One role. One focused story. One place to move it forward. Your resume, cover letter, next step, and application history stay connected.

One career story, many opportunities

A clear path from resume to interview.

CareerPainter carries the right context forward, so every next step starts where the last one ended.

01

Bring in the real story

Import an existing PDF in your browser or start fresh. CareerPainter rebuilds your experience as structured, editable content.

03

Launch mission control

Start the application with its documents attached, then manage the timeline, contacts, notes, and next action through offer.

The core toolkit

Everything around the resume matters too.

Build a coherent application package, keep it connected to the role, and know exactly what to do next.

Template library

One visual identity across both documents.

Choose from 13 ready-to-use sets, with more design directions mapped for the growing catalogue. Preview your real content before switching.

Browse template sets
One-page fit + PDF

Polished on screen. Print-safe on paper.

Live fit checks, smart density controls, and a guided fix keep the final PDF readable and on one Letter page.

Truthful AI assistance

Focus what is already true.

Bring a job description, review every suggested change, and save a role-specific version without inventing experience.

Connected document sets

The version you sent stays with the role.

Attach the exact resume and cover letter to each application, then reopen either document from mission control.

New in CareerPainter

Smarter support for the whole search, not just the resume.

These come with CareerPainter Plus. Join the waitlist and they're included in your 14-day free trial from day one.

Plus

AI Career Coach

A persistent chat that learns your target roles and strengths over time, then proposes resume edits and cover letters you approve before anything saves.

Plus

Calendar & reminders

See every deadline and interview round—including take-homes and multi-stage loops—on one calendar, with reminders that fire before you'd forget.

Plus

Auto Scan

CareerPainter checks the postings behind your open applications and saved job ideas, and flags the ones that have quietly closed.

Plus

ATS readiness score

A transparent, explainable score for how well your resume and cover letter match a specific posting—before you submit, not after.

Private by design

Your career story is personal. It should stay that way.

Your CareerPainter account protects and syncs your resume details, revision history, cover letters, template choice, and applications. A resilient browser cache keeps your workspace available through temporary connection trouble.

We record a small set of anonymous product actions and, for optional hosted AI requests, model and token totals—never your career content. Your email or written feedback is sent only when you explicitly submit it.

  • Detects fields across Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Taleo, Ashby, and more
  • Fills high-confidence answers straight from your CareerPainter profile
  • Flags ambiguous questions and generated answers for your review

Questions, answered

Before you begin.

Is CareerPainter really free?

Yes—CareerPainter Free covers the basics (2 template sets, up to 3 tracked applications) without a credit card. CareerPainter Plus unlocks the full template library, unlimited applications, and every AI-powered tool, and includes a 14-day free trial when it opens.

When does CareerPainter Plus launch?

Plus is opening gradually from the waitlist. Join the list on this page and you'll be notified—with a 14-day free trial—as soon as it's your turn.

Does CareerPainter make up experience?

No. Its tailoring guardrails are designed to work only from facts already present in your master resume. You review every suggested change before applying it.

Do my resume and cover letter stay connected?

Yes. Each template set gives both documents one visual identity, and the exact resume version and cover letter can stay attached to the application you used them for.

What happens when I start an application?

CareerPainter carries the current resume—and its linked cover letter—into a new application. Once saved, that role gets its own mission-control workspace for progress, next actions, contacts, notes, and history.

Where is my information saved?

Your data syncs to your signed-in account and is cached in this browser for resilience. Use the built-in export option to keep an additional portable backup.

How do I sign in?

Open the app and sign in to your CareerPainter account. New users complete a short guided profile before the private workspace appears.
