WowThisCV vs ChatGPT: Which Should Fix Your Resume?
The Short Answer
ChatGPT is a strong writing partner, and you can fix a resume with it. WowThisCV does one job: it checks your resume for ATS fit, rewrites the resume you already have, and gives you a formatted file to download. Use ChatGPT if you're happy writing prompts, checking every line and formatting the document yourself. Use WowThisCV if you want those steps done for you, for $19 one-time.
