Free Tools for Job Applications: Resume, PDF, Cover Letter Prep
Job portals enforce strict file size limits and weird format requirements. These tools handle the file chaos so you focus on the actual application.
Every job portal has a different submission gotcha: one wants a single PDF, another rejects files over 5MB, a third demands Word format. Recruiters care about the content, not which tool you used to fit the form. The tools below quietly handle each requirement in seconds, with zero account creation, so you stay focused on what you'll actually write.
