build an ATS-friendly resume from your own experience

build a clear resume from what you actually did.

Start with your own career notes instead of fighting an empty template. Plainly structures the facts you provide into an editable CV, then waits for your review before saving anything.

why it matters

a blank page should not decide your story.

A useful CV begins with evidence: roles, projects, dates, tools, and outcomes you can stand behind. Plainly turns those notes into a consistent structure without filling gaps with plausible-sounding claims.

Write naturally in a Master Brief; you do not need to know CV formatting first.

Review every generated field in the edit form before the CV becomes your saved version.

Missing evidence stays missing. Plainly asks you to add it instead of inventing it.

the workflow

from career notes to a confirmed cv.

  1. 01

    write the evidence

    Add roles, projects, dates, responsibilities, tools, and outcomes to your private Master Brief.

  2. 02

    structure the draft

    Choose a target title and language. Plainly organizes only the information you supplied.

  3. 03

    review and save

    Edit every section, confirm the facts, and save the CV to your private library.

one connected workspace

the supporting parts stay connected.

Creating the first draft is only the start. The same evidence can support later edits, translations, job matching, and ATS-safe exports.

master brief

Your private source document holds the career context that does not fit neatly into one CV.

cv editing

The edit form is the source of truth. Generated text remains a draft until you confirm it.

cv library

Keep the confirmed original and any later versions together without overwriting the parent CV.

cv translation

Translate a saved CV deliberately while keeping the original language version available.

ats-safe export

Export a single-column DOCX with standard fonts, or download the structured CV as JSON.

clear answers

before you build

can I create a CV without an existing resume?

Yes. Write your experience in the Master Brief and Plainly will structure it into a CV draft. You review and edit every field before saving it.

will Plainly add skills or achievements for me?

No. Plainly uses only facts from your confirmed CV data and the Master Brief you wrote. When evidence is missing, it leaves the source unchanged and asks you to add the information.

can I export the result as DOCX or JSON?

Yes. Saved CVs can be exported as ATS-safe DOCX files or structured JSON. DOCX exports avoid tables, images, headers, footers, and text boxes.

start with facts. leave with a cv you can defend.

Plainly is free to use. Sign in to keep your CVs and job-search work private in one workspace.
