Resume Pineapple FAQ

What is Resume Pineapple?

Resume Pineapple is an AI-powered service that transforms your resume into multiple tailored versions, each designed to match a specific job description.

What is a Targeted Resume?

A Targeted Resume is a customized version of your resume that incorporates the language and key requirements of a particular job posting. It highlights the most relevant experiences and accomplishments to increase your chances of getting noticed.

How does it work?

First, you upload your complete resume—or even multiple resumes—to create your “Super Resume,” a consolidated document that removes duplicates and highlights all your experiences. Next, you upload the job description, and Pineapple AI analyzes it to tailor your Super Resume to match the role. You can then review, tweak, and edit the bullet points before copying them into your preferred format or downloading a polished resume.

Why can’t I just do this myself?

While you can manually tailor your resume, our service saves you time and reduces errors. Our multi-step AI process minimizes hallucinations and ensures accurate, targeted customization—allowing you to focus on your job search without tedious copy-paste work.

What is ATS Optimization and why is it important?

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) Optimization ensures your resume is formatted and keyword-rich enough to pass automated screenings used by many employers. In today’s competitive job market, optimizing for ATS is crucial to ensure your resume isn’t filtered out before reaching a recruiter.

Can I further customize my resume after it’s tailored?

Absolutely! Our service not only tailors your resume but also provides suggested bullet points with comments on each change. This lets you easily edit and personalize your resume to best tell your professional story.

Do I need technical skills to use Resume Pineapple?

No. Resume Pineapple is designed to be user-friendly, so you don’t need any advanced technical skills or deep knowledge of AI to get the most out of our platform.

Is my personal data secure with Resume Pineapple?

Yes. We leverage AWS for secure data storage and ensure that all your personal information is protected. If you delete your account, all your data is permanently removed—we never sell your data.

What file formats are supported for resume uploads?

For simplicity, we currently ask you to copy and paste your resume text into our input box. This keeps the process straightforward and easy to use.

How long does it take to get a Targeted Resume?
