• How is the Cover Letter Generator different from using ChatGPT or other AI tools?

  Tools like ChatGPT can certainly generate a cover letter, but most of the time, it will be generic because ChatGPT doesn’t know what format to follow and what hiring managers want to see. Students would have to spend a lot of time creating a set of specific prompts in order for ChatGPT to get it right. Our Cover Letter Generator is specifically built to help students and job seekers create strong, tailored, and job-ready cover letters, with less guesswork and no additional work on prompts.

• Can AI-generated cover letters be flagged or rejected by employers?

  This is a problem the entire industry is grappling with at the moment.  The truth is, there are no reliable tools for detecting AI-generated content, especially in the context of resumes or cover letters. As our Head of Development put it: “It’s like flipping a coin, 50% of the time, they’re wrong.” Many of the tools used to “check for AI” are actually built by AI, and they often misfire, flagging human-written content as AI-generated and vice versa. This issue isn’t limited to the job searchFew readers

• Do line breaks in your resume templates affect ATS compatibility?

  The short answer is: no, line breaks on their own do not disqualify applicants in ATS systems. Line breaks are very common in resumes, and almost every modern ATS can handle them just fine. If anything, line breaks are necessary in order to make a resume readable and clean.  The confusion likely comes from how certain resume formats and elements (like tables, columns, or text boxes) can confuse some ATS systems if not implemented properly. When that happens, content may get scrambled or ignoredFew readers

• With so many free AI tools available, what makes Big Resume stand out?

  Our team continuously tests and refines Big Resume and Big Interview tools against free AI tools. ChatGPT and other AI options can be a decent option, but they work only when you know exactly what to ask — which isn’t something students always know how to do. That approach is the recipe for getting sidetracked or ending up with generic advice. With Big Resume, we’re constantly updating and refining our AI tools to give users a guided, expert-designed experience tailored specifically for job seeFew readers

• If no job description is provided, where does the Resume Builder get job duties or responsibilities from?

  The job duties in our builder come from an AI-generated library based on the most common responsibilities associated with each role. These were developed by analyzing a wide range of real-world job descriptions to reflect what employers typically expect. They’re designed to give users a strong, relevant starting point, especially if they don’t have a job ad, making it easier to build out their resume.Few readers

• Does your AI ever generate inaccurate or misleading content (i.e., hallucinate)?

  Our team continuously tests and monitors our AI-driven tools, and to date, we’ve had zero reported cases of AI hallucinations. We built our AI-powered tools to stay grounded in the content and context users provide, and minimize the risk of AI “hallucinations”. That said, like all generative AI tools, there’s always a small chance the AI might occasionally suggest something that doesn’t fully match the resume or job description.  We’ve put guardrails in place to keep this rare and manageable:Few readers
