# How to Use AI Resume Maker

To build a new resume, answer a few questions about your background when asked. If your answers are thin on detail, Chatly will ask a few honest follow up questions to get real numbers and specifics, rather than making anything up. Paste in a job description if you want your resume tailored to a specific role. This helps the resume match the keywords and requirements that role is looking for.

To improve an existing resume, upload it as a PDF or Word document. Chatly reads it, checks its current ATS score, and rewrites it to be stronger, keeping your real experience intact.

Choose a template that fits your experience level, from student and entry level designs to senior and executive styles.

Edit directly in the resume. Add or remove entries in any section, and your changes are saved automatically.

Check your ATS score at any time. It updates as you edit, showing an overall score along with how you are doing on keywords, impact, formatting, and readability.

Export your resume as a PDF once you are happy with it.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.chatlyai.app/products-and-features/ai-resume-maker/how-to-use-ai-resume-maker.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
