FAQ

What is Flavored Resume and how does it work?

Flavored Resume is an AI-powered tool that tailors your existing resume to specific job postings. Upload your resume and the job description, and our system analyzes the role’s keywords, required skills, and preferred phrasing — then rewrites, formats, and scores your resume so it aligns with both ATS and recruiter expectations.

Do I need to create an account to use it?

You can try Flavored Resume without signing up for a quick sample, but creating an account lets you save results, manage multiple resumes, and access your history. Accounts also enable seamless upgrades to Pro and access to additional features like cover letters and detailed insights.

What file types are supported?

We accept the most common resume formats: PDF, DOCX, DOC, and TXT. If you run into an issue with a specific file, our troubleshooting tips can help convert or clean the file for upload.

Can I use Flavored Resume for multiple job applications?

Yes — Flavored Resume is designed for repeated use. Upload the same base resume with different job descriptions to generate tailored versions for each application, helping you apply faster while keeping each submission highly relevant.

Do I need to upload a job description?

Uploading the job description is strongly recommended because it lets our AI match your resume to that specific role’s language and priorities. Without a job posting, the tool can still improve your resume, but the results won’t be as precisely targeted to a particular opening.

How does the AI tailor resumes to specific job descriptions?

Our AI extracts role-specific keywords, skills, and responsibility phrases from the job posting, then compares them to your resume content. It rewrites and reorders bullets, suggests keyword insertions, and adjusts formatting so your resume communicates the strongest match for that role.

How accurate is the resume scoring system?

The match score quantifies how well your resume aligns with the job description based on keyword coverage, skill relevance, and formatting for ATS. While no automated score can guarantee interviews, our score correlates with improved ATS pass rates and helps you identify clear areas to improve.

What makes Flavored Resume different from ChatGPT or other AI tools?

Unlike general-purpose text generators, Flavored Resume is purpose-built for resumes and applicant tracking systems. Our models are tuned for resume structure, keyword placement, and recruiter language, and we deliver a match score and targeted recommendations rather than just generic prose. Your final resume can be downloaded in a format specifically optimized for ATS compatibility.

Does the AI also generate cover letters?

Yes — Flavored Resume can automatically create a personalized cover letter for each application, aligning your key achievements and motivations with the job requirements.

How is my personal data protected?

Your files and personal information are stored using industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest. We limit access to your data, do not sell personal information, and follow best practices to keep your resume and account secure.

What happens to my resume after I upload it?

Uploaded resumes are processed to produce your tailored result and match score, then stored on your account if you’re signed in so you can revisit and re-run optimizations. You can delete any uploaded files or results at any time on the editor page.

Can I delete my data permanently?

Yes — you control your data. Please reach out to support@flavoredresume.com to request deletion. Deleted data is removed from active storage.

What’s included in the free version?

The free plan includes a limited number of rewrites, basic match scoring, and standard downloads so you can try the core functionality. Upgraded plans unlock higher usage limits, advanced insights, cover letters, and priority support.

How do I upgrade to Full or Premium?

Upgrading is simple: sign in, visit the pricing or account page, and choose the bundle that fits your needs. Payment is processed securely and your account will immediately reflect Full or Premium features and increased usage limits.

What payment methods are accepted?

We accept major credit and debit cards and payments are processed through a secure, PCI-compliant provider. If you need invoice billing or alternative payment options for enterprise use, contact our sales team for assistance via support@flavoredresume.com.

My upload failed — what should I do?

First, check that your file is in a supported format (PDF, DOCX, DOC, TXT) and under the maximum size limit. If the problem persists, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser; you can also reach out to support@flavoredresume.com with the error message and we’ll help troubleshoot.

Why didn’t my resume match the job description accurately?

Results depend on the quality and specificity of both your resume and the job description. If a posting is vague or your resume lacks role-specific details, the match score will be lower — we recommend uploading the most complete resume available and ensuring the job description is the official posting.

Can I contact support if I have an issue?

Yes — our support team is available via support@flavoredresume.com. We aim to respond promptly and can help with uploads, billing questions, data requests, and product guidance.
