Students go through a great deal of heartache composing their first resumes. I remember staring at my screen late at night, unsure of how to fill in my “prior experiences,” let alone how to make it look good.
This was all before AI. I was in high school with a few dollars to my name, so many of the resume-building apps were beyond my reach. I should have asked for more help, but being stubborn, I spent hours poring over line spacing and wordsmithing.
What I lacked was something like Career Companion. Built to combine content and design, Career Companion helps students start their resume journey from scratch and finish it with class. All they need to do is write down a few ideas about what they’ve accomplished, upload their transcript, and CoCo takes care of the rest.
CoCo is a wordsmith. CoCo will take your ideas and expand on them, allowing them to blossom into polished lines of text that showcase precisely how a future employer would want their applicants to communicate.
CoCo is a designer. CoCo will take that content and design a resume for you, freeing you from the burden of all those hours spent on design and proofreading on your writing app, fretting over line breaks, bullet points, and accent marks. Instead, you get a fully-formed PDF of your resume.
Imagine a student like Jane A. Doe. She’s a motivated Psychology major at Rutgers with a strong GPA and relevant experience, but faces the same initial wall: how to translate her efforts into a professional document that will stand out.
That’s where CoCo truly shines. Look at Jane’s professional summary, for instance: “Highly motivated Psychology major with proven research, data analysis, and interpersonal skills from lab and volunteer experience. Eager to apply academic knowledge and a passion for mental wellness to a research assistant or clinical support role.”
CoCo didn’t just type that; it analyzed the skills embedded in her Research Assistant and Crisis Line Volunteer roles and synthesized a powerful, targeted pitch that immediately tells an employer who she is and what she’s looking for.
Stop writing your resume, start landing the interview.
