a real-time Job Explorer (a job discovery engine) with a powerful AI writer and a Career Hub to help you create perfectly tailored, ATS-friendly applications.

What makes the Resumost AI special?

Our platform uses a highly specialized AI system, purpose-built for career advancement. Unlike general-purpose AI, our models are specifically trained on millions of data points from successful resumes and job descriptions. This allows our AI to analyze the Job Description (JD) with unparalleled depth to generate a unique resume AND cover letter that are strategically tailored for that specific role.

What is the "Career Hub"?

The Career Hub is your personal command center. It's where you create your foundational Master Resume and manage your Jobs Tracker. From here, you can track every application, access all your tailored documents, and see your entire job search at a glance.

Can I upload my existing resume to get an analysis?

Yes! This is one of our most popular free features. Upload your current resume, and our AI will provide an instant, detailed analysis. It will score your resume against key metrics, identify areas for improvement, and check for ATS compatibility, giving you a clear roadmap for optimisation.

How long does it take to create a resume with Resumost?

You can create a professional, ATS-optimised first draft of your resume in under 10 minutes. The platform guides you step-by-step, and the AI provides instant content suggestions, eliminating writer's block and saving you hours of work.

Can I download my resume in different formats?

Absolutely. Once you are happy with your resume, you can instantly download it as a professional, universally compatible PDF. This ensures your formatting remains perfect on any device a recruiter uses to view it.

Features & How to Use Them

How do I get a resume and cover letter for a specific job?

First, add a job to your Jobs Tracker, either by finding it in our Job Explorer or by pasting the details from any source. Then, simply click "Create Resume" or "Create Cover Letter." Our AI will instantly analyze the JD and generate a new, tailored version of your documents based on your Master Resume.

What does "ATS-Optimized" mean?

Our AI analyzes job descriptions to ensure your resume includes the most relevant keywords, skills, and formatting that automated Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) look for. This maximizes your chances of getting past the initial screening and into the hands of a human recruiter.

Where do the jobs in the "Job Explorer" come from?

Our Job Explorer is powered by a third-party API that aggregates 7 million+ of live job listings from across the world, allowing you to discover and track opportunities without leaving our platform.

Data & Privacy

How is my resume data used by the AI?

When you generate a document, we send the relevant content from your resume and the target JD to our third-party AI model providers to create your tailored documents. We do not use your personal data to train our own models.

How do I delete my account and data?

Resume & Job Search Fundamentals

What is a resume and why is it crucial for my 2025 job search?

A resume is a concise document summarising your skills, experience, and education. In today's competitive job market, it's your primary marketing tool. A powerful resume doesn't just list your history; it strategically presents your value to a potential employer.
Our AI-powered platform helps you craft a compelling narrative, ensuring every word is optimised to catch the eye of recruiters and hiring managers, turning your resume into a powerful career-launching tool.

What's the difference between a Resume and a CV?

A Curriculum Vitae (CV) is a comprehensive, multi-page document detailing your entire academic and professional career. A resume is a brief, tailored summary of your most relevant qualifications for a specific job. In markets like Australia and the US, "resume" is the standard for most non-academic roles.
Whether you need a concise resume for a tech role in Sydney or a detailed CV for an academic post in Melbourne, our platform adapts. Resumost provides AI-driven suggestions and flexible formatting for any application.

How long should my resume be?

The standard expectation for most professionals is a one-to-two-page resume. For recent graduates, one page is ideal. For seasoned professionals with extensive relevant experience, three pages can be acceptable, but brevity is always valued by recruiters.
Our platform guides you on impact versus fluff. The AI helps you condense your experience into powerful, concise bullet points, and our professionally designed templates ensure maximum readability within the ideal length.

Do I still need a cover letter in 2025?

Yes, absolutely. While not always mandatory, a well-written cover letter is a huge opportunity to stand out. It allows you to showcase your personality, explain your motivation for applying, and connect your skills directly to the company's needs—something a resume can't do alone.
Resumost includes an AI Cover Letter Builder. It analyzes the job description and your resume to help you write a tailored, compelling cover letter in minutes, ensuring your application is cohesive and professional.

The Resumost AI Advantage

How does Resumost's AI help me write a better resume?

Our AI acts as your expert career co-pilot. It analyzes your experience against millions of data points and the specific job you're targeting. It then suggests high-impact phrases, relevant keywords, and ways to quantify your achievements, transforming your duties into compelling accomplishments.
We're not a generic text generator. Our AI writes with you, not for you, ensuring your resume is authentic, strategic, and engineered to beat Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).

What makes Resumost better than a free resume builder?

Free builders offer basic templates but lack intelligence. They can't help you with the most important part: the content. This often leads to a resume that looks nice but fails the critical ATS scan and doesn't impress recruiters.
Resumost is an investment in your career. We provide an end-to-end career acceleration platform with AI content suggestions, real-time ATS scoring, a cover letter builder, and strategic guidance to help you land more interviews.

Is Resumost suitable for my industry and experience level?

Yes. Our platform is designed for all career stages and industries, from students and recent graduates to senior executives. We have helped job seekers in tech, healthcare, finance, marketing, engineering, and more, right across Australia.
The platform is highly adaptable. You select your industry and experience level, and the AI tailors its suggestions accordingly, ensuring the language and skills highlighted are relevant to your specific field and career goals.

How does Resumost help with career changes or employment gaps?

Career changers and those with non-linear career paths benefit immensely from our strategic approach. Highlighting transferable skills is key.
Our AI excels at identifying transferable skills from your past roles. We offer functional and hybrid resume formats designed specifically to address career gaps and shifts, helping you build a powerful skills-based resume.
