Frequently asked questions

You fill in your details once — contact info, summary, experience, education, skills, languages, and projects — and pick from 10 templates, including sidebar layouts with a photo slot common in Gulf, Middle Eastern, and Asian CVs. The preview updates live, and you can export to PDF or share a public link.

Yes. These fields are optional and switched on for templates that support them — useful if you're applying in markets like the UAE, the wider Middle East, or Asia, where a photo and personal details are often expected on a CV. If you're applying mainly in South Africa, you can leave them blank.

Yes — the resume translator uses AI to produce a translated copy of your resume content (for example into Arabic, French, Portuguese, or Swahili) so you can apply for roles across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia without rewriting everything by hand.

It sends your resume content (and, if you provide one, the target job description) to Claude, which scores it out of 100 and returns specific feedback: whether your bullet points show quantified impact, whether your listed skills overlap with the keywords in the job description, and formatting issues that can trip up applicant tracking systems (ATS) — like missing dates or unclear job titles.

An Applicant Tracking System is the software many employers use to filter and rank applications before a human ever reads them — it typically checks for keyword overlap with the job description and expects a clean, parseable structure. Our AI review is built to flag exactly the things a real ATS looks for, not just give generic writing tips.

It only writes content for fields you've left empty — your summary, your skills list, or a role's description — based on the rest of your resume. It never overwrites anything you've already written.

For any experience entry, you can ask AI to suggest 6 role-typical bullet points based on the job title and company. You pick the ones that actually apply to you and insert them — nothing is added automatically.

Only if you turn on scheduled auto-apply and set your keywords. It then applies daily to new matching open jobs using the resume you chose, and emails you every time it does. You can turn it off at any time.

Every job listing on our board is verified before it goes live — we check that the employer and role are real. We don't run ads or accept sponsored filler listings, so what you see is what's actually hiring.

Yes — paste in a job description (or the job's URL) and Resume Hub's AI will suggest specific tweaks to your resume content so it aligns with what that employer is asking for, rather than sending the same generic CV everywhere.

Every application you submit — whether manually or via auto-apply — shows up on your Applications page with its current status (submitted, interviewing, offer, hired) so you always know where things stand.
