Start Building Before You Sign Up
Start Building Before You Sign Up
Every resume tool makes you create an account before you can do anything. Fill out a form. Confirm your email. Choose a password. Then — finally — you get to see if the thing is even worth using.
We thought that was backwards.
The old flow (and why it didn't work)
When we launched wrok, the homepage had a big "Get Started" button that sent you to a sign-in page. You had to authenticate with GitHub, LinkedIn, or email before you could even start a conversation with the career agent.
Our analytics told the story: 31% of homepage visitors clicked the CTA, but 93% of those bounced at the sign-in wall. Zero conversions. The product was invisible to the people most likely to use it.
The new flow
Starting today, you can build your resume from the moment you land on the site:
- Scroll down on the homepage to the input section
- Paste your experience — a LinkedIn export, a text dump of your roles, or upload a PDF of your old resume
- Click Continue — you're in the editor, talking to the career agent, building your resume
No sign-up. No email confirmation. No friction.
Behind the scenes, wrok creates a temporary anonymous session so the career agent has a place to store your data. You get a real resume-building experience — the same one authenticated users get.
Save when you're ready
Once you've seen what wrok can do, you'll see a "Save your progress" button in the editor. Click it to connect your GitHub, LinkedIn, or email — your anonymous session upgrades in place. Same data, same resume, same user ID. Nothing is lost.
If you don't save, that's fine too. You still got a resume out of it.
Why this matters
The engineers who need wrok most — the ones updating their resume for the first time in two years, the ones who just got laid off, the ones prepping for a performance review — are not in the mood to create another account. They want to see results first.
Now they can.
