I appreciate Cake's wide variety of resume templates, which provide me with numerous styles and blocks to choose from, ensuring that I can always find a design that perfectly fits the role I'm applying for. The clean and simple interface of Cake makes the initial setup incredibly easy. It allows me to create clear and professional resumes without the usual hassles. Even though a paid plan is needed for fully useable resumes, the platform's offerings in terms of design flexibility and user-friendliness make it a tool I enjoy using.

I find the job matching experience in Cake lacking, as I mainly use it just to create a resume. Additionally, creating a fully usable resume seems challenging without upgrading to a paid plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I primarily use Cake for job searching and improving my CV. I love how user-friendly it is, making my job hunting process smoother and more efficient.

I find the CV correction tools invaluable for refining my resume effectively. The initial setup of Cake was extremely easy, which was a great relief and allowed me to start using it without any hassle. I highly recommend Cake due to these fantastic features and have already rated it a 10 for recommendation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Notifications — Somehow, Cake always seems to know which jobs I’m looking for and lets me know through notifications. The recommendations are so helpful that I’ve stopped actively searching for a job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cake links back to the recruiter’s website, which is kind of uncomfortable for me. I optimize my CV and working profile on Cake, but I still have to download it and then resubmit everything again on the recruiter’s site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The process of importing a profile from LinkedIn is fast and easy. The AI Resume Checker offers valuable recommendations for tailoring a resume to a specific job description, and the AI-drafted cover letter is a great starting point. The portfolio feature is also useful for showcasing projects. Additionally, the AI Certification Challenge, in partnership with AWS, was a fantastic experience, providing useful seminars and a supportive learning community.

I have been using Cake since August 2022 for job searching and have been thoroughly impressed with its capabilities. The tool allows me to effortlessly create multiple versions of visually appealing résumés, not just in PDF format but also as web links, which I can easily share across various job platforms. I am particularly fond of the new “AI Résumé Analysis” feature, which is a game-changer for me. By uploading a job description, the AI evaluates how well my résumé aligns with the position, offering valuable feedback on the level of detail and pointing out any grammar errors. This feature is incredibly helpful, especially in today’s job market where many companies utilize AI to screen résumés. It significantly boosts my efficiency and reduces anxiety during job applications by ensuring my résumé is likely to pass AI filters. Additionally, I find Cake to be user-friendly, considering the initial setup was quite straightforward. This overall positive experience with Cake makes me likely to recommend it with a confidence score of 9 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been experiencing some frustrating formatting glitches with Cake's résumé builder. While editing, everything appears flawless, but the moment I upload or export my résumé, the layout often becomes messed up. This issue diminishes the overall quality of what would otherwise be a perfect résumé. The problems manifest in specific areas like font sizes, bullet lists, and indentation. It's particularly confusing because not all elements are affected simultaneously; only certain parts break, making the issue even harder to pinpoint and resolve.

Although it can be easily modified it can't do delicate adjustments. When moving the block of particular section in resume it can often disrupt the whole format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
