Question 10

How does the AI Resume Writer work?

Accepted Answer

Our AI writing assistant uses large language models to generate professional bullet points, summary statements, and full resume sections based on your job title, experience, and skills. You can generate, edit, and regenerate until the content matches your voice perfectly.

Question 11

What is ATS and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software used by most large companies to automatically screen resumes before a human sees them. If your resume isn't formatted correctly or doesn't include the right keywords, it gets filtered out. Our ATS Checker analyzes your resume and gives you a score with specific improvement suggestions.

Question 12

How does Job Match Analysis work?

Accepted Answer

Paste any job description into JotCV and our AI will compare it against your resume. You'll get a match score, a list of missing keywords, skills gaps, and suggested edits to improve your chances of passing the ATS filter for that specific role.

Question 13

Can I share my resume with a link?

Accepted Answer

Yes! JotCV generates a unique shareable link for your resume. You can set a password to protect it, add an expiry date, and track views via analytics. Recipients don't need a JotCV account to view your resume.

Question 14

How many resume templates are available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can download your resume as a professionally formatted PDF with one click. The free plan allows 5 PDF downloads per month; the Pro plan offers unlimited downloads.

Yes. Your data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest. We use industry-standard security practices and store resume data on secure, SOC 2-compliant servers. We never sell your personal data to third parties.

Question 17

Does JotCV train AI on my resume data?
