About this tool & how to use it

What it does

Paste your resume to check length, bullets, weak wording, missing numbers, filler phrases and repeated words. Plain-English fixes, no score, nothing uploaded.

How to use it

  1. Paste your resume as plain text. Start bullets with "-", "•" or "*".
  2. Read the count of things worth a look, then each finding in plain English.
  3. Work through "What to do next" in order. Fix the top item, then paste it again.

Nothing is sent or stored. Bullets starting with -, • or * are checked as accomplishments.

Assumptions

  • This is a reading check, not how any employer or applicant tracking system reads a resume. It never claims a resume will pass or fail anywhere, and there is no score.
  • A finding is a prompt to look, not a rule. If a flagged word really belongs, keep it.
  • Only claim what is true. The checker never adds experience or numbers for you.
  • Your text stays in your browser and is not sent or stored.

How it works

Length is counted in words and pages at about 500 words a page.

Each bullet is checked for a number, percent or dollar amount, a weak opening such as "responsible for", a length over 35 words and a first word used on three or more bullets.

The text is also checked for common filler phrases, first-person words, sensitive details such as a Social Security number, and obvious layout problems. All rules are fixed and run in your browser.

Questions

Does this tell me if my resume will pass an ATS?

No. Nobody outside an employer can know how its system reads a resume. This tool checks clarity, wording and obvious problems.

How long should a resume be?

Many readers prefer one or two pages. The tool flags very long and very short resumes, but the right length depends on your experience.

Is my resume uploaded?

No. The check runs in your browser and nothing you paste is sent or stored.
