# AI in the editor > Improve a passage, analyze a resume, write a section, match a job, write a letter and practise an interview. What is sent, what it costs, what you decide. The editor can ask an AI model to help with the writing: to reword a passage, to read a whole resume and say what to fix, to draft a section from facts you give it, to compare your resume with a job, to write a cover letter, or to practise an interview. It is optional and it is not part of the app that runs in your browser. The text you choose to send goes to the AI service this copy of Rejarsume is set up with, and comes back as a suggestion that nothing applies until you do. The **AI assistant** button, a sparkle in the editor's bar, opens it. It is there only if this copy of Rejarsume has AI set up, and if it is not there, nothing below applies. ## Before you start AI needs an account, because the credits and your agreement belong to you and not to whoever uses this browser. The first time, the drawer asks you to **Sign in**, and then shows what you are agreeing to: what is sent, who receives it, what is kept, and who decides. Press **I agree** to go on. You can take it back at any time with **Withdraw my agreement**, and it then asks again. ## Improve a passage On the **Improve** tab, choose a passage of the open resume: a paragraph, a bullet of a job, or an item of a list. Choose what to do with it, which is one of **Improve**, **Shorten**, **Expand**, **Fix grammar**, **Stronger verbs**, **More formal** or **Friendlier**, and press **Suggest**. The answer shows beside your own words, with what was added underlined and what was removed struck through, and a short account of what changed. Then it is yours to decide: - **Use** puts it in your resume as one change, and one undo takes it back. - **Edit** lets you change the suggestion first. - **Try again** asks for another. - **Dismiss** throws it away. If you kept typing while it worked, **Use** does nothing to words you changed since, and says so. A passage with bold or a link is replaced with plain text, and the drawer warns you before it is. ## Analyze a resume The **Analyze** tab reads a whole resume and reports on it. It reads this resume, or a PDF or Word file you choose, and it can take the job you are aiming at, so that relevance is judged against it. The whole text is sent, contact details included, and the drawer says so before you press **Analyze**. The report gives four scores out of 100 (completeness, clarity, structure and relevance), what already works, the sections a resume like yours would normally have, the passages that undersell the work, and what to do next. Each passage it points at is quoted from your resume, and the server checks that the words are really there: a finding that quotes something you never wrote is left out, and the report says how many. A passage of the open resume has a button, **Improve this passage**, that takes you to it on the **Improve** tab. It is advice about the writing. It does not say how any employer's software will read your file, and nothing in it is a prediction. For the file itself, see [The ATS check](https://shopsalone.com/en/docs/checks/ats-check.md). A file is read by the server and dropped. It must be a PDF or a Word (`.docx`) file of up to 5 MB, with text in it: a scan is a picture, and cannot be read. ## Write a section The **Write** tab drafts one section from facts you give. Choose what to write (Summary, Experience, Education, Skills or Projects) and where it should go: in place of a section you already have, or as a new one. Then give the facts, as fields for each job, degree or project, or as plain notes, and press **Write a draft**. The draft arrives as a form, with the questions it could not answer from what you wrote, such as a date or a result. Edit anything in it. Nothing is added until you press **Use**, or **Add to resume** for a new section, and one undo takes it back. When the draft replaces a section that already has content, that text is sent with your facts and kept unless you ask for a change. ## Match a job The **Job** tab starts with a job description, pasted in or read from a PDF or Word file, which the **Letter** and **Interview** tabs reuse so you paste it once. It has three buttons. **Match my resume** compares this resume with the job and says how well they match. It lists what the job asks for that your resume shows, with the words from your resume that show it, and what it does not show, each with an honest next step. It gives a score out of 100 and a plain reason for it, and the words from the posting you could use where they are true of you. A requirement counts as matched only with words copied from your resume as evidence, and the server checks that those words are really there: a match with nothing behind it is left out and the screen says how many. It never says you have a skill your resume does not show. **What it asks for** reads the job description alone and sets out its requirements (required and preferred), what you would do, and the words it uses. It needs no resume. A requirement is quoted from the posting, and one whose quote is not in the posting is left out. **Suggest changes** gives two kinds of advice. A rewrite quotes a passage of your resume and says the same true thing in the posting's words, and **Use** applies it as one change that one undo takes back. An addition is a question: if this is true of you, say where it belongs. Neither adds a claim you have not made, and a rewrite that brings in a figure or a name your resume does not contain is flagged. The score is how closely the writing in your resume answers the posting. It does not predict whether anyone will hire you or how any employer's software will treat your file. ## Write a cover letter The **Letter** tab writes a cover letter, or an application email, from your resume and the job. Choose the tone (professional, friendly, confident, enthusiastic or concise) and what it is for: a job, an internship, a scholarship, a formal letter or an email. Add the company, the job title, who it is for and what you want it to bring out, and press **Write the letter**. The letter arrives as text you can change, with the questions it could not answer from what you gave it, such as which company. Then **Create a cover letter** puts it in your library as a cover letter you can lay out and export like any other document, or, if the open document is a letter, **Put it in this letter** replaces what it says, as one change that one undo takes back. **Improve the letter** makes an existing letter shorter, more formal, friendlier or more specific to the job. It is told to use only what your resume, your notes and the job say, and the server warns you when the letter contains figures or names that none of them contain. ## Practise an interview The **Interview** tab has two ways to practise, **Questions** and **Mock interview**, on your resume, the job description, or both, with a kind of question (technical, behavioural, situational, general or a mix). **Make questions** writes questions with what each is testing, how to answer it (the STAR method for a behavioural one: situation, task, action, result) and an answer you could give, built from your resume. Anything in [square brackets] is a fact only you have, for you to fill in. Choose **Practise this one**, write your answer, and press **Review my answer** for a rating out of 5, what worked, what to change, how it does on each part of STAR, and your answer tidied using only what you said. **Start the interview** runs a mock interview one question at a time, with feedback on each answer and a summary at the end that says whether you are ready. Nothing is kept between questions on the server: your answers so far are sent each time and not stored. The career coach and the learning hub are pages of their own, with their own tools and prices: see [Career coach](https://shopsalone.com/en/docs/help/career-coach.md) and [Learning hub](https://shopsalone.com/en/docs/help/learning-hub.md). ## What it will not do It is told to use only what you give it and never to invent an employer, a title, a date, a qualification or a number. A model can still get this wrong, so the server checks the answer itself and warns you, in a yellow note, when a suggestion contains figures that were not in your text, or a draft names an employer, a year or a skill that was not in what you wrote. A warning is a reason to read it twice, not a ruling: you decide, and what goes on your resume is yours to stand behind. ## Credits Each request costs credits, taken before the model is called and given back if it fails, so a request that does not give you a usable answer costs nothing. Unless whoever runs this copy has set other prices, **Improve** costs 1 credit, **Analyze** costs 3 and **Write** costs 2. For a job, **Match my resume** costs 3 credits, **What it asks for** costs 1 and **Suggest changes** costs 3. For a letter, **Write the letter** costs 2 credits and **Improve the letter** costs 1. For an interview, **Make questions** costs 2 credits, **Review my answer** costs 1, and **Start the interview** costs 1 credit for each turn. A turn is the first question, or one answer you send, the last of which brings the summary, so an interview of five questions has six turns and costs 6. A plan gives a number of credits each month, renewed on the first, and the drawer shows how many are left and when they renew. Pressing a button twice, or a connection that drops and retries, is not charged twice. ## What is sent and what is kept Only the passage, resume or facts you chose, and only when you press the button. Your stored resumes are never read in the background. Nothing you send or receive is stored: what is kept is a count of requests and credits, so you can see your usage.
