I tested 5 AI resume builders to help get a job — here's what happened

Here’s how to apply for a job using AI

Man holding resume in front of a computer

I long for the day when I’ll wake up in the morning and get my AI ready to go to work for me . Until that time comes, the least AI could do for me today is to help me land a job I like.

Not everyone is a fan of resume and cover letters, but they remain staples in many recruitment processes.

For years, employers have also been using forms of AI to filter through these documents in order to narrow down the pool of applications they receive for any given vacancy.

The latest advances in generative AI mean that right now employees can leverage AI tools at their disposal to empower themselves in the job-hunting process.

I wanted to see how powerful these tools are. To find out, I created a shortlist of AI resume and cover letter builders that I wanted to try. Tom’s Guide believes in fair fights, so I used each of them as though I was applying for the same job with the same profile.

A target was required and I found a LinkedIn ad for a real job as a remote Software Engineer with generative AI responsibilities at Meta (formerly Facebook) that looked promising.

The role asked for a candidate with over two years of coding experience and over two years of building large-scale applications. More experience was required in designing and completing medium to large features without guidance. Meta was looking for a candidate with, or in the process of obtaining, a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or equivalent practical experience. In exchange, the company was offering a salary between $116k and $168k per year.

I created a fictitious aspiring Meta software engineer, Tamsin Smith, in order to have some kind of profile I could submit to the AI. Smith holds two Stanford University degrees in computing science, completed an internship with Twitter and has been working at Google as a software engineer since 2019.

If that’s not enough for Mark Zuckerberg to give her an offer, she also leads a local scouting group in her free time.

With an actual job ad and an alter ego in hand, I was ready to start reviewing AI tools. Read on to find out which tools I used, what they produced and my thoughts on their performance.

My first attempt was with Rezi.ai since it offers a free basic service and I wanted to check if the way I designed the review could work in principle. And it did!

Right after confirming my email, I was creating Tamsin Smith’s first resume.

I was presented with a choice between a “Job-Tailored Resume” and a “General Purpose Resume”; I went with the first choice as it was exactly what this test was about. It asked me for the role and company I’m targeting but I was blindsided when Rezi asked me to insert a job application I’d written for the role. Isn’t this something the AI should be doing for me?

I finished this side quest and then added basic details like my name and email, followed by my previous work experience. Here’s when I first encountered signs of AI life in the form of a bullet point generator to further explain my role.

Rezi went on to ask me to add details on projects I’d worked on, my education history, certifications, coursework, involvement in other organizations, and my skills.

The next exciting step was the summary section, where I gladly let the AI take control. It was nothing I couldn’t have come up with myself if I simply wanted to summarize my resume, but it at least merits a pass mark. (I wanted to ask the AI to write a cover letter for me based on the finished resume but that feature requires a subscription.)

Overall Rezi marked the resume it produced at 87 out of 100, which I think is a bit too generous. If you have a rough idea of what you want your resume to look like, by all means, use Rezi so you don’t have to worry about the formatting. It might also provide a helpful AI-generated bullet point or two along the way.

If you were worried that not using Rezi’s AI was the one thing stopping you from getting your dream job, rest assured that (at least with its free version) this is not the case.

My score: 3/5

Resumaker.ai

“Designed templates that will get you hired at the world's leading companies,” Resumaker proudly displayed on its homepage. I also had to pay ($0.99) to download my resume and cover letter. Surely, I was on the verge of getting Tamsin hired?

By now I’d gotten the hang of inserting details like my education and work history. In this regard, little separates the resume builders tested here.

The AI kicked in to provide me with text I could insert as accomplishments in my jobs and as the headline summary. The latter left much to be desired but at least it was presentable. Resumaker didn’t offer to beef up my volunteering section so I had to write that part manually. As a whole, the resume felt a bit dry but at least it was presentable.

However, it’s a good thing this service isn’t called Coverlettermaker. Every sentence it generated started with either an “I am” or “I have”. When you’re working with such a structure, there’s only so much you can do to make the rest more exciting. Furthermore, it left the [Company Name] field for me to fill in. AI that’s supposed to help me land a job in a highly competitive market should come with higher standards.

Resumaker.ai claims that thousands of applications it created landed people jobs. If there’s any truth to that, then on the bright side we really shouldn’t be overthinking what we’re sending to hiring managers.

The main question I asked myself before deciding whether each AI builder deserved a pass mark was: Can I send out the résumé as is?

Teal didn’t quite make the cut here.

It asked me to connect the specific job I was applying for from LinkedIn to the resume and it started analyzing the job ad for keywords I should include. Fantastic! I was ready for a made-to-measure summary, past accomplishments, and cover letter — the areas where I wanted the AI to work its magic.

Unfortunately, this is where I felt let down. In the headline summary, Teal ended up giving me a compilation of the achievements it had previously generated but also prominently added that I had expertise in “work authorization”. The AI thought the right to work in the U.S. requirement from Meta’s job description was a hard skill.

It scored its own resume at 79%.

As far as its cover letter goes, I appreciated that I could generate it for free without having to spend time adding more details than I already had. However, the result was something I could have just as easily written myself.

My score: 2/5

Kickresume.com

The last AI resume maker I wanted to test was Kickresume, which had the highest monthly fee out of the lot at $19 per month. You can bring that down by paying an annual lump sum that brings the pricing down to $9 a month or, as I did, utilize the free trial version.

Right when I was losing hope in the resume generators, Kickresume lifted my spirits.

Its helpful AI writer was alongside me from start to finish, offering handy suggestions for work accomplishments, explaining my certifications, and also suggesting skills I should list specifically for a software engineering position. I ended up with a clean-looking CV and I didn’t even have to break a sweat.

Kickresume gave the resume it generated a score of 88/100.

If I’m in a pinch and need a new resume that I don’t have to scan for AI-generated sentences that would land me in the "rejected" pile, Kickresume.com is the first website I’ll be visiting.

I wanted to add a nice cherry to the cake, so I asked Kickresume to create a cover letter using the great resume it made. But this is where I was underwhelmed.

While devoid of grammatical errors, I felt as though the AI didn’t take the résumé and job description I gave into consideration. It provided me with a few short lines that didn’t even name-drop Tamsin’s fictitious stints at Twitter and Google. You wouldn’t even know she completed two degrees at Stanford. Based on my positive experience with the résumé, I couldn’t believe this was the same AI content generator.

My score: 4/5

No subscriptions. No plugins. I wanted to see how well the free version of OpenAI ’s ChatGPT would do against the four dedicated AI resume and cover letter generators listed above.

I tweaked a prompt that I found online and, in 161 words, I asked the AI for a first draft of my new resume. I then asked the chatbot to refine its work based on the job description I gave it to make my resume less generic. In seconds, I had my second draft.

Since ChatGPT only gave me a plain text version of my resume, I then pasted what it gave me into a template from one of the previous builders.

I’m happy to announce that both myself and Tamsin were very pleased with the results. The resume easily rivals the ones generated from the other services I tested. I wouldn’t have minded some text to beef up the education section to explain what I had learned at Stanford. Also, the line pointing out that Meta was previously called Facebook is something I would never have included in a resume intended for Meta’s eyes. Other than that, ChatGPT gave me decent results in the shortest amount of time.

I was especially impressed with the cover letter I asked ChatGPT to craft for me. It was perhaps a bit too long for some tastes but it was arguably the most well-rounded out of the five.

Honorary score: 4/5

The verdict

There have already been reports of people using AI to write resumes and cover letters who ended up getting hired for the positions they’ve applied for, and I’m not surprised. But as this test has shown, a website’s claim that it uses AI to provide a service is not some kind of guarantee of the level of service you can expect.

Shop around when looking for AI resume and cover letter writers. Perhaps combine two or more of them to leverage each one’s specific strengths. But add the finishing touches yourself.

AI resume builder FAQs

What is an ai resume builder.

An AI resume builder is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to assist users in creating their resumes. These tools often have features like customized templates, content suggestions, optimization for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), custom tailoring, feedback, and revision options.

What features does Enhancv’s AI resume builder offer?

Enhancv offers a range of AI features to help you create your resume with ease:

Templates and customization: AI resume builders typically offer a variety of templates that users can choose from. These templates are designed to be both visually appealing and to meet the standards expected in different industries.
ChatGPT-powered resume content writing and suggestions: Enhancv suggests content based on your input. For example, after entering your job history, you will receive suggestions for expanding upon your professional accomplishments or skills that align with your experience.
Optimization for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS): These systems are used by employers to screen resumes before they are seen by a human. Our builder suggests keywords and phrases that are likely to be favorable in these systems based on your job title.
Feedback and revision suggestions: we’ve got a resume checker that provides feedback on the overall quality of the resume, including suggestions for improving layout, grammar, and wording.

How do I use ChatGPT on my resume?

You can use ChatGPT on your resume for a range of activities, related to resume building, including:

Rewriting or writing from scratch difficult-to-write resume sections, such as your resume summary and job descriptions.
Making your resume bullet points more action and performance-oriented.
Suggesting skills and other keywords to include in your resume based on a job title.
Suggesting extra sections that can help you stand out from the crowd.
Using your resume as a starting point for an interview preparation mockup.
Using your resume as a base for writing your cover letter.

Can recruiters tell if my resume was written by ChatGPT?

As long as your application is customized with your job history and accomplishments, it’s unlikely that recruiters can tell if you used ChatGPT. ChatGPT can only help improve your resume writing, but lying on a resume is unacceptable.

Are resumes scanned by AI?

Resumes in some companies are scanned by an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) which may or may not have AI features. These systems parse resumes and match them with job descriptions. Enhancv’s resume templates are tested for ATS compatibility, though a 100% parsing rate is not guaranteed due to varying ATS models because the content of the resume is more important for ATS-friendliness than the template itself.

Enhancv Executive has changed my life: One week & four interviews later, I will be making 150% more doing the job I chose.

AI Resume Writer FAQ

While we’ve tried to make this tool as easy to use as possible, it’s okay to have questions. If you don’t find your answers here, contact our customer support.

What is Kickresume AI Resume Writer?

Kickresume AI Resume Writer is based on OpenAI’s GPT-3 neural network which is a powerful language model able to produce texts that are indistinguishable from texts written by human writers.

In other words, the AI Resume Writer does exactly what you’d think it would — automatically writes your resume.

All you have to do is enter your job title, click “Use AI Writer” and the AI will generate a number of bullet points for your work experience subsection.
If you don't like these bullet points, you can either edit them or delete them and click the button again.
If you like the bullet points but feel like that section is still too short, simply click the button again and the AI will add more phrases to it.

But naturally, since the text is written by AI and not you, you still need to tweak some details in the end. Nevertheless, it can still help you write your first draft.

Is the AI Resume Writer free?

Even with a free account, you get a limited number of uses. Every premium subscription (starting at $5/month) includes a substantially higher number of AI requests.

At the beginning of every billing period, credits are added to your account (whether it’s a month, three months, or a year).

GPT-3 is a paid tool and we have to pay Open-AI for every API request. We’re “buying” the use of their AI technology. Because of that, we had to put a limit on how many times you can use the AI Writer per month.

Kickresume’s AI Resume Writer is able to generate a work experience section based on a provided job title.

All you have to do is:

Sign up or log in to your Kickresume account. When logged in, on the dashboard scroll down to Your Documents and click on Create New.
When filling in the Work Experience section, enter your job title, click “ Use AI Writer ” and the AI will generate a number of bullet points for your work experience subsection.

Our AI Resume Builder is easy to use, generates unique resumes every time, and uses natural language indistinguishable from resumes written by human writers.

Learn more about how an AI Resume Builder compares to a traditional resume writer in this article .

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

As a rule of thumb, if you’re applying for positions in the US or Canada, a resume is the most commonly accepted format. However, for academic, research or scientific roles, a CV is more appropriate, which is a longer form of document.

In contrast, The term “CV” is more commonly used in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia for job applications and is equivalent to the American resume.

Careerpilot’s Resume Builder can help you create both a Resume or a CV. Check out this article to find out more about when to use a Resume vs. CV.

The 5 best AI resume builders in 2024

Hero image with the logos of the best AI resume builders

Searching for a job is becoming a job of its own. With so many open positions, tests, and interview stages, joining the workforce of moving up is becoming harder. And with screening software automatically disqualifying candidates, the chances to get some 1-on-1 time with recruiters grow thin.

But you have something powerful in your corner: AI-powered resume builders can help you generate a starting resume from scratch, optimize an existing one, and help you adapt it to every single job opening you're going for. With dozens of AI resume builders to choose from out there—many of them acting like copies of one another—it can be hard to choose the best one for you.

I spent time testing every resume creator I could get my hands on, and these are my picks for the five best.

The 5 best AI resume builders

What makes the best ai resume builder, how we evaluate and test apps.

Given all that, here's what I looked for in the best AI resume builders:

Accuracy and relevance. Not all AI implementations are tuned the same way, so those that turned up general advice or content that didn't match my job were excluded.

Design and layout. Style is the first step to making a good impression, so I looked for the resume creators with the best templates and design controls.

Optimized for ATS. Most resumes get caught up in screening nets and never see human eyes. To make sure that's not your fate, these resume builders offer clean templates and scoring systems that help you get past the filter.

Adaptation. Not all of your experiences and skills make sense for each different job opening, so the best AI resume creators will offer ways to tune your content based on the target opening.

I tested these resume apps over the course of three weeks using a variety of methods. I generated resumes from scratch using the suggested step-by-step processes, uploaded my materials in PDF form and watched them get rearranged, and pasted a link to my LinkedIn profile and let the resume builder do the rest. Now that I'm swimming in resumes, take a look at the results.

Having a resume and a cover letter in your hands is only the first step. If you don't send it out, no one will really know who you are or see your value. Action is important, and Teal will definitely help you get into gear.

During onboarding, it wants to know your current situation, whether you've just graduated or accumulated decades of experience. You can enter your desired position, target total compensation, and indicate the ideal time to find or switch to a new job. After you fill these in, they'll always display on your dashboard—a quick summary of where you are and where you want to go.

There's more as far as job search productivity goes. There's a pipeline that shows the stages of the job searching process (for example, not applied > application sent > interviewing), so you can track your application process for multiple openings. As something changes in the status of an application, be sure to update it on the platform.

Teal never mentions that it optimizes its resumes for ATS, but there's a good collection of text-based templates, and the scoring system is pretty good at helping you match who you are to what they need. If you have trouble tracking how all your applications are going at the same time, Teal will remove the overwhelm and help you stick to the plan as much as possible.

Teal price: Free plan available with limited AI usage for resume achievements (5), professional summaries (2) and cover letter (1). Paid plans start at $9/week.

Best resume builder for building with an AI assistant

Feeling lost while putting together your resume? Enhancv offers an AI assistant that'll help you get everything you need down on the page.

If you've been keeping your LinkedIn profile up to date, you can pull your resume from there. Enhancv will adapt the information it finds there and lay it out in the platform, ready to edit. Once you have a first draft of your resume, click on the AI Assistant to explore the possibilities. Unlike ChatGPT, there's no actual chat input where you'll write prompts—not always, at least. Instead, you can click the commands on the screen to get it to optimize your resume. For example, you can ask to rewrite your title and headline, highlight your strengths, or create suggestions for new bullets. As you click through these options, the preview on the right will update with the new information and suggestions.

The AI Assistant will also help you create a cover letter. It's important that this document is as tailored to the job opening as possible, which is why it asks that you paste in the description. Once you click to create, it will actually display on your dashboard, not on the current screen. Click back to it on the top of the screen, open it, and edit everything until it's sharp enough.

To make sure that you get that face time, there's also a button for running the ATS check. This is a resume scoring feature, running through the entire text to find opportunities to optimize your material. It's a paid feature, so if you're serious about getting the best, consider hopping on the paid plan while you're hunting for a new position.

If you have a mentor or helpful friends and family, you can share your resume with them, and they can leave comments on it. Very helpful to combine AI-powered insights with real human reviews.

Enhancv price: 7-day free trial; from $13.32/month (billed semi-annually) or $24.99/month (billed monthly)

Best AI resume builder for generating a resume from scratch

Teal, our pick for the best resume builder for generating a resume from scratch

Writing a resume for the first time? Or just not happy with the one you currently have? Kickresume's AI tools can put a first draft into your hands and give you the tools to optimize it into a powerful job-searching tool.

To begin, click the New Resume with AI button. The app opens a chat experience, asking questions about you. It starts with your name and current job position. After that, pick your favorite template, and the AI starts generating. I was a bit skeptical here: will it be able to generate something on-point with so little information? Well, color me impressed: I got a starter resume with an original profile summary, on-point bullets on my work experience, appropriate skills and strengths, and even a set of hobbies.

This is just the beginning of Kickresume's AI features, though. Click the AI Toolbox on the left side of the screen to see what I mean. Here's a tour:

When editing your resume, you can use the AI writer in every section to generate or rewrite parts of it.

As you write, the document is being scored in the background: click the Analysis tab and follow the directions to improve the quality of your resume.

Need to practice some interview questions? Enter your desired job title to get Q&As, along with a brief hint of what the recruiter is trying to understand when asking that question.

The career coach recommends learning resources you should get to know to land your desired job. I've got a few new Coursera courses on my radar now.

When you feel you've got a good resume on your hands, you can get some human-powered insights too: you can purchase a proofreading service to make sure grammar is on point and that readability is good. With such a complete toolset, Kickresume will get you from empty-handed to ready to land your next job.

Kickresume price: Free plan available without AI features; from $7/month (billed annually) or $19/month (billed monthly)

Best AI resume builder for leveraging your LinkedIn profile

First, download your LinkedIn profile as a PDF: open your profile page, and click the More button just below your name and tagline. Hit that Save to PDF button, and save it to your computer. Once you upload it to Resume Worded, you'll get a step-by-step scoring and breakdown, offering tips on how to complete your profile with all the information you need. And hey, once you do this for LinkedIn, you can repeat the download as PDF action to get a fresh resume for a fraction of the effort, if you'd like.

If that baseline doesn't work for you, you can still build it inside Resume Worded. The button is hidden on the right side of the dashboard: scroll down to Additional Resources , and click the Don't have a resume? tab. You can browse the ATS-optimized templates, with explanations as to why each one works and how to leverage the structure to pass the automated checks. It's not a free feature, though: you'll have to buy your favorite template before you start customizing it.

To wrap up this useful feature set, you can also adapt your resume to job openings, with a similar user experience to others on this list: after pasting the job description, Resume Worded compares your resume with the requirements, offering a score to show you how far away you are from it. And whenever you log back in to keep working on it, you can access your resume and LinkedIn profile scores, so you know how long it's going to take to get that perfectly optimized resume.

Resume Worded price: Limited free plan; from $19/month (billed annually) or $49/month (billed monthly)

Best resume builder for adapting your resume as you browse jobs

Personalization is everything in job searching. When you tailor your experience and skills to the job descriptions, you hit all the positive signals that recruiters are looking for. ResumeNerd can help you laser in and exceed expectations.

Complete the onboarding, and add your resume to the platform. There's a step-by-step flow to make sure you add everything about you, your skills, and your experiences. At the end of the process, you can choose one of the templates, each with a short description of why it rocks. Pick the color that you like the most and move forward to the last step. You'll always be able to add new sections if needed. Caveat: you can only download it as a TXT file for free—all other formats are locked behind the paid plan.

Back on the dashboard, you'll notice that ResumeNerd scores your current resume. When you click to see all the improvements you should make, there's a list of issues you can tackle to bring the score all the way up to 1,000. Keep adding more details to make sure that document is the most accurate representation of your professional life.

After you add your resume to the platform, click the jobnerd button at the top of the screen. There's a job feed there with the day's suggestions of jobs that fit your skills, with a percentage score of how much your resume is matching the description. You can click to see the job opening's details. While there, ResumeNerd is detecting the skills the company is looking for, and it offers you shortcuts to add those skills to your resume, ensuring you're matching what they're looking for.

On the right side of the job posting, you can click to generate a cover letter based on your resume and the job posting you're currently looking at. Sadly, it doesn't actually generate anything with AI—it's a stock template that you have to customize with your own data manually. Fill out the placeholder data with your personal information, and give it a good proofread to make sure you're hitting all the targets.

When you're ready to apply, you can click the link within the platform. You'll be taken to the original posting's page and you can do everything you need to apply. This is a nice shortcut to get you to apply to more jobs. Keep repeating this flow for all other positions that you're interested in, and those interviews are sure to come along soon.

One warning: you can use ResumeNerd on the cheap for a couple weeks, but the price will go up significantly after that, so keep an eye on those subscription costs.

ResumeNerd price: From $2.75 for 2 weeks; the price goes up after that

Can AI write a good resume?

As with most things generative AI, resume builders are good starting point, but you shouldn't rely on them to get you from zero to complete on their own. Use AI to get a few good ideas and do some research: How much did your work with your previous company improve revenue? Did any of your projects have a big impact in daily operations? Are there any notable achievements? AI gets the ball rolling, but it's up to you to score the goal.

At the same time, be sure to rewrite parts of the generated content to make it match to your personality and original voice. While an AI-optimized resume may get through the ATS systems, a recruiter may be able to tell that a resume has a lot of generated content and toss it in the digital trash. If someone's looking to hire a human, they want to see that humanity from the start.

With the help of AI, you don't have to invest as much time writing a resume or cover letters from scratch. You can now dedicate more time to strategy and personalization, ensuring you get through automated screenings, land more interviews, and secure your dream job.

Improve your productivity automatically. Use Zapier to get your apps working together.

What is an AI resume builder?

An AI resume builder is an online tool that leverages artificial intelligence technology to assist in creating professional resumes. AI algorithms analyze your personal information and generate content suggestions like skills descriptions, achievements, and job summaries to quickly build out a polished resume.

That’s the benefit of artificial intelligence , you can accomplish hours of work within minutes.

What is the best AI resume builder?

While there are several quality AI resume builders, Rezi is among the best for its holistic AI-driven approach to creating high-impact resumes. The AI writing assistant provides tailored feedback and suggestions for enhancing bullet points, skills summaries, cover letters, and more.

As part of the full Rezi platform, you also gain access to AI-optimized resume templates, job search insights, and other helpful career management tools.

Can I use AI to write my resume?

AI is a powerful tool for complementing your resume writing process, but should not be relied upon exclusively to generate your entire resume. While AI algorithms are impressive at creating resumes, your human expertise, and context about specific experiences are still necessary to craft a compelling, well-rounded resume.

Use AI as an assistant for streamlining and optimizing your resume, but manually customize outputs for the most personalized results. Not generating the exact thing you need is still one of the limitations of AI .

Are AI resume builders any good?

AI resume builders can be extremely helpful tools for job seekers to quickly create polished, high-impact resumes. By leveraging AI algorithms trained on vast resume datasets, these tools provide tailored suggestions for communicating your background persuasively.

However, while AI can streamline the writing process, human oversight is still required to customize content. When used strategically, AI resume builders can save significant time and effort compared to manual resume writing.

Can ChatGPT generate resumes?

Yes, the latest natural language AI models like ChatGPT can be leveraged to generate complete resume drafts remarkably quickly. Simply provide some details about your career background, skills, and achievements, and ChatGPT will synthesize all the inputs to produce a full resume with content for all the key sections. The results can serve as a solid starting draft to refine further.

Are there any 100% free resume builders?

Most of the top AI resume-building tools have a free plan besides premium plans. Teal , for example, offers most of its features for free including downloading your resume. You’ll get access to hundreds of resume templates and be able to create unlimited versions of your resume completely free.

But it’s not 100% free and that’s the case for almost all the tools. I think it’s not a bad thing though, to spend some money to get a professional-looking resume that can land you your next big job, right?

Final Words

AI resume builders are revolutionizing the resume creation process by enabling job seekers to generate persuasive, polished resumes in record time. The AI-powered resume builders covered in this guide each take slightly different approaches in terms of their underlying AI technology and specific feature sets.

But they all aim to provide an intuitive, engaging experience leveraging AI to suggest resume content tailored to your background. The end result is a high-impact resume that positions you well for more interviews and job offers.

Take advantage of the AI revolution to craft an exceptional resume today.

5 Best AI Resume Builders to Consider in 2024

As if they weren't already part of almost every aspect of our lives, robots—or more specifically, artificial intelligence—can now assist you in finding a job . AI resume builders have emerged as powerful tools for creating impressive resumes effortlessly. But with so many options available, which AI resume builders are truly worth your money (or time, considering many are free), and which ones offer the highest chances of success?

In this article we’ll explore the top AI resume builders for 2024, taking a deep look into their features, benefits, and costs. We’ve gathered insights from an AI analyst, an employment lawyer, a CEO/head of HR, and a cybersecurity specialist, so you’ll have all the information you need.

Put AI to work, then get your resume out there — apply for these open jobs on The Muse »

Can you create a resume with AI?

Yes, you can make a resume with AI, and it's easier than you might think. While traditional resume builders offer templates and formatting options, AI resume builders take it a step further by leveraging advanced algorithms to analyze job descriptions and match them with your skills and experiences.

“Using AI tools to create a resume is perfectly acceptable and can be highly beneficial, as they can help streamline the resume-building process,” says Sean Smith, CEO and former head of HR in charge of hiring at Alpas Wellness .

This not only saves time but also ensures your resume is optimized for applicant tracking systems (ATSs), which can significantly increase your chances of getting noticed by employers.

An ATS is software that employers use to streamline the recruitment process. It automates the sorting and filtering of resumes by scanning for specific keywords, skills, and qualifications that match the job description, then ranks applicants based on their relevance.

Tips for using an AI resume builder the right way

It's OK to let the AI help with a resume—but it's important to do it the right way. “While AI tools offer several advantages, such as efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and consistency in style, it's crucial to approach them with care and consideration,” says Michael Robert, cybersecurity specialist, AI expert and senior technical contributor at GTA Boom .

“You need a draft to serve as a starting point,” says Mitchell Cookson, AI analyst and co-founder of AI Tools Inc . “Don't let an AI tool generate your resume from scratch because it may not accurately reflect your skills, experiences, and personality. Instead, let it help you with formatting and structure to make your resume clean and professional.”

There are many ways to efficiently and successfully use an artificial intelligence resume builder. Follow these tips to get the most out of using an AI resume builder:

Provide accurate information

Incorrect information can lead to a misleading resume and potentially harm your job prospects. “Stay honest,” Smith says. “Make sure all information is truthful and represents your qualifications and experiences.”

Customize for each job application

You can use AI to write resumes tailored to specific job descriptions, customizing the final output for each application. Highlight the skills and experiences that are most relevant to the job you're applying for.

“If the job description requires specific skills, you can paste your draft into it and ask it to include the skills in the job description in your resume appropriately,” Cookson says. (For more advice on this, here's how to read a job description the right way .)

Use keywords strategically

Applicant tracking systems often scan resumes for specific keywords related to the job. Make sure to include relevant keywords in your resume to improve its chances of passing through these systems.

(Check out our tips on how to pick resume keywords that'll get your job application past the ATS .)

Include soft skills

“AI only highlights hard skills and quantifiable achievements ,” Cookson says. “Therefore, it’s your responsibility to include personal attributes that are important to potential employers.”

Soft skills are often more subjective and timeless compared to hard skills—think communication, problem-solving, and attention to detail. Be sure to pinpoint your own soft skills and include them on your resume.

Proofread the final output

AI tools can make suggestions, but they aren't perfect. “Be mindful not to over-automate the process,” Cookson says. “Always review and edit the AI-generated content to ensure accuracy and a personal touch.”

Be aware of legal repercussions

“It's crucial to verify that all details, such as employment history, qualifications, and accomplishments, are factual,” says employment lawyer Edward Hones . “Misrepresentation or exaggeration can lead to legal repercussions, such as claims of fraud or misrepresentation, and can harm your professional credibility and employment prospects.”

Also, be cautious about the confidentiality of your personal data. “Ensure that the AI service you choose has strong data protection measures and complies with relevant data privacy laws,” Hones says.

On that note—wondering which AI resume builders you should use? Below, you'll find a list of some of the best options to consider, including some expert favorites.

5 of the best AI resume builders to consider

These AI resume builders were picked for how easy they are to use, how well they let you customize your resume for different jobs, and how good they are at getting through applicant tracking systems. We also looked at how smart their AI features are, the variety and quality of resume templates, and any extra tools they offer.

1. Resume.io

Best for: job seekers looking for an easy-to-use tool with plenty of template options.

Resume.io makes it easy and efficient to create professional resumes. Its AI-powered content analysis gives you real-time feedback, so your resume is polished and ready to go.

Zety stands out with its extensive customization options and step-by-step resume creation process. The AI helps tailor your resume to specific job descriptions, and the platform also offers a cover letter builder, making it a comprehensive tool for job seekers.

While the free version is limited, the premium features, such as access to Bold.Pro (a professional networking site) and Big Interview (actionable, step-by-step training), may justify the cost for some users.

Wide range of templates
Built-in cover letter generator
Somewhat limited free features; additional templates, customization options, and advanced features available with the $7.95/month premium subscription

Is there a free resume builder?

Yes. If you want a free AI resume builder, all of the above can be used for free. Resume.io and Resume Genius provide a resume builder AI free version, though they may come with ads and limited functionality compared to the premium version.

Zety, Rezi, and Enhancv also offer limited functionality for free but generally require a subscription or one-time payment to access their full range of features and templates.

Can ChatGPT write a resume?

Of course. You can always turn to the reliable Chat GPT. “I have also tested GPT-4, and I liked how it made the language in my test resume more striking,” Cookson says.

That said, even the best AI resume builder can’t fully replace your own perspective on your career experience and goals.

“While AI can be a helpful tool in the resume-building process, it should not be relied upon entirely,” Robert says “The key is to strike a balance between leveraging the efficiency of AI and infusing your own voice and experiences to create an authentic representation of yourself.”

AI Resume Writer Frequently Asked Questions

How does an ai resume writer work.

An AI resume writer analyzes thousands of existing resumes across industries and job titles to learn how to write the perfect resume for any application. Simply input basic information such as your current job title and skills, and let our AI resume writer generate text for your resume’s summary and work experience sections.

Can my AI resume be personalized to each job I apply to?

AI resumes are the perfect option when you’re applying for many positions, because they allow you to personalize each resume quickly and efficiently. Whether you choose to personalize the content manually, or request changes from the AI itself, our AI resume builder can generate unlimited personalized resumes.

How effective are resumes generated by an AI resume writer?

Resumes generated by an AI resume writer are just as effective, if not more effective, than traditional, manually written resumes. Because our AI resume writer has analyzed so many effective resumes, it understands exactly what to say to help you stand apart from the crowd and catch a hiring manager’s attention, fast.

How long does it take to build a resume using AI?

An AI resume can take just minutes to build. Once you’ve input your information, VisualCV’s AI resume writer will generate your content in a matter of seconds. After that, it’s up to you how much or how little you’d like to change the content or add any extra sections, such as skills, to your resume.

What information should I provide an AI resume writer?

The more information you provide an AI resume writer, the better. However, VisualCV’s AI resume writer can create resume summaries and resume work experience entries using minimal information, such as your industry and level of experience. For example, telling the AI resume writer that you work in finance and your current job title is portfolio manager will lead the AI writer to create content based on previously analyzed portfolio manager resumes. This approach may require more editing on your end, but can be a great jumping off point when you’re feeling stuck. On the other hand, if you include more information about your accomplishments at your current position, the AI resume builder can give your work experience or summary sections that extra bit of polish you’re looking for.

Will my resume pass Applicant Tracking System (ATS) software?

All of VisualCV’s professionally designed resume templates have been formulated specifically to pass ATS software. Using our AI resume builder will not impact your resume’s ability to be seen by a real person in any way!

Should I use an AI resume writer, or a professional resume writer?

Whether to use AI or a professional resume writer can be a tricky decision, but, in general, our AI resume builder is a perfect jumping off point when you’re not sure how to begin writing. If your career has been especially long, you have many jobs to speak about, or your journey can be difficult or complicated to explain in a resume, you might find it easier to work with a (human) professional resume writer. However, the majority of resumes are straightforward and perfect candidates for our AI resume writer.

Can I make edits to my resume after the AI resume writer creates it?

You can always edit your resume in VisualCV’s resume builder after our AI resume writer has created it. If you aren’t happy with the content the AI resume builder provides, you can either edit the existing content or regenerate the provided content for a new suggestion.

5 ai resume builders you should try in 2024.

A resume builder should not be used as a magic wand, but it can certainly reduce anxiety in the job ... [+] search process and help you process your thoughts, skills and experiences in a way that will resonate with the recruiting team

In your quest to create the perfect resume, no doubt you've encountered several AI (artificial intelligence) applications all supposedly guaranteeing the same promise: to be able to save you time, worry, and stress, and generate a shiny new document that will get you past the gatekeepers and secure an initial interview.

If you've never used a generative AI tool before, you might be concerned and initially apprehensive.

And you should be.

After all, you don't want to take any chances and wreck an entire application that has already taken considerable painstaking effort.

With the plethora of options you have to choose from, it might be overwhelming to know which resume builders are worth your money (if you do need to pay anything at all) and which ones have the highest chances of success.

But as long as you follow these guidelines to make your resume with AI, you'll be on the right track:

How To Find A Good Resume Builder

When looking for a resume builder, you will need to carefully weigh up several factors including:

Ease of navigation and user experience
Your budget and pricing options available—including any free trials or free plans you might be able to take advantage of
Trustpilot and Product Hunt reviews, Reddit discussions and reviews, and even asking your professional connections on LinkedIn
Value for the price
Comparison of features and customization options—customization is extremely important for your resume to be effective

Best High-Yield Savings Accounts Of 2024

Best 5% interest savings accounts of 2024.

A note on ATS compatibility: Applicant tracking systems are becoming more modernized, and as such, some features that would have been rendered unreadable and disqualify you from a position (such as double columns) are now accessible thanks to updated parsing technology, according to an Enhancv study .

However, it's worth bearing in mind that according to the study, a resume built with Canva or Microsoft Word tends to fare better overall without double columns—a 93% success rate compared to an 86% success rate for double columns.

At the same time, using a different software such as Google Docs yields an impressive 99% success rate, regardless of whether the resume was created with a single or double column.

5 AI-Powered Resume Builders

Below are five positively-reviewed AI-powered resume builder tools you can use to make your application truly stand out to hiring managers. Some, such as Enhancv, are tested against ATS software (applicant tracking systems that recruiters use to help screen candidate resumes) to ensure full compatibility:

How To Use A Resume Builder

Whichever resume builder you decide to use from the list above, it's essential to understand that AI is not a quick fix. While it certainly provides much needed assistance as you figure out how to make a resume that truly stands out to employers, you will need to ensure that you double check the final output for grammatical issues, spelling mistakes, inconsistencies, needless repetitions, and a lack of human flow in the writing style—all of which can be obvious tell-tale signs that your resume was written by AI.

Additionally, while AI can help with formatting and readability, you need to ensure that the final document reflects who you really are and is one that you are personally happy and comfortable with.

Using a resume builder doesn't take away from the fact that you need to sell yourself effectively. AI will only provide impetus to what you already have. An AI-powered resume builder won't do the selling for you. This means quantifying your achievements where possible and using this data to feed the resume builder.

Resume builders will also help you identify keywords to help you beat ATS—but you'll need to check over these to ensure they apply to you, and look out for any other resume keywords which are familiar terms in your industry so you can highlight the right keywords to catch the attention of recruiters.

Finally, it's essential to note that resume builders will not take away the necessity for mental effort. You still need to closely study job descriptions and highlight relevant experience, education, skills (including soft skills) and certificates that you possess, so that you can input these into the tool.

This is because resume builders may sometimes include skills that are not relevant to you, in an effort to match with the job description for the role you wish to apply for, so you'll need to ensure that you review these for accuracy. Also, some may only focus on your last role, so you'll need to add extra experiences to bulk up your resume and provide deeper context into your skills and experience.

Resume builders offer incredible features such as customization options, free trials, and assistance ... [+] with keywords.

Overall, crafting the perfect resume that actually gets you hired comes down to a combination of your personal input and self-belief in your abilities, and the complementary augmentation of artificial intelligence tools. Job searching can be an exhausting process, so utilize these resume builders to make your efforts easier and give you greater piece of mind—edging you closer to your dream job.
