How it works
- Add your resume. Upload a PDF, Word or plain-text file, or paste the text. No signup, no credit card.
- The AI reads it like a recruiter. Your resume is checked against the role you target: structure, keywords, and the evidence hiring managers screen for.
- Get your score and fixes in about 30 seconds. A 0 to 100 readiness score, ATS problems, missing evidence and your weakest lines rewritten.
What the free review checks
ATS and formatting
Structure, section headers, dates and parsing problems that get resumes auto-rejected by applicant tracking systems.
Readiness score
A 0 to 100 score calibrated from interview-ready down to needs-rework, so you know exactly where you stand.
Evidence for the role
Skills and proof the target role expects that your resume doesn't show yet, and what to add.
Your weakest lines, rewritten
The weakest bullets quoted verbatim and rewritten with concrete scope, action and measurable outcome.
What already works
The genuine strengths worth keeping and leading with.
Quick wins
Concrete fixes you can make within an hour, before your next application goes out.
Common questions
Is the resume review really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no trial. To keep it fair there's a limit of 5 reviews per day per person, plus a total daily cap for everyone. If you want a human to go deeper afterwards, our career experts do paid 1:1 work.
What happens to my resume after the review?
We don't store it. Your resume is analyzed once to generate the feedback and isn't saved on our servers or used for anything else.
Which formats can I upload?
PDF, Word (.docx) and plain-text files up to 5 MB, or paste the text directly. PDFs keep their layout, so the formatting feedback is sharpest.
What is an ATS check and why does it matter?
An ATS (applicant tracking system) is the software most companies use to filter resumes before a human ever sees them. The review flags the structure, header and keyword problems that typically get resumes filtered out.
How is this different from other free resume checkers?
It's built by GotAJob, a community of real job-offer stories. The feedback is tuned to what actually got people hired, and when you want more than software, a human expert with real hiring experience can take over.
Do I need an account?
No. The review runs without signup. An account is only needed if you want to share your own job-offer story on GotAJob.
