Real-world use cases

• Applying to MNCs and domestic firms in the same recruiting season

  You're a backend engineer hitting both Google APAC (English only) and a Shenzhen unicorn (Chinese only). Toggle the language tab and you maintain two genuinely separate resume bodies, not a translated twin. Tune the English one for "distributed systems, 40% latency cut", the Chinese one for "高并发, 日活 200 万". Print two PDFs in one sitting, zero copy-paste between documents.

• New grad with no work history who needs structure, not a blank page

  You have three internships and two course projects but freeze at an empty doc. The form gives you the exact sections recruiters scan for, so you just fill blanks instead of agonizing over layout. Pick Modern, drop in your GPA, a 2-line project bullet with a real number (handled 5k QPS, 92% test coverage), and you've got a clean A4 PDF in 15 minutes instead of fighting Word margins all night.

• A consulting candidate who needs a conservative, serif document

  You're moving from a startup into Big Four advisory and a flashy cyan template reads as wrong for the room. Switch to Classic (Times serif), keep section headings standard, and the output looks like the sober one-pager partners expect. Same content you already typed, one click to a document that signals "I understand this industry's dress code".

• Quietly refreshing your resume while still employed

  You don't want your current employer's IT or any SaaS vendor logging that you're job-hunting. Open Chrome DevTools, watch the Network tab stay empty while you type, and trust that the draft only lives in your own localStorage. No account, no email, no analytics ping on the one document you most want to keep off other people's servers until you're ready to send it.

Common pitfalls

• Stuffing 40 skill tags hoping ATS ranks you higher; most parsers flatten them into one comma string. Keep 8 to 12 real skills and let quantified bullets do the ranking.

• Editing only the English tab and forgetting the Chinese one is still old; they're separate documents, so update both before you print, or the Chinese PDF ships last month's title.

• Picking Modern's cyan for a finance or government application; recruiters there read color as careless. Switch to Classic serif for any conservative industry.
