How do you bring your own resume into Rezifi?
On Rezifi's home, the first card reads “Your own résumé”, and under it: “PDF, Word or Google Docs. Word and Docs keep their own design.” Three stamps say what stays yours: “Your layout”, “Your design” and “Tailored in place”.
- From Word. Drop your
.docxfile on the card, or press Word and pick it. Rezifi keeps it as your own file. - From Google Docs. Press Google Docs and choose your resume in Google's own picker. The picker gives Rezifi access to that one file and nothing else in your Drive.
- Check it. Rezifi scores your resume out of 100 the way an ATS and a recruiter read it, and shows what a machine reads from your design.
If your resume is an older .doc file, open it in Word and save it as .docx first. That is the file Rezifi edits in place.
What happens if you upload a PDF?
A PDF is a printout, not a document you can edit line by line, so Rezifi asks one question before it does anything: “Have it in Word or Google Docs?”
- Yes, keep my design. Two buttons, Word and Google Docs, open the picker straight away. Bring the file your PDF came from and your design stays yours.
- No, use a template. See templates carries your PDF into Rezifi's ATS-friendly templates, where it is filled in for you, ready to edit.
Closing the question does nothing at all, so a PDF never goes anywhere you did not choose.
What does Rezifi do with your file?
Rezifi reads your resume the way it is built: which lines are your roles, your bullets, your skills and your contact details, inside whatever columns, tables or text boxes hold them. Every change after that is made inside the lines that are already there, so your design, bold, italics and links survive every edit.
- Your score, in your design. The ATS score names each fix under its own line, and you apply or skip it there. One press applies the waiting rewrites, and one undo puts them all back.
- Tailoring, in place. Rezifi's AI resume tailor rewrites your bullets, summary and skills in each job's own keywords, shows every change on its line to keep or dismiss, and never invents an employer, role, date or credential. It works on a copy; your original is untouched, and every tailored version is saved.
- Fit to 1 page. When your resume runs a little onto the next page, one click in the preview bar tightens only the spacing, never your font size, your margins or the paper. A fit that would change how many lines your resume prints is refused, and Undo fit takes it back.
- Paste that keeps your look. Pasted words take the look of the line you paste into, and every paste is one undo step.
What do you download at the end?
Your resume, in the design you brought. Download it as a PDF or a Word file, or export it as a new Google Doc. A fit to one page and a tailored copy come out the same way in each of them.
The Google Doc is a new file in your Drive, not a change to the one you imported, and Rezifi's Drive connection sees only the files Rezifi creates. Google turns the Word file into a Doc on its side, so open it once before you send it from there.
When you apply, Rezifi's auto-apply copilot fills the whole application on any job site, even one it has never seen, page after page: it presses Next, adds your experience and education and attaches your resume, until it is ready to send. Rezifi then keeps track of every resume you send.
How is this different from retyping it into a template?
| Feature | Rezifi | Retyping it into a template |
|---|---|---|
| Starts from your own file | Yes | You move it in |
| Your layout and fonts kept | Yes | Their design |
| Tailored in place | Yes | In their layout |
| Word download in your design | Yes | In their design |
No resume yet? You do not need one to start. Rezifi builds a resume from your notes, your LinkedIn profile or a PDF on its ATS-friendly templates, and the score, the tailor and the copilot work on it too.
