Resume optimizer: fix the gaps, then sharpen the wording
Optimising a resume starts with knowing what is missing. Check your resume free, then improve it with rewrites or rebuild it in our resume builder.
Optimise in the right order
Rewording a resume that lacks the skills a role asks for does not help much. So the order is: find the gaps, close what you honestly can, then polish the wording.
- Check your resume for the role and read the top three gaps
- Use the full report to see weak lines with rewrite suggestions
- Rebuild or tidy the layout in the resume builder
- Check again and compare the change
AI resume optimiser, with guardrails
The optional AI helper suggests clearer versions of your own lines. It is not allowed to invent facts: any number it adds must be a placeholder like [X] for you to fill with the real figure, and your contact details are removed before anything is sent.
If a suggestion breaks these rules, it is dropped and you see a rules-based suggestion instead.
Free optimizer or paid report?
The free preview shows the top three gaps, which is often enough to start. The full report adds every gap, line-by-line rewrites, a cover letter draft, practice interview questions and a PDF, for one resume and one role in a single payment.
How it works
- Find the gaps. Run the free check for your target role.
- Improve the lines. Replace duties with results, using your real numbers.
- Build a clean copy. Use the resume builder for a simple one-column layout.
Questions
Is the resume optimizer free?
Checking your resume and seeing the top three gaps is free. Full rewrites are part of the paid report.
Will AI make things up on my resume?
It is not allowed to. Added numbers must be placeholders, and output that fails the checks is dropped.
Optimiser or optimizer, is there a difference?
No. It is the same tool; the two spellings are British and American.
Can I build a new resume here?
Yes. The resume builder makes a clean, readable resume you can download.
Scores, pay ranges and plans are estimates based on the resume you upload and the job postings we could read at the time. They are guidance for improving your resume, not a prediction of any hiring decision.
