SnugCV

Using SnugCV: step-by-step guides

These guides walk through SnugCV one feature at a time, in the order most people meet them. You start by uploading your resume so SnugCV can build a profile that you review and keep. Then you tailor that profile to a job posting, read what changed, and edit and download the result as a PDF. After that come the template and font settings, the Chrome extension that tailors from a job page, the job tracker, cover letters, autofill on Pro, and how credits work. Where it helps, the guides show the real screens and say what to check before you send anything. Each one stands on its own, so you can skip ahead.
