From a check to a clearer application
How to use your resume check
Start with a PDF or Word document containing selectable text. You can add a target job title or job description if you want the check to compare your wording with that role.
Make the relevant details clear
Correct missing contact details and unclear descriptions first. Explain the work you actually did and use the employer's terminology only where it accurately describes your experience.
Review the finished document
Check dates, spelling and the layout after editing. You can continue into the resume builder from your results, or explore editable resume and CV templates and practical guidance on writing a job resume.
Transparent criteria
What this resume check measures
The score is a practical content diagnostic, not a recruiter decision, interview prediction or guaranteed ATS score.
Essential information
Looks for contact details and recognizable experience, education, skills and summary sections.
Structure and readability
Checks document length, section coverage, date signals, bullet usage and unusually dense text.
Employment evidence
Looks for clear role history, action-led descriptions and evidence signals. It never asks you to invent figures.
Content quality
Flags repeated vague phrases, excessive first-person wording and descriptions that may need clearer detail.
Target relevance
When you supply a target role, compares meaningful keywords locally without sending the job description to analytics.
You remain in control
Every finding is guidance. Review suggestions against your real experience before changing the document.
Important: Formatting inside tables, columns, images and design elements cannot always be measured accurately from extracted text. The checker reports only the signals it can substantiate.
