Free Resume Checker

Paste your resume text for a quick set of common-sense checks — length, contact details, measurable results, and weak wording. A second pair of eyes, not a verdict.

What this is: a quick set of common-sense checks (length, contact details, sections, measurable results, weak wording). What it is not: an ATS scan or any guarantee of getting interviews. No tool can promise that, and your results are not uploaded anywhere.

How to read your results

Treat the score as a nudge, not a grade. The notes point you toward the highest-leverage fixes: adding numbers to your accomplishments, removing tired phrases like “responsible for,” and making sure your contact details and section headings are clear.

This check deliberately stays simple and honest. It is not an ATS simulator, and no online tool can guarantee interviews — be wary of any that claim to. To improve specific lines, use the bullet point generator, then rebuild cleanly in the resume builder.

Is this an ATS scanner?
No. It is a basic readability and formatting checker, not an applicant tracking system simulator. It looks at length, contact details, section headings, measurable results, and weak wording. It cannot tell you how a specific company’s software will parse your file.
Does a high score mean I will get interviews?
No tool can promise that, and this one does not try to. The score is a rough guide to help you spot quick improvements. Interviews depend on fit, experience, and many factors beyond formatting.
Is my resume uploaded?
No. The text you paste is analyzed entirely in your browser and is never sent anywhere.
What does it actually check?
Length, presence of an email/phone/link, common section headings, bullet points, how many quantified results you include, overused filler phrases, and overly long lines.
