Four tabs for your resume on a phone

On a phone, a resume now has the same four parts as on a computer, each in its own tab: Chat, JD (the job description), Gaps and Resume. A tab appears as soon as there is something in it.

• Gaps shows how many are still open, and a tick once none are
• Resume switches between the outline and the PDF, with style and download beside them
• The job description can be read and edited on a phone for the first time

Answer a job's requirement question with one tap

When a job asks for something your profile doesn't show, Specific Resume asks before drafting, because a first draft uses a credit. Now you can answer with a button instead of typing.

• “Yes, I have it” starts your reply, so you can say what you have before sending
• “Draft it anyway” drafts the resume without it
• “Skip this job” ends there: no resume, and no credit used

Skills on your resume: up to 16, in groups, picked for the job

The skills section now holds at most 16 skills in two to four groups, chosen for the job you're applying to. Methods and frameworks count as skills too, so a background that isn't technical gets a real skills section.

Your resume lists only the languages in your profile

A resume could list a language, most often English, that your profile never mentioned. Languages now come only from your profile, and a job that asks for a language never adds one you haven't listed.

Save your resume to Google Docs

A finished resume can now go straight into your own Google Drive as a Google Doc, next to the PDF, Word and Markdown downloads. Choose “Save to Google Docs” in the Download menu.

• The document opens in Google Docs as soon as it's saved
• If Google can't be reached, you can copy the resume and paste it into a blank document instead
• Specific Resume can only open the file it creates, never the rest of your Drive
