For new graduates
Your first resume,
tailored to the job.
You have more experience than you think — projects, internships, campus leadership, coursework. Paste the job description and Apply Leaf tailors your entry-level resume to match the keywords the role asks for, using only what you've actually done. Every change is shown — and yours to edit before you export.
What counts as “experience”
Capstone project → Product launch
Designed, built, and shipped — that's a real deliverable.
Student org leadership → Management
You managed a team, a budget, and a deadline.
Internship → Entry-level role
You did the job, just for a shorter period.
Volunteer work → Community impact
You organized, raised funds, or drove measurable change.
Coursework → Technical skills
You applied theory to real problems with real outputs.
The problem
A blank-looking resume, sent to every job, gets nowhere.
New graduates panic at a half-empty template, then send the same version to fifty postings. Neither works. You've been building a portfolio of experience for four years — every group project was collaboration, every deadline was time management, every research paper was analysis — it just doesn't look like a work history yet. And a one-size resume gets filtered by the applicant tracking system before a recruiter ever reads it.
Apply Leaf reads your resume and the entry-level job together, shows which of the role's requirements your campus work already proves, and rewrites the weak lines to match the posting's keywords — in language that gets past ATS and reads as an obvious fit. It only ever reframes what you actually did.
How it works

Upload your resume
Drop in your resume as a PDF or Word file. No work history yet? Build a quick one from your projects, internships, and coursework first, then tailor it.
Paste the job description
Paste the entry-level posting you want. Apply Leaf pulls out the requirements and the keywords the role is really asking for, and shows you what's missing.
Review each change, then export
See every change — weak duties become quantified achievements in the job's language — edit any line, then export a clean, ATS-safe PDF or Word file. No watermark.

Tailor my resumeSee what's missing

Find the gapsTurn campus work into achievements
'Took a class' becomes 'led a 4-person team that shipped a prototype used by 200 students.' Achievement-focused rewrites, grounded in what you actually did.
Rewrite my bulletsMatching cover letters

How do I tailor my resume when I have no work experience?
Lead with education, projects, and internships — then tailor. Upload your resume, paste the entry-level job posting, and Apply Leaf shows which of the role's requirements your coursework and campus work already prove, and which keywords from the job posting you're missing. It rewrites weak lines — turning 'took a class' into a quantified achievement in the job's language — and you see every change and can edit any line. Only your real experience, nothing invented.
Should my education go first on a new grad resume?
Yes — for new graduates with limited professional experience, lead with education: your degree, university, GPA (if it's a strength), relevant coursework, and honors. As you gain work experience, education gradually moves below it.
How do I make an internship or class project sound impressive?
Focus on outcomes, not duties. Instead of 'assisted with data entry,' write 'processed 2,000+ records with 100% accuracy, flagging 14 duplicates that saved the team 6 hours a week.' When you tailor to a specific posting, Apply Leaf reframes each result toward the keywords that role is asking for — using numbers you actually achieved.
Can I include campus leadership and volunteer work?
Absolutely. A 'Leadership & Activities' section is valuable for a new grad. Board positions, volunteer coordination, event planning — these show initiative and people skills. Quantify where you can, and tailoring will surface the ones that match the role you're applying to.
Is it free to tailor my entry-level resume?
Your first tailored resume is free, full quality, with no watermark — including the ATS-safe PDF and Word export. Beyond that, Pro (monthly or lifetime) unlocks unlimited tailoring. See the pricing page for current details — we never make a 'free forever' promise.
