User guides
How to get the most out of FirstResume.
Short, task-shaped guides to every part of the app. Each one explains how to do one thing, or what a feature is for, and nothing else.
Turn a job posting into a tailored resume, a cover letter, company research and outreach emails, then track where each application stands.
12 guides
