Job Harbour review: a resume for every job, built only from what you have done
Anyone applying for twenty jobs a month knows the problem: one resume does not fit every ad, and rewriting it each time eats the whole evening. Job Harbour, open to the public since 9 October 2026, promises two things: a resume and cover letter tailored to one specific job ad, and, before that, an honest answer on whether the job is worth your time. We tested it end to end with a test account for a made-up person: a retail team leader trying to move into warehouse work.
How it works
Your Career Profile, once. Upload your resume as PDF or Word and it is sorted into sections: contact details, experience, education, licences and certificates, and skills. You check it and save it, and it becomes the master resume in your account, ready on a computer or a phone without uploading again.
Three ways to bring a job in. Paste the ad, paste its link and let Job Harbour read the page and fill in the title, company and description itself, or use the "Send to Job Harbour" button, which you drag to your browser's bookmarks once and then tap on any open job ad. We used the button on a LinkedIn ad and on Anthropic's careers page and it worked; it also works on SEEK and Indeed in our experience and in users' reports. We have not seen this in the similar tools we have tried.
A fit check before any writing. This is the most useful part. You get a short verdict, such as "Good fit, different background", then two separate bars: what your resume shows today, which is what an employer sees, and your ability to do the job, which also counts abilities you built in a different setting. The gap between the two bars is exactly what your resume needs to make clear. One concrete next step comes with it.
Below the verdict sit five sections: what you have, what is close but from a different setting, what is not on your resume yet, what to add if you really have it, and a striking one called "Don't claim, say this instead". In our test it told the applicant not to say he had supervised warehouse pickers, and to say instead that he leads a nine-person retail team across shifts. That is rare advice in a category that usually tempts people to inflate.
Closing gaps honestly. When the ad asks for something your resume does not show, it asks you directly whether you have done it, where and how, and reminds you to write only what is true. You then add the answer to your Career Profile for every future job, keep it for this application only, or skip it.
The resume and cover letter. In about a minute you get both for that job, with your experience reordered and reworded toward the ad, without adding a job or skill you did not list. You can edit in the browser and download a PDF, or a Word file on paid plans.
Interview prep. Likely questions for that job, each with talking points taken from your own resume and laid out as situation, task, action and result, plus the hard questions to be ready for, such as a gap an employer may ask about.
A single dashboard keeps every application and its status, and job-search tips appear while the resume is written and beside it once it is done.
What we liked
- Honesty is part of the design: it does not invent experience, and it warns you off claims you cannot back.
- The two bars explain why you might be turned down even when you can do the job.
- Bringing a job in by link or button saves the copy and paste.
- Interview prep is built on your own experience, not generic questions.
Worth knowing
- It is in English only, and works on any English job ad.
- It writes the documents; you still send the application yourself.
- Read the wording before you send it, as with any AI writing tool.
- On a computer the button drags to your bookmarks in seconds; on a phone it takes a copy and paste, and pasting the link is quicker there.
Prices
In Australian dollars as shown on its site, with an approximate price in the visitor's own currency:
- Free trial: one resume and cover letter, one fit check, and a PDF with a small watermark.
- Starter: A$9 a month or A$90 a year, for 5 applications a month, with interview prep, a clean PDF and a Word file.
- Pro: A$19 a month or A$190 a year, for 15 applications a month with the same features.
- Pay as you go: A$3 a credit, or A$2 each in a pack of 15, and credits never expire.
One credit is one resume and cover letter for one job, and it comes with five fit checks.
Who it suits, and when to skip it
It suits anyone applying for many jobs in English who wants a different resume for each ad, anyone moving between fields who needs to see how their experience reads in the new setting, and anyone who wants to know before applying whether an ad is worth the effort. Skip it if you apply only in Arabic, or if you want a tool that sends applications for you.
