## Answer

Drop your resume (and optional cover letter) into the Job Packet tool below. It compresses toward a portal-friendly size, Deep Cleans, and zips outputs with a privacy receipt — entirely in your browser.

## Limits

- If the resume still will not fit under 1 MB at the readability floor, you get the best-effort file.
- ATS parsing is more reliable when text stays selectable (lossless compress first).
- Not a LinkedIn-to-resume writer.

## FAQ

### How do I get my resume under 1 MB privately?

Use this packet, or open Compress resume / Compress to 1 MB. Prefer Keep text so ATS can still read real text.

### Does Job Packet upload my resume?

No. Compress, Deep Clean, and zip run locally.

### Can I include a cover letter?

Yes — optional cover letter and portfolio PDFs can be cleaned and zipped with the resume.
