Is it OK to use AI to write my resume?

Yes. Think of AI as a writing assistant, not a ghostwriter. The best approach is AI-assisted: you provide your real experience and achievements, then AI helps you phrase them clearly and concisely. Mokaru's AI writing assistant works exactly this way - it polishes your content while keeping your authentic voice.

Can employers tell if I used AI on my resume?

Fully AI-generated resumes often sound generic and raise red flags. The key is using AI to enhance your own experience, not fabricate it. When you write your bullet points and let AI refine the language, the result sounds natural and personal. Mokaru helps you strike that balance.

How do I make my resume ATS-friendly?

Use clean formatting, standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills), and include relevant keywords from the job description. Avoid tables, headers/footers, and images. All Mokaru templates are optimized for Applicant Tracking Systems, and Resume Score checks your ATS readiness before you apply.

What percentage of resumes get rejected by ATS?

Up to 75% of resumes are filtered out before a human ever sees them. The most common reasons are wrong file format, missing keywords, and overly creative formatting. That is why ATS-optimized templates and keyword matching matter. Mokaru's Resume Score catches these issues so your resume actually reaches a recruiter.

Should I customize my resume for every job?

Yes. Tailored resumes are significantly more likely to pass ATS filters and impress recruiters. Match your skills and keywords to each job description. Mokaru's Auto-prepare tailors your resume to any job posting in one click, so you can apply faster without starting from scratch.

How long should a resume be?

One page if you have less than 10 years of experience, two pages for senior or specialized roles. Every line should earn its place. Mokaru's AI writing assistant helps you write concise, impactful bullet points so nothing gets wasted.

Do I still need a cover letter?

Many employers still expect one, and a strong cover letter can set you apart from equally qualified candidates. It is especially important when applying to smaller companies or roles where culture fit matters. Mokaru Plus generates tailored cover letters alongside your resume.

Is Mokaru really free? Do I need a credit card?

Yes, completely free with no credit card required. Create unlimited resumes, track unlimited job applications, and tailor your resume for each job. Plus is optional and adds cover letters, more export formats, and analytics. See our pricing page for details.
