From the first draft to the final offer — every step builds on the same professional record.

- Live preview with instant layout and formatting control

Resume builder
Build once. Tailor endlessly.
A guided, structured way to create ATS-friendly resumes — from a blank profile to polished, multi-versioned CVs you can export anywhere.
- Guided wizard — 14 step-by-step sections with autosave, no blank-page anxiety.
- Live A4 preview — renders exactly like your exported PDF.
- 13 ATS-friendly templates — switch anytime; your data is never touched.
- Resume versioning — one profile, many tailored resumes.
From a first graduate CV with no work history to a tailored senior resume for every job posting, you write from one master profile, switch templates without re-typing a word, and export a print-ready PDF, DOCX, or TXT file in minutes.
Business cards
A print-ready card that matches your CV
Create a professional 85 × 55 mm business card from your active CV, then refine the details and design — without a separate design tool or retyping your contact details.
- Create from your active CV — name, role, contact details, links, and photo are filled in automatically.
- 8 print-ready templates — 3 are free, with accent colours and font styles to match your personal brand.
- Photo and logo, your way — upload a logo and set the size and placement for each template.
- PDF or 300 DPI PNG — print-ready for paper, crisp enough for email and social.
The card is its own document: edits never change your CV, and you can refresh it from the CV at any time. Free includes 1 card; Pro is unlimited. Business-card exports don’t count toward your monthly resume PDF allowance.
Job Tracker
Every application, one pipeline
Save roles in seconds, move them from Saved to Offer, and always know the next step — the Application Kit opens on any application for a match score, gaps, and a tailored summary.
Kanban, table, or list
Switch views and keep the whole pipeline in sight.
Next steps that stick
Every application carries its own next action, deadline, and reminder.
Application Kit inside
Match score, gaps, strengths, and a tailored summary — right on the application.
Offers & salary, compared
Log offers side by side: base, bonus, equity, and total compensation.
Search that finds anything
Filter by title, company, location, status, or tag once the board grows.
One board for every move
Full-time roles, freelance contracts, relocation, and apprenticeship applications side by side.
Keeping every application in one board means no missed follow-ups: the salary range, status, next action, and reminder travel with each card — so comparing two offers or chasing a recruiter takes seconds instead of a search through your inbox.
Interview prep
Walk in ready
Turn every scheduled interview into a plan — with a preparation checklist, a question set per role, and your best stories linked from the Career Vault.
- 10-item checklist with a readiness score that tells you what’s left.
- Per-interview question sets — behavioral, technical, and situational.
- Interview Stories — one tap from any question.
- Everything autosaves — there’s no save button.
Rehearse the night before: open the question set for the exact role you applied to, answer the behavioural and technical questions out loud, and pull your strongest STAR story from the Career Vault — drafts and progress save themselves as you practise.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions
Is Talent & Story really free?
Yes. The Free plan includes a career profile, resume builder with 3 versions, 13 ATS-friendly templates, cover letters, job tracker, and interview prep — all free forever.
How is this different from a resume builder?
Talent & Story is a career workspace, not a one-time resume tool. Your professional record is stored once and reused across resumes, cover letters, interview prep, and applications — so you never start from scratch.
Will my resume pass ATS screening?
Our templates are designed to be ATS-compatible: single-column layouts, standard fonts, clean section headings, and no graphics. You can also check your resume with our free ATS Resume Checker.
Can I use it for cover letters too?
Yes. The cover letter wizard guides you through each section, pulls in details from your career profile, and exports a polished PDF in minutes.
Is my data private?
Your career data stays yours. Everything is stored in your private workspace, synced to the cloud with per-account security, and never shared.
Can I prepare for interviews here?
Yes. Interview Prep lets you create per-interview checklists, question sets, and link stories from your Career Vault — so you walk in ready.
Does Talent & Story include a free ATS resume checker?
Yes. The free ATS Resume Checker scores your resume for compatibility, readability, and keyword coverage — and runs entirely in your browser, with no signup required.
Can I tailor my resume for each job?
Yes. Keep one career profile, then create tailored resume versions for each job description. A keyword matcher shows which role skills you cover and what to add, so you can adapt without starting over.
What is the Job Tracker?
It is your whole search in one pipeline. Save roles, move them from Saved to Offer, keep the next step and deadline on every application — and open the Application Kit on any of them for a match score, gaps, strengths, and a tailored summary.
Does Talent & Story track offers and salary?
Yes. The Offer & salary tracker lets you record and compare offers side by side — base pay, bonus, equity, benefits, and total value — so you can decide with the full picture.
Can it adapt to my specific job-search goal?
Yes. Choose a goal like remote-first, relocation, a German Ausbildung, a French alternance, a career change, or an executive move, and your dashboard, tips, and shortcuts adapt to that path.
Does Talent & Story include business cards?
Yes. Create a print-ready business card (85 × 55 mm) from your active CV, then export it as a PDF or 300 DPI PNG. Free includes 1 card with 3 templates; Pro is unlimited with all 8 templates. Business-card exports do not count toward your monthly resume PDF allowance.
