Changelog

A new builder that shows you what to fix on the page

Resume Builder has a new layout:

• On the left you edit one section at a time. In the middle are your real resume pages, the same PDF you download. On the right is your score out of 100 and a list of your sections, each showing how many fixes it needs or Done.
• Lines that could be stronger get a numbered mark on the page. The matching tip sits under that field in the form, with the points it's worth. Click a mark to jump to it.
• Your resume now saves automatically a moment after you stop typing, so there's no save button.
• The buttons at the top are now Import a resume, Add from Library and Export PDF.
• Each role has a Company details field for things like size, stage, revenue or the KPIs you owned.

See How to build and download a resume.

Sign in or create an account right in Upskilled

If you're not signed in, Upskilled now shows its own sign-in page:

• Click Continue to account to sign in through your We Are Distributed account, or enter your email and Password or login code and click Sign in. Forgot it? helps you set a new password.
• If you opened a scenario link, the page says Sign in to play this scenario.
• New here? Click Create an account and enter your Full name, Email and a password of 8 or more characters. The account works in every We Are Distributed app.

See Play the daily scenario.

A cleaner PDF, and a preview that matches it

Your exported resume has a new look:

• Sections now print in this order: Summary, Career Highlights, Professional Experience, Skills, Education.
• Your experience no longer jumps to page 2 and leaves page 1 half empty, and italic text, underlined text and line breaks now print as you typed them.
• The preview next to the form now shows your actual PDF, page by page, so what you see is what you download.
• The download icon on a resume card in My Resumes now downloads the PDF straight away.

See How to build and download a resume.

Write career stories and earn points

Your profile has a new Stories tab for the stories you tell in applications and interviews:

• Click Write a story, then write it in four parts: Context, What you did, Bringing people along and Result, with what you measured before and after.
• Each of your first 8 complete stories earns 100 Career Pass points. The points land about three days after you save.
• Under Views, click Write a view to note your point of view on your discipline or industry.

See Edit your profile.

Application facts, work links and your experience in numbers

Your profile now keeps the details job applications ask for:

• Application facts, on the Profile tab, holds your Time zone, Work authorisation, Working in an office, Notice period, Salary expectation and English level. Click Add or Edit next to one, then Save.
• Add a Preferred first name under About you, and extra links under Work links with Add a link.
• Experience in numbers, on the Work experience tab, now holds five numbers, including Years leading a team and People in the largest team you managed. Click Edit, then Save.

See Edit your profile.

Each resume analysis now counts once

A job analysis in the Resume Analyzer now uses one analysis from your monthly allowance, including its Success odds and, on Plus and above, its strategy. Before, one job analysis could use two or three. A resume check also uses one, and an analysis that fails doesn't count.

Success odds now reads the resume you chose for the analysis, instead of always reading your primary resume.

See How to upload your resume to the job tracker.

Job alerts from your sign-up search keep coming

If the job search you ran when you joined found no matches, we set up a job alert for you. It used to stop after its first email. Now it keeps going:

• On Free, you get an email once a week, on Monday morning.
• On Lite, Plus, Extra and Premium, you get one every morning.
• You only get an email when there are jobs to show. Each job shows its pay and opens in the Job Tracker's Find jobs.
• To stop the emails, click Unsubscribe from job alerts at the bottom of any of them.

See Using Career Agent to automate your job search.

Post your week and get found by hiring teams

Your Track Record and the Career Feed are here, for product marketing to start with:

• In your dashboard, click Track Record to post what you shipped, learned or changed this week, with up to three numbers, five skills and an optional work sample. Free members can post once a month; paid plans once a week.
• The Career Feed at talent.wearedistributed.org shows everyone's posts. Mark them Useful, save them, and see your own log.
• Hiring teams can invite you to talk. They only get your name and email if you click Share my name and email.
• Choose who sees you: let employers reach out, turn on anonymous mode, or hide from particular companies.

See Post your week to your Track Record, Use the Career Feed and Answer invites from hiring teams.

A daily scenario to sharpen your calls

Upskilled, at learn.wearedistributed.org, gives you a short product marketing scenario to play with your We Are Distributed account. Here's how it works:

• Pick a difficulty, read the brief, then choose What do you do first? and Who hears it first? and click Lock it in.
• Your result shows what happened 90 days later, a grade for your decision and the outcome, and how other product marketers called it.
• Playing today's scenario earns 40 points, and your day streak shows in the sidebar.

See Play the daily scenario.

Employers can post remote roles

Hiring teams can now post a remote role to the We Are Distributed job board from hire.wearedistributed.org:

• Create a free employer account, write the role, and choose 7, 14 or 30 days ($99, $199 or $299), with optional social promotion on our LinkedIn page ($49).
• Pay at checkout and we check the role before it goes live. If we don't approve it, you get a full refund.
• Each live listing shows its views, where visitors came from, and how many members saved it or said they applied through Job Tracker. You can add 7 more days, edit it, take it down or relist it.

See Post a remote role and Track how your listing performs.

A simpler profile

Your profile now has three tabs: Profile, Work experience and Account.

• Job families is now a field on the Profile tab. Choose up to 5, then click Save changes.
• Work experience holds your Resumes, your Roles and Skills, and Years of experience under Experience in numbers.
• Your primary resume has a Preview button, so you can check it without downloading it.

See Edit your profile.

Spend your points on a month of membership

You can now spend Career Pass points on membership. Open Achievements, then the Career Pass tab, and look under Rewards:

• A month of Lite costs 15,000 points, and A month of Plus costs 30,000 points.
• If you don't have a paid plan, your points cover your first month. We ask for a card to start the membership and only charge it from the second month.
• If you pay monthly for the same plan, the points come off your next bill as a credit, and your renewal date stays the same. Annual and lifetime plans can't get a monthly bill credit.

The Achievements tab now shows what your points are Banked on your pass, what they're worth, how close you are to a month of Lite, and your standing this month. Your points and achievements now show on every plan, including Free.

See Career Pass: Points, Achievements & Customization.

One sign-in for every app

Signing in now works the same way on your dashboard, the Job Tracker and Resume Builder:

• One box takes your Password or login code, so there's no separate login-code form.
• Forgot it? sends you a link to set a new password. The link works for an hour, and it works even if you usually sign in with a login code.
• To create an account, enter your Full name, Email and a password of 8 or more characters. The account works in every We Are Distributed app.
• In the Job Tracker and Resume Builder, Continue to account signs you in through your We Are Distributed account. In the Job Tracker, you land on your tracker afterwards.

See Login and password management.

Resume check, and job descriptions filled in for you

• The Resume Analyzer's general health check is now called Resume check. Click Run it next to No job in mind? Run a resume check.
• When you pick one of your pending applications that has no saved description, the analyzer looks the job description up for you. If it can't find one, it asks you to paste it.
• When you drop in a resume file, you see how many words were read, with Replace and Remove links. If the text can't be read, you're asked to try another PDF or paste the text.

See How to upload your resume to the job tracker.

Leave a tip when an application moves forward

When you move an application to Screening, Interviewing, Offer or Closed, the Job Tracker may ask you what you learned, for example "You reached interviews at Acme. What did they ask?"

• Pick a writing starter or write your own tip, turn on Before you apply if it helps people who haven't applied yet, and click Pin it. Your tip goes on the company's board under your initials. Click Not now to skip.
• The prompt doesn't come back for the same stage, and it won't show if you've posted a tip in the last 30 days.
• Cards for companies where you've left a tip show Your tip is on the board.
• Applications marked Closed now count towards the 500 points for a tip, as long as you applied at least a day earlier.

See Use job search support groups.

More ways to earn points

• 50 points the first time you choose your job families.
• 25 points the first time you track a job in the Job Tracker.
• 25 points the first time you follow a company in Groups.

The Getting started checklist on your dashboard shows the points each step is worth, and how many points you have left to collect.

Pick your own rating

Check-ins no longer start on 5. Pick a rating from 1 to 10 before you click Submit check-in. A 5 with no note doesn't count in the member comparison, so add a few words about your week if you pick 5. If you haven't chosen a job family yet, you can pick one on the check-in form.

See Job search check-ins.

More job analyses on Extra and Premium

Extra members now get 60 job analyses a month and Premium members get 100. Lite stays at 10 and Plus at 30. When you run out, the Resume Analyzer tells you when your analyses reset and which plan gives you more.

See Guide to subscription tiers and limits.

One profile for your dashboard and Job Tracker

Your profile now lives in one place, shared by your dashboard and the Job Tracker. Open Profile from the dashboard sidebar, or View Profile from the account menu in the dashboard or the Job Tracker. It has five tabs:

• Profile: your name, title, location, years of experience, about, phone, LinkedIn and website.
• Job families: pick up to 5 families to tune what you see.
• Resumes: upload PDF or Word resumes of up to 5 MB and choose your Primary one, which the Resume Analyzer reads. Lite keeps 2 resumes; Plus, Extra and Premium keep as many as you like.
• Experience & skills: add your roles and skills.
• Account: what used to be Settings. Change your email or password, get a new login code, turn weekly check-in reminders on or off, or delete your account.

Deleting your account now also deletes your Job Tracker applications, analyses and group notes. See Edit your profile.

Earn points in the Job Tracker

You now earn Career Pass points for your job search in the Job Tracker:

• 20 points the first time a tracked job reaches Applied or a later stage. The job needs to come from our job board or have a job link.
• 10 points each time an application moves forward to a new stage. On the Board view, the points float up from the card.
• 500 points for a tip of 20 words or more on a company's board, once you applied there at least a day earlier. The points show as pending on your note and usually land after 24 hours.

Career Agent conversations no longer earn points; the Career Agent achievements still do. See Career Pass: Points, Achievements & Customization.

Tips and notes from hiring teams on company boards

• To share what you learned on a company board, click Share what you learned, write your note and click Post tip. A meter shows how close you are to 20 words.
• Some boards now include notes from the company's hiring team, marked Hiring team, with who wrote them and where. Use the Hiring team filter to see only those. On Free you see a short preview; a paid membership shows the full note.
• Company groups now include every company you've tracked, whatever the status, and only list boards with something to read. Closed applications count as applied, so you can still post on that company's board.
• To post in a role group, you now need to have applied for that role.

See Use job search support groups.

Job suggestions match where you can work

Career Agent now only suggests, tracks and sends you jobs you can apply for from your location. It uses the location on your profile, the wider regions it sits in, and jobs open to anywhere. Jobs that don't say where they hire are left out. If you have no location set, you'll only see jobs open to anywhere.

See Using Career Agent to automate your job search.

Find jobs shows roles you can apply for

The Find jobs tab on the Job Tracker page now lists only the roles you can apply for from where you work.

• Set your location under Where you work from, or pick a region such as EMEA, APAC or LATAM.
• Narrow the list by Kind of work, What it needs to pay, Setup (Remote, Hybrid, Not stated or On-site) and when the job was Posted.
• Tick Only employers who publish pay or Hide jobs I already track, and sort by Best paid or Newest.
• Each row shows where the employer hires, the pay (marked published pay or our estimate) and when it was posted. Click Track to save a role to your tracker, or Apply to open the job.

Your filters stay in the page address, so you can bookmark a search. See How to track job applications.

Open a workflow run from your dashboard

In the Career Agent panel on your dashboard, click the number of jobs or one of the bars to open that workflow run in Career Agent. You'll see the chat message the run posted, or its saved results if there isn't one.

Run history, dashboard reminders and job match emails now count the jobs in each run's results, for example "8 jobs in results, 2 tracked".

Company boards and following companies

Groups are rebuilt around what people learn when they apply:

• Company groups give each company a board of notes from members who applied there. They stay open for good.
• Role groups for a specific role close after 30 quiet days, and their notes move to the company's board.
• Follow a company to read its board before you apply. You can follow 3 companies on Free, 10 on Lite, 30 on Plus, 75 on Extra and unlimited on Premium.
• Once you've applied, Pin it to share a note, and tag it Before you apply if it's advice for people who haven't applied yet.
• On Plus and above, company boards also show how many members heard back and the typical time to a first reply.
• Use Email me new notes to turn group emails on or off.

See Use job search support groups.

Resume Analyzer: should you apply?

The Resume Analyzer now answers one question: should you apply? Pick one of your pending applications or paste a job description, choose a resume, and get a verdict with Match, ATS and Success odds scores, the keywords you're missing, what to fix first and why an employer might say no. On Plus and above, you also see how you compare with people who got interviews and a strategy for the role. No job in mind? Run a general health check instead.

See How to upload your resume to the job tracker.

A redesigned Job Tracker

• The Job Tracker page shows your total applications and your response, interview and offer rates next to typical benchmarks.
• Switch between List and Board views. The Rejected column is now Closed and also holds withdrawn applications.
• Dashboard in the sidebar is now Home. It shows new roles in your job families, applications that have gone quiet, and quick links to your groups and the Resume Analyzer.
• Your profile has moved to the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar: click View Profile.

Choose your job families

Add up to five job families to your profile to tune what you see. Open Profile, click Edit profile, and pick your families. Each family shows how many open roles it has, and the Job Tracker's board and your match alerts follow your choices.

A new home for your dashboard

Your dashboard now opens with a greeting, Check in today and Find opportunities buttons, your Career Pass card, and a Next up list of what to do next. Side panels show your Career Agent workflow, your check-ins this month and how complete your profile is. Choose your journey now sits further down the page. Settings are also regrouped into Account, Notifications and Security.

See Get started with your career dashboard.

A quicker weekly check-in

Rate your week by clicking a number from 1 to 10, then optionally pick what happened, such as Had an interview, and add a note. Your stats sit above your history, you edit or delete an entry with the icons beside it, and Preferences opens your email and data retention settings.

Job results in a table

Jobs the Career Agent finds now appear in a table with the role, location, type and pay. Click Track on a row to save it to your tracker, or View tracker below the table to open the Job Tracker.

A new look for Achievements

Achievements are now grouped into Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum shelves, with your Points History beside them. The Career Pass tab shows your available points, what they're worth, your lifetime points and tier, and the Customise your card panel.

A simpler Membership page

The Subscription page is now Membership. Choose a plan and billing option, then click Subscribe to or Upgrade to the plan to pay on Stripe's secure checkout, and you come straight back to your membership once it's confirmed. From your membership card you can open Manage billing, Cancel membership at the end of your billing period, or Resubscribe.

See Managing your subscription.

Sign-up catches email typos

The sign-up and login page has a cleaner look, with Forgot Password? and Login with code instead sitting together below the Login button. When you create an account, we now check your email address for common misspellings of popular email providers and ask you to double-check it before you continue.

Email alerts for new group posts

You now get an email when another member posts in one of your groups, with a link to view the group and to manage your group email notifications.

A Library for your accomplishments

Resume Builder now has a Library where you keep accomplishments to reuse in your resumes:

• When you submit an employment check-in, mark it as a Career achievement and turn on Add to your resume builder. In Resume Builder, click Library, then Sync accomplishments to bring it into your Review queue.
• Edit the wording, then click Add to library or Dismiss, or merge it into an entry you already have.
• Add your own accomplishments with an employer, role, skills, tags and date, then search, filter, edit or archive them.
• In a saved resume, click the Use Library icon to add an accomplishment to one of your jobs.
• You can also rename a resume by clicking its name at the top of the builder.

See How to build and download a resume.

Grade your resume as you write

Click Grade Resume in Resume Builder to see a Resume Score out of 100 with a letter rating. Checks are grouped into categories such as Header & Target Role, Metrics & Impact, Summary and Skills, with a tip for every check that isn't passing yet. The score updates as you type.

The form also has new fields that sharpen the checks:

• Target job keywords, taken from the job description
• This resume is for remote-only roles, plus a work authorization field
• New Career Highlights and Education sections

Import an existing resume

Use Import resume to fill in Resume Builder from a PDF, DOCX or TXT file of up to 8 MB. Your file is read in your browser and nothing is saved until you save your draft. You can add the imported details to blank fields only or replace your current draft, and anything that needs checking is flagged for review.

Team replies to your check-ins now arrive by email

When the We Are Distributed team replies to one of your check-ins, we now also email you the reply along with your rating and note. You can respond by replying to the email. The reply still appears under the check-in as Response from the team.

Group activity is easier to follow

Support groups that stay inactive now get a warning after 25 days and are removed after 30 days, helping keep group spaces fresh and active. Group conversations can also include system-generated posts that are marked separately from member messages, making admin or automated updates easier to spot.

Job search support groups

Members can now create and join support groups tied to a specific job or company. Inside a group, members can see who has joined and share updates with each other as they move through the application. A new Groups section has also been added to the main navigation, and your profile can show a photo as part of the updated experience.

Chrome extension links added in app

The app now makes it easier to find the Chrome extension from inside the job tracker and the sidebar. Members can jump to the extension from more places without hunting for the download page.

Chrome extension added to onboarding

New members now see the Chrome extension as part of the welcome checklist. Clicking the item takes them to the extension download page and marks it as complete, making it easier to get set up from day one.

Admin responses on check-ins

Admins can now reply directly to job check-ins from the admin area, and members will see those replies in their check-in history. Eligible admins also have a clearer Admin entry in the main sidebar and can reach the management area from a direct admin route.

Browser job tracking extension with clearer preview and setup

Members can now track jobs directly from supported job boards without leaving their browser, and the extension watches Gmail for recruiter emails to surface prompts when a message looks like a screening, interview, offer, or rejection update. We also improved the extension preview and setup flow with fresh screenshots, clearer branding, and a preview that matches the live popup more closely.

More accurate employer insights

The insights page now counts employer activity more accurately, so saved jobs and hiring responses are less likely to distort the results. It also adds a new Most Competitive Employers view that highlights which employers are drawing the most applications, making it easier to spot crowded opportunities and understand how applications are moving through the pipeline.

Employer logos now appear more often

The Find Jobs view now shows employer logos more reliably, even when a company's website was previously missing from the job data. If a logo is available, it should now show up more consistently beside the employer name.

Simpler onboarding and direct access

We removed the waitlist system, giving all members immediate access to the career manager and job board without needing to join a queue or complete achievements first. Free members can now explore jobs and use the job tracker right away.

Subscription page redesign

The subscription page now shows one plan at a time with a cleaner layout, making it easier to compare options and choose the right tier for your needs. We released this to simplify the upgrade decision and reduce visual clutter when selecting between Lite, Plus, Extra, and Premium.

Buy plans without signing in

You can now purchase Lite or Plus membership directly from a public checkout page without creating an account first. After payment, you're taken to sign up with your email prefilled. We released this to remove barriers for members who want to upgrade quickly without navigating the full onboarding flow upfront.

Resume Builder now requires Plus

Access to Resume Builder is now restricted to Plus members and above. Members on lower plans see a locked screen with an upgrade prompt when attempting to access the tool. We released this to align Resume Builder with the tier where it delivers the most value, given its advanced customization and export features.

Kanban cards are easier to grab

Job tracker Kanban cards now have improved drag-and-drop handling, making it smoother to move applications between stages. We released this to reduce friction when organizing your pipeline.

AI Career Agent

We launched the AI Career Agent to give members faster, more structured help with common job-search tasks inside the platform. We released this to make support easier to access between live coaching, community discussions, and self-serve research, so members can keep moving when they need help improving materials, thinking through next steps, or navigating a job search decision.

Simpler onboarding and direct access

We simplified how new members enter the platform, removing the waitlist system and giving everyone immediate access to the career manager and job board. Free members can now explore jobs and use core features without waiting in a queue or completing achievements first.

Embedded Resume Analyzer on job pages

Job pages now include an embedded Resume Analyzer widget, so members can get resume feedback closer to the moment they are reviewing a role. We released this to make resume support more contextual and reduce the need to switch between separate parts of the product while deciding where to apply.

Job Check-in Types

Check-ins now support distinct types for job search vs. employment tracking. Choose job search to log applications and interviews, or employment to track onboarding and work milestones.

Account Settings Overhaul

You can now change your email and password directly from account settings. We've streamlined security options and removed legacy 2FA to simplify authentication.

Help Documentation Access

New "Help" link in the sidebar takes you directly to our documentation at wearedistributed.org/docs. Find answers faster without leaving the app.

Custom Workflow Schedules

Create and edit custom schedules for your workflows using a visual cron builder. Set exact times for automated job search tasks, follow-ups, and check-ins.

4-Tier Subscription Model

We've updated our subscription structure to Lite, Plus, Extra, and Premium. Each tier now has clearer feature boundaries and pricing to match your career stage.

Apps Section

Access Job Tracker, Resume Builder, and Career CRM from the new Apps section in your sidebar. Jump between tools without losing context.

AI Career Agent Improvements

Your chat history with the AI Career Agent now persists across sessions. We've also added an Actions Library so you can quickly trigger common tasks and refactored the sidebar for cleaner navigation.

Job tracker Integration

Connect your job tracker to sync applications in real-time. The integration uses server-sent events to push updates instantly without polling.

AI Career Agent Tier Limits

AI Career Agent access is now gated by subscription tier. Free users get limited queries; Lite and above unlock full access with higher monthly limits.

Subscription Offer Modal

When upgrading, you'll see a new 3-step modal that walks you through plan selection, feature comparison, and checkout.

Weather Widget

Your dashboard header now shows live weather based on your location. A small quality-of-life addition for remote workers checking conditions across timezones.
