A better place to write your resume
A full-screen editor with a docked assistant, page-break guides, a default resume style, and fonts and text styles that match your PDF.
The resume editor has been rebuilt. Your resume or cover letter now gets the whole screen, the assistant works beside the page, and what you see while editing matches the PDF you send: the same page breaks, the same fonts, and the same text styles after you save and come back.
A full-screen editor
Your document appears as a Letter-size page that scales to fit the window. The header shows which job posting you're working on and a Resume | Cover letter switch. Switching saves your pending edits first, and each document keeps its own undo history. Less-used toolbar buttons collapse into More tools when space runs short. Autosave runs quietly in the background, and pressing ⌘S (Ctrl+S on Windows) or Save now confirms the save with a short message.
Set a default style
Each template card has a checkmark in its corner. Click it to make that template your default. New resumes use it, and so does any resume you haven't restyled. Clicking the card itself still restyles only the resume you have open, so you can make an exception for one application without changing your default.
See where the page breaks
Dashed guides on the page show where page 2 (and page 3, if you get there) will begin. To make them reliable, we matched the editor's spacing to each template's print layout. On all five templates the editor's height is now within 1.5% of the PDF; before, it could run up to 38% taller. The guides are for editing only and never appear in the export.
An assistant beside the page
On wide screens the assistant is docked next to your document. Drag its edge to resize it, or focus the edge and use the arrow keys. Double-click the edge to reset it. However wide you drag it, the page keeps its full size, and the assistant remembers your width. The assistant reads the document and whatever you've selected. Select a bullet and it appears in the message box with a label like Experience · Senior Engineer at Initech · bullet 2, so you can ask about that one line.
Suggested edits you approve
When the assistant proposes a change, it shows up as a card in the chat, and the affected passage is highlighted in your document. Nothing changes until you choose Accept, and Discardremoves the suggestion. If several suggestions touch the same passage, you can step through them one at a time. Autosave never saves a suggestion you haven't accepted.
Free keyword coverage and an AI review
Two job-fit checks sit in the assistant, and only one uses AI. The Keyword coveragecard is free: it shows which of the posting's keywords appear in your document, matching whole words, and updates when you pause typing. Review against posting asks an AI model for a closer read, so it counts toward your AI usage. It suggests an edit only when it can point to evidence in your profile, and it asks you about certifications and other credentials instead of adding them.
Built for your phone too
On a narrow screen, a bottom bar keeps Undo, Redo, Format, and Ask AIwithin reach, and formatting opens in its own sheet. On iPhone the bar moves up above the keyboard, so the line you're typing on stays visible.
Text styles that survive a reload
Some formatting used to change after you saved and reopened a document. Text with both a text color and a background color lost its background. Subscript placed directly before superscript merged into one, so x₂² came back as x₂₂. A generated header could run your job title into your phone number. All three now reload exactly as you saved them. A document that already lost formatting can't be repaired automatically, so reapply the style once, or regenerate the resume to fix its header.
The same fonts in the editor and the PDF
The editor and the PDF export now load the same font files, which ship with CareerCraft instead of coming from a third-party font service. Italics in Inter, Geist, Merriweather, and Playfair Display use real italic typefaces; before, the export slanted the upright letters. Names with accents, including Vietnamese, and names in Cyrillic print in your template's font, and if a font ever fails to load, the export stops with an error instead of quietly using a substitute.
One thing that hasn't changed
PDFs still don't include images. An image in your document prints as its caption, and an image without a caption is left out. If you add an image, write a caption you'd be happy for a hiring manager to read in its place.
