Free resume review

A free resume review that quotes the line it’s talking about

Every issue comes back with the exact text from your resume that caused it, why it costs you, and the specific change to make. Nothing vague, nothing withheld.

What comes back

The line that caused it

Every issue quotes the text from your own resume that triggered it. Advice you can't trace back to a line is advice you can't act on — and it's what makes generic feedback feel useless.

Why it matters, mechanically

Not “this looks unprofessional” but what actually goes wrong: a table read cell-by-cell, a bullet a skim-reader can't extract a result from, a date format that contradicts the one above it.

A concrete fix, not a category

Each issue comes with the specific change to make. Where the honest fix needs a number only you know, we ask you for it rather than inventing one.

A score you can re-run for free

All 32 checks, five category scores, and one overall number. Change your resume and run it again as many times as you like — re-checks are free forever, and the score difference is shown.

What your report looks like

A condensed example. Your real report covers every issue we find, each one quoting the exact line it comes from.

HighImpact & Quantification

Most bullets are missing a number

Responsible for weekly reporting and dashboard maintenance for the sales team.

Unquantified bullets read as vague duties rather than measurable impact.

Fix: Add a metric — how many reports, for how many people, and what changed because of them.

When this is the wrong tool

Three ways to get your resume reviewed, and what each is honestly bad at — including this one.

A free scanner

$0

Good at

Instant, and fine for catching missing sections or a broken file.

Bad at

Most count keywords and hand you a percentage. Reddit's standing advice — “don't pay for a scanner” — is aimed squarely at the paid versions of these.

This review

$0

Good at

Every issue tied to a line of your text, a published rubric, and the same score for the same resume every time. Real file exports, no account.

Bad at

It's a model reading text. It doesn't know your industry's unwritten norms, can't tell you whether the job is worth applying to, and won't notice that your best story is the one you left off.

A human reviewer

$89–149

Good at

Judgement, industry context, and the questions a model doesn't know to ask about your career.

Bad at

Days of turnaround, quality varies wildly by reviewer, and most of what they'll fix first is what this page finds in 20 seconds — so run this before you pay anyone.

Human-review pricing is a market range from our own competitor research, not a quote — it varies by reviewer and seniority.

You can read the rubric before you upload anything

All 32 checks, the exact word lists we match against, and how the five categories combine into one score are published. The same resume gets the same score every time, and you can see why before you trust it.

Resume review — common questions

Is the resume review actually free?

Yes. Your score, all five category scores, and every issue we find are free with no sign-up and no credit card. An email unlocks line-level detail on your top three issues. The only paid thing is having your bullets rewritten for you.

How is this different from a human resume review?

It's faster, free, repeatable, and consistent — and it's reading text, not your career. A human reviewer brings industry judgement and will ask about things you left off. We'd suggest running this first, because most of what a paid reviewer fixes in the first pass is what this catches in 20 seconds.

Will you rewrite my resume for me?

That part is paid: $9 rewrites every weak bullet in your own words, aimed at one job posting, delivered as a Word and PDF file. The rewrites never invent a metric, employer, skill or date — where a number would help, we ask you for it.

How long does a review take?

About 20 seconds. Upload a file or paste your text and the results appear at a private link you can reopen for 30 days, or delete permanently with one click.

Do you keep my resume?

The file is parsed for text and discarded immediately — the original is never stored. The extracted text is hard-deleted after 30 days, or the moment you press delete.
