Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Paige Careers, our resume builder, subscriptions, and more.

What is Paige Careers?

Paige Careers is an AI-powered resume builder created by Margaret Gerety, a Harvard graduate and certified resume writer. At the heart of Paige is a smart, single chatbot you can use however you like—ask questions, get feedback, brainstorm, or request edits to your resume. In addition, Paige offers a guided Paige Resume Builder experience, where it reviews a particular section of your resume you're concerned about, asks you targeted questions about your work, and then crafts stronger, resume-ready language that it adds directly to your resume. Together, these create a seamless mix of flexible AI support and structured, coach-like guidance.

How does Paige differ from other resume builders?

Most resume builders are rigid, template-first tools. Paige combines two things you won't find elsewhere: an open-ended chatbot you can use like a personal resume assistant, and a structured Paige Resume Builder that actively helps you improve your content. In the Paige Resume Builder, Paige asks the same strategic questions Margaret uses with professional clients, turns your answers into polished bullet points and summaries, and places them directly into your resume. Meanwhile, the main chatbot lets you ask for anything — tailoring, rewrites, explanations, or strategy — all within one simple interface. The result is expert-level guidance, clearer storytelling, and a clean final resume without the clutter or complexity of traditional builders.

Can I upload my existing resume?

Yes! You can start with your existing resume. But you can also copy and paste lots of different kinds of content into Paige: bios, press releases, award write-ups, even messy notes. Paige will organize everything into our single, clean template and make improvements to ensure your resume is clearer, more compelling, and interview-ready.

What file formats can I download my resume in?

You can download your resume in PDF and Word (.docx). We generally recommend submitting a PDF to employers so your formatting stays exactly as intended, but we also provide a Word version so you can continue to edit and customize your resume on your own, outside of Paige. Your resume is yours—we don't hold it hostage.

Will my resume pass ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems)?

Paige formats resumes using clean, standard layouts that are broadly compatible with most applicant tracking systems. We avoid complex graphics, columns, or tables that commonly cause ATS issues, and we prioritize clear section headings, readable fonts, and structured bullet points that both machines and human recruiters can easily parse. While every employer uses different and constantly evolving ATS tools, Paige is designed to give your resume the best possible chance of being read accurately by both automated systems and hiring teams.

Can I use Paige for multiple resumes?

Yes! With an active subscription, you can create and manage multiple resumes using Paige's "Versions" feature. This makes it easy to tailor your experience for different roles, industries, or job descriptions.
