Resume by Facts: How to Prepare Data and Fix Results
The 'Resume by Facts' tool transforms your real experience and skills into structured resume text without adding non-existent qualifications. It works with two fields: 'Source material' (up to 8000 characters) and 'Role or characters' (up to 1000 characters). You select the output language, press Generate, and receive a single result in a separate panel, which you can copy or download as plain text TXT. No DOCX, PDF, batch processing or automatic saving. In this article we'll explore how to prepare data, what to watch out for when formulating the role, and how to fix an unsuccessful result. All examples are fabricated and provided for clarity.

One of the most common mistakes is writing vague phrases in the 'Source material' field like 'worked in a store, communicated with people'. The tool cannot guess exactly what duties you performed, and will either output generic text or start to hallucinate. Since the tool must not invent qualifications, it may simply repeat your general phrase, and the resume will end up empty.
To fix this, describe specific tasks, tools and results. For example, instead of 'worked with customers' write 'daily serviced up to 30 customers, helped with product selection, resolved return questions'. The more facts, the more accurate the result. Remember that the field is limited to 8000 characters, so you can give a detailed description, but without fluff.
If you are unsure what is important, imagine telling a friend about your work: what actions did you take, what programs did you use, what were you responsible for. These details will become the basis for the resume.
Poor: 'Worked in retail, communicated with people'. Good: 'Two years worked as a sales consultant in an electronics store. Advised customers on product features, processed returns and exchanges, conducted inventory, worked with the cash register and terminal. Basic Excel for stock tracking'.
'Role or Characters' Field: Accuracy Without Contradictions
The 'Role or characters' field sets the context: what position or field you are creating a resume for. If you write 'manager' without clarification, the tool may create a resume that suits both a sales department and project management, and in the end it won't match either. An error is also specifying requirements that contradict your source data, e.g. 'team management experience of 10 people' when you have no such experience in your source material.
Fixing it: clearly formulate the target role and key requirements, but only those confirmed by your experience. For example: 'Role: electronics store sales consultant. Requirements: knowledge of cash register, customer communication skills, basic Excel'. If you are applying for a position requiring skills you don't have, the tool should not add them - better to honestly state you are willing to learn, but that is not the tool's task.
Sometimes users write an entire job description copied from a website in this field. This can confuse the tool, as it will try to mold your experience to foreign requirements. Better to briefly list 3-5 key points that match your real experience.
Poor: 'Want a job, where paid a lot'. Good: 'Role: beauty salon administrator. Requirements: working with clients, record keeping, knowledge of 1C, conflict resolution skills'.
Tool Limitations and How to Account for Them
The tool does not support export to DOCX or PDF, does not save results automatically and has no batch processing. Some users expect that after generation they can edit text with change highlighting or compare versions - this is not available. The result is output once as plain text, which you can copy or download as TXT. If you try to paste more than 8000 characters into the 'Source material' field, the tool will truncate the input or return an error.
To avoid disappointment, prepare text in advance in any editor, check its length and only then paste it. If you need several resume variants, you must generate them sequentially, changing the source data or role. Do not try to upload a document - the field accepts only plain text.
Also remember that the model may make mistakes, and queue and availability may change. Do not use the tool for urgent resume submission a minute before a deadline.
A user pasted 9000 characters and was surprised that part of the text disappeared. Solution: reduce the description to 8000 characters, removing duplicates.
Language and Style: Uniformity of Source Data
The tool allows you to select the output language, but if you mix Russian and English in the source data, the result may become inconsistent. For example, you wrote 'managed stock checks' and 'worked with customers' - the tool may keep both languages or translate incorrectly. Better to keep the source material in one language, and select the output language separately.
Another problem - stylistic inhomogeneity: official formulations mixed with colloquial. The tool has no style settings, so it will try to bring the text to a neutral business style, but if the source contradicts, the result will look strange. Try to write in a unified key.
If the result is still unsatisfactory, check if there is sarcasm, jokes or subjective evaluations in the source material. The tool perceives them literally and may include them in the resume, which is undesirable.
Poor: 'I'm a pro, managed projects, responsible for everything'. Good: 'Managed software development projects, responsible for planning, budget and customer communication'.
How to Fix an Unsuccessful Result
If the generated resume contains invented qualifications or inaccuracies, do not try to edit it manually - better to go back to the source data. Check if you added anything in the 'Source material' field that can be interpreted ambiguously. For example, the phrase 'participated in development' may be perceived as 'led development'. Clarify your role.
Also make sure that in the 'Role or characters' field requirements are not indicated that are not in your source data. The tool should not add them, but if you wrote 'Python knowledge required', and you don't have it in your experience, it may try to insert this skill. Remove unnecessary requirements.
After correcting the source data, generate the resume again. Remember that the result may differ each time due to the probabilistic nature of the model. If the first option is still bad, try to rephrase the source text more specifically.
In the resume appeared 'team management of 5 people', although you didn't write that. Check the source: maybe it was 'worked in a team of 5 people'. Fix it to 'worked in a team of 5 people, responsible for my share of tasks'.
Checking Results and Limits of Capability
After generation carefully read the resume and check each point against your real experience. The tool does not guarantee that it won't add extra, so final responsibility is on you. If you see an unfamiliar skill or achievement, delete it or go back to the source data.
Remember that the tool does not verify accuracy and does not give legal or career guarantees. It only helps structure information. Do not use it to create a resume with knowingly false information - this can lead to rejection at an interview.
Limitations also concern volume: source material up to 8000 characters, role up to 1000. Result - plain text, without formatting. If you need beautiful design, you will have to manually transfer text to another editor.
After generation you saw the phrase '1C experience'. If you really worked with 1C, leave it. If not - correct the source data, removing the mention of 1C, and generate again.
The 'Resume by Facts' tool helps create an honest resume, but requires careful preparation of source data. Avoid general phrases, contradictory requirements and mixing languages. Check the result for correspondence to real experience and remember the limitations: text only, no DOCX/PDF export, no automatic saving. Use the tool as a draft, which can then be manually refined. All examples in the article are fabricated and are not a guarantee of employment.
