Is it free? What can I do without paying?

Yes. You can start without a card. You get one full resume and one job-matched version. You can download a PDF with a light Rolebe mark. A clean PDF and Word file come after you buy a unit pack. Try first, pay if it helps.

What are "units" and what does each action cost?

Units are your balance of "tries" in the product. Rough guide: improve one text block - 1 unit; cover letter - 2 (the first is often free); match to a job - 5; build a resume from scratch - 10; translate the whole resume - 5. We charge only when you already have a result. If it fails - we do not charge.

Why Rolebe if I already have ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok?

Those tools write great text. Rolebe takes you from resume file to a job-ready pack: structure, match to one vacancy, letter, download. Facts stay yours. You approve edits. Free start on one full resume and one job match, then packs if you apply often.

Can I use a job link from LinkedIn, Indeed, or a company careers page?

Often yes when the page is public. If login or a bot check blocks us, paste the job text. Keep the link for applying. We never open private internal URLs.

Will my resume work with "robots" that filter applicants?

We show how close your resume is to the job text, give a score, and offer simple layouts that screening software reads more easily. That is a guide, not a promise you will "pass every system at 100%". Each company has its own tools. We help you fit the job and keep the file clean - no magic claims.

Is it safe to upload my resume and personal data?

We check the file type and scan for malware. Files stay in your account. We do not sell contacts or send spam in your name. You can export or delete your data. Card payments go through a payment provider - we do not store full card numbers.

How many layouts and languages are there?

Twenty-five layouts and twenty-one languages - for the site and for resume text. Change the layout without losing your words. Site language and resume language can be different.

When are units taken from my balance?

When the action is done and you have a result. For example: the resume was matched to a job, built from scratch, a block was improved, the resume was translated, or a letter was written. Free starter gifts (one full resume and one job match) are once each. If nothing worked because of an error - we do not charge it as success.

Resume or CV - does Rolebe work for US and UK formats?

Yes. Use resume-style wording for US roles and CV wording for UK/EU where it fits. Layouts stay ATS-readable either way; you choose the resume language separately from the site language.

How do I start if I am not technical?

Sign up. Create a resume or upload a file. Add a job - link or plain text. Run the job match. Edit what you do not like. Preview. Download. Your unit balance is at the top of the app. "Top up" opens packs if you want more.

Is a two-column resume bad for ATS?

Often yes for older parsers. If a portal uses strict ATS, prefer a single-column / ATS-plain export. Humans may still like a designed PDF for email.

Should I submit PDF or DOCX?

Follow the portal. When unsure, DOCX or ATS-plain PDF is usually safer than a heavy designed PDF.

What is an ATS-friendly resume? (and how Rolebe helps)

An ATS-friendly resume is a file and layout that screening software can parse: clear headings, normal fonts, and text that matches the job - not a promise you will pass every company's system.

What ATS actually does

An Applicant Tracking System stores and filters applications before a recruiter opens many of them. It reads text, fields, and structure - not your design taste.

Companies use different tools. Some parse Word well; some prefer simple PDF. Fancy columns, text boxes, and icons often break parsing.

Rolebe offers an ATS-oriented export mode: single column, less chrome, no decorative chips - while your facts stay the same.

What to put in the file

Use standard section names, real job titles, and keywords that already appear honestly in your experience - never invent tools you do not know.

Mirror important phrases from the job when they are true for you. Stuffing unrelated keywords hurts both humans and ATS.

Keep contact details in plain text. Prefer DOCX or a clean PDF when the portal asks for a file.

How Rolebe helps (without magic scores)

We show overlap with the vacancy text, suggest layout choices, and keep exports parseable. That is guidance - not a guarantee of "100% ATS pass".

Each employer's stack differs. Use the match view as a checklist, then apply with a human-readable version when needed.

Product numbers you can trust on Rolebe: 25 layouts, 21 UI/resume languages, Word and PDF export, optional ATS-plain file.
