Getting Started

Free

New to PrepMyRez? Here's how to go from signup to your first AI-tailored resume in under 5 minutes.

What Is This?

PrepMyRez is a career acceleration platform — not just a resume builder. You start by filling your Master Profile (once), then reuse it across every resume, cover letter, and interview. The AI tailors your existing profile to each specific job description you're applying for.

How to Use

1

Sign up with your email

Visit prepmyrez.com and click Get Started or Start Growing. Enter your email, tick the Terms + Privacy checkbox, and we'll send a one-time login code. No passwords to remember.

2

Take the 30-second workspace tour

On your first visit to Home, a short tour spotlights the dock, the jump palette, the Night/Paper theme, and your live widgets. Skipped it? Replay it anytime from Help.

3

Fill your Master Profile

After logging in, you'll land on Home. The Master Profile form lives in the Profile app — switch between its tabs to fill in your personal details, education, experience, skills, projects, and achievements.

4

Or skip the typing — import your resume

Already have a resume? Upload it (PDF, DOCX, or TXT) from your Profile page and the AI fills your Master Profile in about 30 seconds. You review everything and hit save — nothing changes without your confirmation.

5

Create your first resume

Open the Resumes app and click 'New Resume'. Pick a template you like. Then paste a job description and click 'Tailor with AI' — the AI will rewrite your profile to match that specific job.

6

Download and apply

Preview your resume and download as PDF. Your resume is ATS-optimized by default — no extra steps needed.

What to Expect

  • Signup takes 30 seconds (email + OTP, or Google)
  • Master Profile takes 10-15 minutes to fill properly — or ~1 minute if you import an existing resume
  • AI resume tailoring takes 15-30 seconds
  • You get a polished, ATS-ready PDF instantly

Good to Know

  • PrepMyRez is a career tools platform, not a job placement service — it won't find or apply to jobs for you.
  • The quality of AI output depends on the quality of your input. A thorough Master Profile produces noticeably better results.

Tips & Common Mistakes

Tip 1

Fill your Master Profile completely before creating resumes. The more data the AI has, the better your tailored output.

Tip 2

Have an existing resume? Import it instead of typing — then spend the saved time adding anything the old resume missed.

Tip 3

Use specific numbers in your experience (e.g., 'Increased sales by 23%' instead of 'Increased sales'). The AI works best with concrete achievements.

Tip 4

Don't skip the Projects section — they're used across multiple features, including interview preparation.
