# 📄 Resume Builder

> Build a strong placement resume on Launchpad, tailor it to any job description, and check your ATS score, all built into DSA Quest and Interview Prep.

Launchpad's Resume Builder helps you go from a blank page to an interview-ready resume, then checks whether it will actually get past an Applicant Tracking System. It is built directly into DSA Quest and Interview Prep, so your resume grows with your progress.

## In-house Resume Builder

Draft, edit, and format your resume inside Launchpad. No separate tool, no login juggling, no template hunting. The builder is designed for placement resumes at Tier 1 colleges, so the structure matches what recruiters expect.

## ATS Score Checker

Once your draft is ready, run it through the built-in ATS Score Checker. You get a score that reflects how well your resume matches what automated screeners look for, along with signals on what to fix.

## Tailor to any job description

Paste a job description into the builder and get feedback on how well your resume aligns with that specific role. Adjust wording and highlights so each application feels targeted instead of generic.

## Built into DSA Quest and Interview Prep

The Resume Builder is embedded in both DSA Quest and Interview Prep. As you clear levels, complete study plans, and finish mocks, your resume becomes the natural next step in the same flow.
