Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ATS compatibility, exports, and AI resume assistance.
What is an ATS-friendly resume, and why does single-column matter?
An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) scans resumes into plain text before a human recruiter sees them. Multi-column templates with text boxes and graphics scramble during parsing, causing your experience to be lost. Prepico uses strict single-column layouts that parse accurately in every ATS, including Workday, Taleo, Greenhouse, and Naukri.
How does Prepico ensure 1:1 parity between Word and PDF?
Most resume builders render PDF using HTML and Word using arbitrary conversions, resulting in mismatched line breaks and odd page overflows. Prepico pairs Word standard fonts with identical metric-compatible clones (Carlito for Calibri, Caladea for Cambria, Gelasio for Georgia, and Liberation for Arial/Times), ensuring both formats break lines and pages identically.
Does Prepico AI invent numbers or fake work experience?
No. Prepico is built on a zero-hallucination principle. The assistant only rephrases and tightens what you actually did. Where a quantifiable metric would strengthen a bullet, it inserts a {metric} placeholder for you to fill in. Any new suggested facts are clearly marked for your explicit approval.
How does resume tailoring work for specific job descriptions?
You maintain one complete Base Resume with all your career history. When applying to a specific role, Prepico analyzes the target job description, performs a fit check, and guides you to tailor relevant bullets and skills for that role. Your master Base Resume remains untouched.
Can I download my resume in open standards like JSON Resume?
Yes. In addition to pixel-perfect PDF and DOCX (Microsoft Word) exports, Prepico provides standard JSON Resume (v1) export and one-click copy, giving you full ownership of your career data.
Can freshers and college students build their first resume with Prepico?
Yes. Freshers can build an ATS-compliant resume highlighting projects, coursework, internships, and technical skills with proper single-column ordering favored by campus and off-campus recruiters in India.
Is Prepico free to use?
Yes. Prepico offers a free starter account with complimentary AI credits, 1 ATS resume, and free PDF and Word downloads without requiring a credit card.
