Free career and business tools

About the career & business

Two tools for work: the ATS Resume Checker and the Invoice Generator. The resume checker reads your CV the way applicant tracking systems do, compares it with the job description you paste in, and shows which of the posting’s skills and phrases are missing, which sections a parser might not find, and what to fix before you apply. It does not rewrite your CV for you, and it does not send it anywhere; the comparison runs in your browser.

The invoice generator makes a professional invoice or quotation with VAT or GST in your currency, from templates designed for the Gulf and South Asia, and downloads it as a PDF that matches the preview exactly. Your details and the draft are kept in your browser so the next invoice starts filled in, and nothing is uploaded, which matters when the invoice carries a client’s name and a bank account.

Both tools have limits worth knowing before you rely on them. The resume checker reads text only, in the order the PDF or Word file stores it, so it cannot judge the design of a CV: columns, fonts, colours and a photo are invisible to it, as they are to the parsers it imitates. Its checks are concrete: an email address and a phone number, a LinkedIn address, the four standard headings, a length between 300 and 1,100 words, at least four figures, at least five action verbs, and few first-person pronouns. A scanned CV has no text to read; run it through Image to Text first. The invoice generator is not accounting software: it keeps one draft on this device and numbers the next invoice from the last, but it does not keep a client list, a ledger or your past invoices (download each one before you start the next), send an invoice by email, or file it with an e-invoicing system such as ZATCA’s in Saudi Arabia. It gives you the PDF; the bookkeeping stays yours.
