User Guide
Dashboard
Shows application counts, interview and offer totals, response rate, active profile, resume health score, and top bullet fixes.
Resume tab
- Target profile — changes headline title, bullets shown per job, and keyword emphasis used in scoring.
- Live preview — education, skills, projects, certifications, and experience render from local data.
- Bullet advisor — deterministic scoring across impact, technical depth, business language, leadership, metrics, and ATS keywords.
- Accept rewrite — replaces the bullet text and saves to localStorage. Matching accomplishment entries record version history when linked.
- Build PDF — opens the browser print dialog. Advisor panels and app chrome are hidden in print view.
Job Tracker
Add, edit, or delete applications. Track company, role, status, dates, source, contacts, salary range, notes, and next actions. All records stay local until you export them.
Settings
- Export full backup — JSON file with resume, accomplishments, jobs, and profile selection.
- Import backup — restore from a previously exported JSON file.
- Partial exports — accomplishments-only or jobs-only JSON files.
- Reset to sample data — replaces all local data with the included fictional demo dataset.
Data storage
Your working copy lives in browser localStorage under the key privateResumeVault_v1. Clearing browser data without a backup will erase local progress.
Editions
Portable Edition — single HTML file for daily use. Developer Edition — separate HTML, CSS, JS, and JSON for customization (requires a local static server when editing JSON files).
