For liberal arts students & recent graduates

[]

You did the work. Now get the words.

Most career tools extract skills from a resume. Unbracket helps you discover them — through structured reflection on the essays, seminars, projects and jobs you already did.

Built with AI, intentionally. Here's why →

How it works

Five steps, in your own words.

Unbracket doesn't write your resume for you. It finds the skills already in the work you've done, gives you the words and the bullets to carry them, and leaves the final call to you.

  1. [ Reflect through guided prompts ]

    Short, specific questions surface the choices you made, the constraints you worked within, and the people you moved. You discover the skills you already have by talking through them or writing them out. Your choice.

  2. [ Bring one piece of your work ]

    A seminar paper, a thesis chapter, a group project, a summer job, a club you led. Anything you actually did — not a resume bullet.

  3. [ See your first read, free ]

    When you finish reflecting, Unbracket shows you the themes it's noticing in your own answers — a plain-language first read of the skills taking shape. It's free, and it's yours to correct before anything else is built.

  4. [ Unlock your full profile ]

    The full profile names each skill in the words employers search for, ties every one to something you actually said, and drafts resume bullets you can use. It also shows you where one small addition would strengthen your evidence for a skill. This is what you get after paying for Unbracket.

  5. [ Keep only what you can defend ]

    The last step is yours. Fill the bracketed blanks with your own real numbers, and read every bullet against one test: could you defend it in an interview? If you can't stand behind a line, cut it. Do that well and you've practiced critical AI use — a skill worth a bullet of its own.

Questions

The ones we get most.

Is this another AI resume rewriter?

No. Unbracket doesn't rewrite what's already on your resume — it starts before the resume, with the work itself. The output is the skills you already have, translated into the language employers look for, with drafted bullet points you can add to your resume.

Do I need to know what career I want first?

No. Most of our users don't. Unbracket is designed to be useful before you've decided — the reflection produces a durable map of what you can do, which you can then aim in different directions.

Will it make my liberal arts degree sound like a business degree?

No. Unbracket is designed specifically to help you uncover the skills you learned in your liberal arts coursework. Then it names them in language recruiters recognize without stripping out what made the work yours in the first place.

What does it cost?

The reflection questions and your first read are free — you answer the prompts, and Unbracket shows you a plain-language read of the skills taking shape, with no payment needed. You only pay for the full profile, which names each skill in the words employers search for, ties every one to something you actually said, and drafts resume bullets you can use. It's a one-time payment: $29 for 90-day access, or $59 for lifetime access. Before you decide, you can look at a sample first read and sample full profiles.

Will this work if I'm a grad student or faculty member?

Partly. Unbracket is built for undergraduates and recent graduates, and the reflection and skill framing are tuned to that stage. Grad students often still get useful results, especially from coursework, teaching, and research. A version designed for faculty and others with deeper, more specialized experience is something we're building — it's not ready yet.

How are the reports generated?

You answer a short series of reflection questions about work you've actually done — papers, projects, jobs, roles. Unbracket uses AI to name the skills living inside what you describe and draft resume-ready language for each one, always tied to a specific piece of evidence. Where a line needs a real number, it leaves a bracketed blank for you to fill in. It's guided reflection, not a resume scanner.

What does "liberal arts" mean?

It's the broad group of fields focused on reading, writing, analysis, and reasoning rather than a single vocational track — the humanities (English, history, philosophy, languages, the arts) and the social sciences. If your degree taught you to work with ideas, sources, and arguments, it's probably liberal arts, and Unbracket is built for you.

Will this work if I have a STEM degree?

Though Unbracket is designed with liberal arts students in mind, our tests show that it responds well to STEM profiles as well. It may even help you identify some of the skills emphasized in liberal arts majors that could help differentiate your application from other STEM majors.

How should I format my resume once I have my Unbracket language?

Unbracket gives you the words; formatting is up to you, and simple wins. Use a clean, single-column layout in a standard font, list your experience in reverse chronological order, and keep it to one page while you're early-career. Replace every bracketed placeholder with a real number from your own work before you send it — a resume with [ ] still in it isn't finished. Mirror the language of the specific job posting you're applying to, save and send it as a PDF unless the employer asks otherwise, and avoid heavy design, tables, or graphics that applicant-tracking systems can misread. The goal is for a recruiter to scan it in a few seconds and see the skills, tied to real evidence.
