Writing the application. Start in the resume builder, which produces a clean PDF in one of three layouts. If a specific bullet point is not landing, rebuild it in the bullet generator, which will not hand you a line that has no number in it. Then write the letter in the cover letter generator.

Checking it against the actual job. This is the step most people skip. The job description matcher compares a posting against your resume and tells you which required terms are missing, which appear only as an abbreviation, and which you have repeated so often it reads as stuffing. The resume checker covers the structural basics — length, contact details, section headings, and whether your achievements actually contain measurable results.

Preparing to interview. Generate a question set with the interview questions generator, then build real answers in the STAR answer builder, which checks that your answer names a result, is written in the first person, and fits inside ninety seconds of speech.

Deciding on the offer. The offer comparison calculator puts two or three offers side by side on total compensation rather than base salary, which is usually where the real difference hides. The salary converter makes hourly and salaried offers comparable, and the commute cost calculator subtracts what the drive actually costs you.

What these tools deliberately do not do

None of them predict whether you will get an interview, and none of them produce an "ATS score". No tool can do either of those things honestly, and a number that looks precise but means nothing is worse than no number at all. The pay calculators estimate gross figures and do not model your full tax position. Where a calculator uses a published rate or limit, that value is stamped with its year and linked to its source so you can check it yourself.

The full list of what every check does, and where each figure comes from, is on the methodology page.

Questions about these tools

Are all of these tools really free?

Yes, all of them, with no account and no limit on how many times you use them. There is no paid tier to upgrade to.

Does anything I type get uploaded?

No. Every tool on this page runs entirely in your browser. Your resume, your salary figures, and your application list never leave your device. That also means we cannot recover them for you — export anything you want to keep.

How accurate are the pay calculators?

The arithmetic is exact, and each calculator states its assumptions on its own page. Where a calculator uses a published figure — a mileage rate, a contribution limit, a wage base — that figure is stamped with its year and linked to the primary source, and you can override it. None of them model your full tax situation, and none of them are tax or legal advice.

Which tool should I start with?

If you are applying to a specific job, start with the resume builder, then run the result through the job description matcher against that posting. If you are weighing an offer, start with the job offer comparison calculator.

Do you use AI to generate my documents?

No. The writing tools use structured templates and validation rules that run offline in your browser. They organize and check what you give them rather than inventing content.
