The Pika workflow
How US job seekers use Pika
Three honest stages, free to start and free to verify. The paid steps in the middle are optional, priced low, and exist only when the use case actually needs them.
Start free
Upload an existing resume, build from scratch, or import from LinkedIn. All free.
Polish and tailor
Pika Edit (one-time) to rewrite and reformat, or Pika Match for unlimited JD-tailoring while you apply.
Verify before you apply
Free ATS check, or an Expert Review from a real reviewer.
What makes a US resume different
US hiring norms come down to four concrete things. Pika handles each one.
No photo, no personal info
US resumes omit photos, age and marital status; including them can trigger bias screening and hurt you.
Browse resume templatesOne page, quantified
Recruiters skim in seconds, so lead with metrics and keep it to one page, two only for senior roles.
See resume examplesBuilt for US ATS
Tested against Workday, Greenhouse, Lever and Taleo, the systems behind most US applications.
Run a free ATS checkResume, not CV
In the US a resume is for jobs and a CV is for academia; Pika builds the one-page resume employers expect.

When Pro makes sense
Free is enough if you are building one resume for one role. Pro removes the per-download cap when you are actively applying to several US jobs at once. No subscription trap, cancel anytime.

Frequently asked questions
US-specific answers covering photos, resume length, the ATS US employers use, and quantified bullets.
Can I try Pika Resume for free?
Yes. The Free plan gives you full access to the AI resume builder, all templates, LinkedIn import, and 1 Resume Roast. PDF downloads require an active Pro subscription. No credit card required to start.
How do I download my resume as a PDF?
Subscribe to a Pro plan - $9.99 for 7 days, $19.99 for 30 days, or $56.99 for 365 days - and you get unlimited PDF downloads while the plan is active.
Does my Pro plan auto-renew?
No. Pro plans are one-time purchases for the duration you select. When the period ends, downloads pause until you renew. Your resumes stay safe in the meantime.
Is there a student discount?
Reach out to support with your student email - we have running campaigns for verified students.
How is pricing shown in my country?
Pro is $9.99 / 7 days, $19.99 / 30 days, or $56.99 / 365 days in your local currency. Expert Review is $14.99 per resume. Outside India, your card is charged the equivalent USD amount shown next to each price; your bank converts to your local currency at their rate.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and Apple Pay. All payments are securely processed via Razorpay.
Can I extend my Pro plan early?
Yes. Buying another Pro plan while one is active stacks the new duration on top of your remaining time - you don't lose any unused days.
What exactly does Expert Review include?
Expert Review is a one-time add-on where a professional from companies like Google, Microsoft, or TikTok reviews your resume line by line. You receive a detailed feedback document with actionable improvements, an ATS compatibility check, and one follow-up question. Delivered within 3 business days.
Is there a refund policy?
We offer a full refund within 7 days of purchase for the Pro plan if you are not satisfied. Expert Review refunds are available if the review has not yet been started.
Should I put a photo on my US resume?
No. US employers often discard resumes with photos to avoid bias claims, so leave off your photo, age and marital status and let your experience speak.
How long should a US resume be?
One page for most roles, and two pages only for senior or highly technical candidates. Recruiters skim, so lead with impact and cut anything older than 10 to 15 years.
How do I get past Workday, Greenhouse and Lever ATS?
Use a single-column layout with standard headings and the keywords from the job posting, and avoid tables and graphics. Pika's templates are tested against these systems and the free ATS check flags problems before you apply.
What is the difference between a resume and a CV in the US?
A resume is a one to two page summary used for jobs; a CV is a longer document used in academia and research. For US job applications you want a resume.
Do I need to quantify my bullet points?
Yes. US recruiters expect metrics like percentages, dollar amounts and headcount. "Increased revenue 32 percent" lands far harder than "responsible for revenue".
Should I include an objective or references?
No. Skip the objective statement and the "references available on request" line, and use that space for a short professional summary and quantified achievements.
