Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Resumello, the ATS, and your account.

General

What is Resumello?

Resumello is an AI-powered career platform that helps you get past applicant tracking systems. It extracts your experience from your existing resume into a structured career profile, tracks your job applications, and generates resumes and cover letters tailored to each specific job — without ever inventing anything you didn't actually do.

How does the AI resume extraction work?

When you upload your resume, our AI analyzes the document and extracts your work experience, education, skills, certifications, and contact details into a structured career profile. You review and edit everything before it's saved, so you stay in control.

What file formats are supported?

We support PDF, DOCX, DOC, and TXT files up to 5 MB. For the best extraction results we recommend a PDF with clear formatting and standard fonts.

Can I use Resumello on mobile devices?

Yes. Resumello is a fully responsive web app, so it works in any modern mobile browser on your phone or tablet — there's nothing to install. For longer editing sessions, such as reviewing your career profile or fine-tuning a generated resume, a desktop or laptop is more comfortable, but every feature is available on mobile.

Resume & Profile

How accurate is the resume extraction, and can I edit it?

The AI extracts your work history, skills, education, and certifications with high accuracy on well-formatted documents, but you always get the final say. Before anything is saved to your career profile you review the extracted data and can edit, add, or remove any field. Resumes with unusual layouts or graphics may extract less cleanly, which is exactly why the review step exists.

How does Skill Discovery work?

Skill Discovery is an AI interview that asks you personalized questions based on your experience to surface skills you may have overlooked or never wrote down. You can answer by text or voice, and for every skill the AI suggests you simply accept or reject it. Accepted skills are added to your career profile; rejected ones are discarded.

Can I upload multiple resumes?

You maintain one structured career profile per account rather than a pile of separate resumes. Uploading a new resume updates that single profile. From there you generate as many tailored resumes as your plan allows — each one customized to a specific job — all drawn from your one comprehensive profile.

What resume templates are available?

We offer five professional, ATS-friendly templates: Classic, Modern, Technical, Executive, and Creative. You can preview each one before generating, and paid plans unlock all five (the free trial uses the first template only).

What is ATS optimization?

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) optimization ensures your resume can be properly parsed by the software companies use to screen applications. Our generated resumes use ATS-friendly formatting, mirror the relevant keywords from the job description, and avoid elements that cause parsing failures.

Will the AI make up experience I don't have?

No. Every generated resume is validated line-by-line against your real career history. The AI rephrases and emphasizes what you've actually done to match a job — it never fabricates skills, metrics, or accomplishments.

Job Tracking

How do I add a job to track?

There are three ways: paste a job posting URL and the AI extracts the details automatically, paste the raw job description text, or capture the posting directly with the browser extension. However you add it, the job lands in your tracker ready to generate a tailored resume against.

Which job boards are supported for URL import?

URL import works with most major job boards and company career pages, including LinkedIn, Indeed, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and many more. If a particular URL doesn't parse, you can always paste the job description text or add the job manually.

What do the job statuses mean?

Each tracked job moves through a status: Saved (interested but not applied yet), Applied (you've submitted an application), Interviewing (you're in the interview process), Offer (you've received an offer), Rejected (you received a rejection), and Archived (kept for reference but not actively pursued).

How does AI Job Intelligence work?

AI Job Intelligence analyzes a saved job to give you an edge in interviews: company research, role analysis showing how your skills line up with the requirements, and — on the Plus plan — interviewer intelligence that researches the people you'll be meeting so you can prepare relevant talking points.

Billing

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) through Stripe, our secure payment processor. Your card details are handled by Stripe and never stored on our servers.

Can I change my plan?

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time from Settings → Subscription, which opens the secure billing portal. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the start of your next billing cycle.

Is there an annual billing option?

Not at this time. Both paid plans — Standard and Plus — are billed monthly, and you can cancel whenever you like. If we add annual billing in the future, we'll announce it here.

Can I cancel anytime?

Absolutely. You can cancel your subscription at any time from Settings → Subscription. Your plan will remain active until the end of your current billing period — there are no cancellation fees.

What happens to my data if I downgrade?

Your career profile, saved jobs, and previously generated documents are all preserved. You simply won't be able to generate new resumes beyond your plan's monthly limit until you upgrade again. Nothing is deleted.

Do you offer refunds?

We offer refunds on a case-by-case basis. If you're unhappy with Resumello, contact us within 30 days of your charge and we'll work with you to make it right.

Privacy

Is my data secure and can I delete it?

Your career data belongs to you. We never sell your information, we use encryption in transit and at rest, and you can export or permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time from your settings.

Do you sell my personal information?

No. We never sell your personal information. Your data is used only to provide and improve Resumello, and we share it solely with the service providers needed to run the product (hosting, payment processing, the AI provider) under strict data-protection agreements.

How is my data used for AI?

When you generate a resume, cover letter, or skill suggestion, the relevant parts of your career profile and the job details are sent to our AI provider to produce that document for you. Your data is not used to train third-party AI models.

Do you comply with GDPR and CCPA?

Yes. We comply with GDPR (for EU residents) and CCPA (for California residents). You have the right to access, export, correct, and delete your personal data. See our Privacy Policy for details on exercising these rights.

How long do you keep my data?

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, your personal data is removed in accordance with our data retention schedule and applicable law. See our Privacy Policy at /privacy for the full retention details.
