1. Upload your resume — Go to the app and drag & drop your resume (PDF, DOCX, or TXT) onto the upload zone, or click to browse.
2. Add the job description — Paste a job URL (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday supported) or paste the job description text directly.
3. Generate — Click "Tailor My Resume" and our AI will analyze the match, rewrite your resume for ATS optimization, generate a cover letter, prepare interview questions, and draft an intro email.
4. Review & download — View your results on the results page. Download as PDF or copy the HTML.

If you have more than one resume (e.g., a technical resume and a management resume), you can combine them before tailoring:

1. Upload your first resume — Use the drop zone, LinkedIn import, or manual paste as usual.
2. Add more resumes — After your first upload, a "Resume Sources" panel appears. Click Add Another to upload additional resumes.
3. Merge — Once you have 2 or more sources, click Merge Resumes. AI will deduplicate roles, combine skills, and pick the strongest descriptions.
4. Review & edit — The merged resume appears in a preview box. Edit it if needed, then click Use Merged Resume.
5. Continue — Proceed to Step 2 (job description) as normal. The merged resume is your new base.

Tip: You can remove individual sources using the X on each chip before merging.

Your ATS Match Score (0-100%) measures how well your resume aligns with the target job description. It considers:

• Keyword coverage — Do your skills, tools, and qualifications match what the employer asked for?
• Experience alignment — Does your work history reflect the required responsibilities?
• Missing keywords — Skills you're missing are flagged so you know what to add.

Aim for 75%+ for best results. Scores below 50% mean significant mismatches.

We accept three resume formats:

• PDF — Most common. We use PDF.js to extract text from all pages.
• DOCX — Microsoft Word format. Parsed with Mammoth.js.
• TXT — Plain text files.

For best results, make sure your PDF is text-based (not a scanned image). If text extraction fails, try saving your resume as DOCX first.

You'll be prompted to sign in with your Google account via a one-time popup, then your PDF uploads to your Drive.

• Navigate to the Cover Letter tool from your results page for a standalone version.

• Keywords you actually have can be selected via the AI Co-Pilot — the AI will weave them into your bullet points.
• Keywords you don't have represent genuine skill gaps. Consider upskilling or addressing them in your cover letter.
• Use the Skills Tracker tool to see which skills are rising or decaying in your industry.

The Recruiter Heatmap visualizes which sections of your resume get the most attention from hiring managers.

The Red Flag Detector scans your resume for issues that trigger automatic rejection.

• Formatting issues — Tables, headers, images, and other elements that break ATS parsing.

• Each flag includes a severity level and a specific fix recommendation.

• Generates multiple hook options tailored to the specific role and company.
• Combines your strongest achievements with the job's key requirements.
• Optimized for ATS while still sounding natural and engaging to human readers.

1. Visit the Chrome Web Store listing.
2. Click "Add to Chrome" and confirm the permissions.
3. Pin the extension to your toolbar for easy access.
4. Sign in with the same account you use on TailorMeSwiftly.com.

The extension is free for all users (Free and Premium).

Once installed, the extension works on any job listing page:

2. Click the TailorMeSwiftly icon in your toolbar, or use the overlay button on the page.
3. The job title, company, and URL are automatically captured and saved to your Application Tracker.

Saved jobs appear in the Tailored column of your Kanban board, ready for you to tailor your resume.

If the extension is not saving jobs or appears disconnected:

• Check sign-in status — Click the extension icon and make sure you are signed in with the same account you use on the website.
• Update the extension — Go to chrome://extensions, enable Developer Mode, and click "Update".
• Reload the page — Some job boards load content dynamically. Try refreshing the listing page.

• As a last resort, paste your resume text directly into the text area using the "Paste text instead" option.

Not all job URLs can be automatically fetched. If URL import fails:

• Some sites (LinkedIn, Indeed) block automated fetching. Copy and paste the job description text manually instead.
• Supported job board formats include Greenhouse, Lever, and Workday (with JSON-LD structured data).
• Make sure the URL is a direct link to the job posting, not a search results page.
• If the URL works but extracts the wrong text, paste the JD manually for best results.

The Menu is available on every page so you can jump between areas at any time without losing your work.

Tailor My Learning analyzes your resume against a target job description and generates a personalized skill-gap roadmap so you know what to learn next and how to get qualified faster.

1. Navigate to Tailor My Learning using the Menu in the header.
2. Select a saved resume and paste the job description for your target role.
3. Click Generate Learning Path — the AI will identify your gaps and build a custom roadmap for your next role or your current-role growth plan.
4. Your roadmap is organized into Tracks (e.g., "The Foundation", "The Builder's Toolkit"), each containing sequential skills.
5. Click any skill node to open its study guide, which includes:
   • Why the skill matters for this specific role
   • How it connects to what you already know
   • A Knowledge Check with tough reflection questions
   • A Boss Fight mini-project to prove mastery
6. Work through skills in order — each builds on the previous one.

Your generated roadmaps are saved and accessible anytime from the Learning dashboard.

Spaced repetition is a scientifically-proven learning technique that schedules reviews at increasing intervals to maximize long-term retention. Tailor My Learning uses the SM-2 algorithm to automatically schedule when you should revisit each skill based on how well you performed on its knowledge check.

• After completing a knowledge check, the system calculates when you should review the skill next.
• Skills you found easy are scheduled further out; skills you struggled with come back sooner.
• When a review is due, the skill node pulses with a visual reminder on your learning path.
• A forgetting curve visualization shows your predicted retention over time for each skill.

You do not need to manually track review dates — the system handles it automatically and reminds you when it is time to revisit a skill.

Mastery levels reflect how well you have demonstrated understanding of a skill through knowledge checks and boss fight assessments. There are four tiers:

• Bronze — You have completed the study guide and attempted the knowledge check.
• Silver — You scored well on the knowledge check and completed the boss fight checklist.
• Gold — You consistently score highly across reviews and demonstrate deep understanding.
• Platinum — You have maintained gold-level performance across multiple spaced repetition review cycles.

Your mastery level for each skill is displayed on the skill node in your learning path and contributes to your overall roadmap completion score.

Daily challenges are short, focused learning tasks that keep you engaged and building momentum. Each day, Tailor My Learning presents a new challenge related to your active roadmaps so you keep closing gaps without losing momentum.

• Complete the challenge to earn XP rewards that contribute to your overall learning score.
• Build a streak by completing challenges on consecutive days — your streak count is saved to your account and persists across sessions.
• Challenges are tailored to your current skill level and the topics in your active roadmap.

Daily challenges are a great way to stay consistent without committing to a full study session.

Yes. Each skill node in your learning path has a Community Resources section where you can submit helpful links — articles, tutorials, videos, or documentation — that other learners on the same path can benefit from.

• Click "Add Resource" on any skill node to submit a URL with a title and optional description.
• Submitted links are validated automatically to check for broken URLs. If a link becomes inaccessible, a warning badge is displayed.
• Community resources appear alongside the AI-generated resources in the study guide.

Please only submit resources that are relevant and helpful. We reserve the right to remove inappropriate or spammy submissions.

A boss fight is a mini-project challenge at the end of each skill's study guide. It is designed to test whether you can apply what you have learned in a practical scenario.

• Each boss fight includes a project prompt that simulates a real-world task related to the skill.
• A self-assessment rubric checklist guides you through evaluating your own work against specific criteria.
• Completing the boss fight and checking off the rubric items earns XP and contributes to your mastery level for that skill.

Boss fights are self-paced — there is no timer. The goal is to build confidence that you can use the skill in a real work environment.

Tailor My News generates personalized career intelligence briefings based on what matters to your career. Use it to prep for interviews, grow in your current role, and stay current in your industry. There are three ways to add interests:

• My Interests — Add topics directly using the tag input or pick from suggested topics (e.g., "AI in healthcare", "fintech regulation", "product management trends").
• From Resume — Upload or use your saved resume and the AI will automatically extract your skills, industry, and experience as interest topics.
• From Jobs — Pull context from your tracked applications so your briefing covers the companies and roles you are actively pursuing.

Each briefing includes a concise summary of the top stories and actionable takeaways so you can bring smarter talking points to recruiter calls, interviews, meetings, 1:1s, and follow-ups. You can also listen to your briefing as a podcast-style audio narration, ask follow-up questions in the Q&A chat, or click "Catch Me Up" on any story for a timeline of how it developed.

Story Reactions: Each story has thumbs up/down and bookmark buttons. React to stories to help the AI learn what you want more or less of in future briefings.

Continuing Stories: When a topic appears in multiple briefings, a "Continuing Stories" banner shows at the top with links to previous coverage so you can follow developing stories across days.

Each story in your briefing has reaction buttons:

• Thumbs up — Tell the AI you want more stories like this.
• Thumbs down — Tell the AI you want fewer stories like this.
• Bookmark — Save a story for later reference.

Your reactions are stored and used to weight your interests over time, helping the AI deliver more relevant briefings.

Continuing Stories: When a topic you read about previously appears in a new briefing, a "Continuing Stories" banner appears at the top. Click the link to jump back to the earlier briefing where the topic first appeared. This helps you follow developing stories across days and weeks without losing context.

The My Briefings feed page keeps a full history of every briefing you have generated.

• Browse past briefings — Scroll through your feed to revisit any previous briefing. Each entry shows the date, topic summary, and source method (interests, resume, or applications).
• Re-read or re-listen — Open any past briefing to read the full content or replay the podcast audio.
• Track trends — Over time, your briefing history becomes a personal archive of industry news relevant to your career trajectory.

Access the My Briefings feed from the News section of the Menu or directly from the Tailor My News page.

The Career Pivot Translator helps you reframe your experience for a new industry or role.

1. Enter your current experience — Describe your background, job titles, and key accomplishments in the text input field.
2. Specify your target — Enter the industry, role, or field you want to transition into in the second input field.
3. Generate your translation — The AI maps your existing skills and experience to the language and expectations of your target industry.

The output highlights transferable skills, suggests how to reword bullet points, and identifies gaps you may need to address. Use this alongside the resume tailoring tool to craft a pivot-ready resume.

Open Briefing Settings from your briefing page or the Dashboard. The settings page has two tabs:

• Interests tab — Manage your topics with tags, add new ones, or import from your resume or job applications. Suggested topics appear based on trending news and your active applications.
• Settings tab — Configure how your briefing is generated and delivered:

1. Tone & Style — Choose between Public Radio Host, Morning Brew, Executive Summary, or Deep Dive. A live preview shows an example of each tone.
