Official FAQ

What is FirstResume?

FirstResume is an AI job application assistant. You paste a job posting or pick one from the board, and it writes a resume tailored to that specific role, drafts the cover letter and outreach email to go with it, researches the company, scores how well you fit, and prepares you for the interview. Every application is tracked in one place. It is built for students and graduates applying for their f

Is FirstResume free?

Yes, and the free plan is a real plan rather than a demo. It covers ten active applications, two AI-tailored resumes and two application kits a month, five job searches, and ten regenerations, with no card required. Premium and Max lift those limits and add company research, mock interviews and unlimited credits, and both start with a 7-day free trial.

Why do I need tailored job applications? Isn't one general resume enough?

Because the first read is usually done by software. An applicant tracking system compares your wording against the posting, so a general resume can be filtered out before a person sees it.

How does FirstResume make my resume ATS-friendly?

By keeping the document simple and the wording aligned to the posting. Single-column layout, standard section headings, no text boxes, tables or graphics that break extraction, and real dates in a consistent format. On top of that, the compatibility analysis shows which keywords from the job description your resume already evidences and which are missing, so you can add the ones you can genuinely

Is my data secure?

Your name, contact details and the identifying details inside your documents are removed and replaced with placeholders before anything is sent to an AI provider, then restored on our side when the result comes back, so the provider never receives information that identifies you. Data is encrypted, stored in a database we control, and never sold or shared with third parties for their own purposes.
