Runs an AI ATS resume check for software jobs using HackerRank's open-source hiring-agent . Text is sent to OpenAI's paid API; according to OpenAI's API policy, it is not used for training. Scores are hidden because automated ATS scores can be misleading, so the resume report focuses on concrete fixes for screening, relevance, and readability.

Reviews your resume for content, clarity, structure, and resume writing choices using criteria inspired by this famous 2018 Reddit post:

"I'm an ex-recruiter for some of the top companies in the world. I've screened tens of thousands of resumes, and today I published my preferred resume format, free to download as a Word doc, along with some general resume advice."

Converts your PDF resume into Universal Resume markdown, design, and format so you can edit, publish résumé website, and download an PDF.

RESUME FORMAT

How to write a resume?

  • › First section: Experience or Projects
    • • The reader scans the resume for about ten seconds, so your first three job bullets matter most; anyone can write that they are great in self-summary
  • › Opening text of each job — either:
    • • a paragraph about the company (users, revenue, market position, etc.)
    • • or a bullet about your role's primary responsibility
  • › Following bullets: one responsibility each
    • • Each sub-bullet: one key result, detail, or status of the parent bullet
  • › Relevance decay — recent role: many bullets; older: fewer; oldest: title and dates only
  • › One bullet point shouldn't have too many lines of text
  • › Instead of a separate Skills section, list skills directly under the jobs and projects where you used them (co-located skills)
  • › Write about your guiding principles (design, engineering, operational, etc.)
  • › List your other interests; they attract the right fit naturally
  • › This guide is inspired by Colin McIntosh's Reddit post
  • › Below is an example of an Other Notes section (guiding principles, interests, languages, etc.)
