ResumeHarbor is a new, accessible AI resume and cover letter builder from Web Friendly Help, with one stubborn rule: it never makes anything up. It rewords and reorders your real experience, tailors it to a specific job posting, writes a matching cover letter, and flags the gaps instead of quietly filling them. Your first job is free with no credit card, and it was built from the first line of code to work with a screen reader and a keyboard. You can try it now at resumeharbor.pro.
Remember the job hunt? You send out resumes, cover letters, and very polite thank-you emails, and most of them just vanish without a trace. I spent a couple of years on that treadmill before I finally started Web Friendly Help — so trust me, I’ve got a soft spot for anyone staring down a blank page and a job they really, really want.
Here’s the part nobody likes to admit about today’s crop of AI resume tools. Most of them will quietly lie for you.
Most AI resume tools quietly pad the truth
I don’t even think they mean to. It’s just how they’re built. The tool lines your resume up against the job posting, spots the gap between who you are and who they’re hiring, and cheerfully fills it in. It sees “managed team” in the description and turns your honest “helped with projects” into “led cross-functional initiatives.” It finds the keywords worth points and sprinkles them through your history like seasoning. You never asked. It just does it, because a little padding gets a few more callbacks.
And it works! Right up until it doesn’t. You land the interview off a resume that’s a slightly more impressive person than you are. Then someone leans in and asks you to walk them through that shiny project, your mouth goes a bit dry, and suddenly you’re doing improv. The paper wrote a check, and there you are at the table, trying to cover it.
So I built the opposite
ResumeHarbor doesn’t inflate, and it won’t slip in skills you never earned. It does the harder, more useful thing — it translates. You hand it your real experience and the job you’re going for, and it finds the clearest, strongest way to say what you actually did, without inventing a word of it. Then it shows you exactly what it changed and why, in plain English, and it tells you honestly where you don’t match yet. No imaginary skills. No rewriting a rough year into a sabbatical you never took.
Honesty is your real edge
Here’s the idea underneath the whole thing. When you stretch the truth on paper, you take on a debt, and the interview is where the bill comes due. When you’re honest, specifically honest, it flips in your favor. Hiring managers spend all day swatting away polish, so specifics cut right through it. “Increased sales by 12 percent” is forgettable. “Spotted a pricing gap that, once we fixed it, lifted sales 12 percent” is the kind of line that makes someone sit up, because it shows how you think. And a tool can only write that second version if it’s already true about you.
What ResumeHarbor actually does
Build or import in minutes. Start from a few friendly questions, or bring a resume you already have — a Word file, a PDF, pasted text, or even a public link. It reads everything into a profile that you get to check and fix before a single thing is saved.
Tailor it to each job. Paste in a posting and get back a resume lined up to it, with the relevant keywords worked in naturally and a plain explanation of every change. No mystery.
Get a matching cover letter, grounded in your real profile and that job, in whatever tone and length suits you.
Export to Word or PDF, formatted as real text to survive the applicant tracking systems that toss out anything they can’t read.
See the gaps instead of pretending they’re gone. When something is missing, ResumeHarbor tells you, so you walk into the room knowing exactly where you stand.
Built for everyone, accessibility included
Web Friendly Help has always served the access-technology community, so accessibility here was never a box I checked at the end. It was the starting line. ResumeHarbor targets WCAG 2.2 AA. It works with a screen reader, it works with a keyboard and no mouse at all, and it respects dark mode, reduced motion, and your own color choices — because the person who needs a great resume might also need bigger text or higher contrast, and those two things should never be at war. Career changer, new graduate, someone with a gap to explain, or an agency quietly helping a whole roster of clients at once: same honest tool, same clear output.
Honest tool, honest price
Your first job is free, and I don’t ask for a credit card to prove it. After that, plans are priced by the job. Embark is $15 a month for up to 25 jobs, Voyage is $30 a month for up to 75, and Odyssey is $45 a month for up to 200. A “job” simply means one tailored resume plus its matching cover letter, and you can rework and refine that same job all you like, on the house.
Frequently asked questions
Does the AI make up experience for me? No. It’s instructed never to invent employers, job titles, dates, education, certifications, skills, or accomplishments. It improves wording, structure, and keyword alignment using only what you give it, and it tells you when something is missing instead of fabricating it.
What files can I import? A Word document or PDF up to 5 MB, pasted resume text, or a public link. Whatever you bring gets parsed into a structured profile that you review and edit before anything is saved.
What can I export? Your resume and cover letter as DOCX or tagged PDF files — real text, not pictures of text — formatted to be ATS-friendly.
Is my data used to train AI models? No. Your resume and job-posting text go to a third-party AI provider only to generate your results. I don’t use your data to train AI models.
Is ResumeHarbor accessible? Yes. It targets WCAG 2.2 AA and is built for keyboard-only and screen-reader use, with labeled controls, visible focus, and status announcements.
Can I cancel? Anytime. You keep access until the end of the billing period you already paid for, and you can manage everything from your account.
