Frequently Asked Questions about Resume Review

What is a resume check?

A resume check is online software that scans your resume and instructs how to improve your resume. Some of those tools come with a resume builder, like ours, so you can create one from scratch or upload one you already have made. You may need to pay a small fee or subscribe to use them.

Our resume checker will automatically scan your document to look for mistakes and opportunities and compare your application to others in our database. You'll find out what resume sections and keywords need work. The resume review is free if you decide to make a resume with our builder.

How can I check my resume score for free?

To access our free resume critique service, use our builder to create your resume. Our resume writers have designed 18 professional resume templates customized to fit your needs. You can also upload your own resume to be formatted only and still make your resume stand out with our resume scanner.

How do I scan my resume for keywords?

When you have access to our resume reviewer, upload your resume (or simply select the one you’ve just created) and paste the job ad from one of the job search sites that interests you. Run our AI-powered algorithm and see your resume score. If it’s not satisfactory, you’ll need to tailor your resume better to the job description by using the keywords that the scanner couldn’t find in your application.

What is a resume score?

You receive a resume score once the resume keyword scanner crosses-checks the contents of your resume with those of the job description. You can also get it from a resume review tool that scans your resume for necessary information and correct sections.

What is a good ATS score for a resume?

80%.

A resume must meet this threshold to pass the ATS screening (if you don’t know what an ATS is, read our guide on ATS-friendly resumes). If you have less than 80%, your resume may end up in a pile of no-reads. To make sure you meet this score, check out our best resume templates, and pick one. Then, you’ll only have to worry about using the right keywords.

Is a resume review worth it?

Yes.

You may not even realize how much having an ATS-compliant resume matters. Basically, your job depends on it. And this is because your resume won’t land on a recruiter’s desk until the software parses it and gives you the green light. Tools like our resume grader can help you with what your resume should look like to be successful.

Besides, even if the company doesn’t use any software, they’ll still interview the candidates that sent the best resumes, and having a great resume score ensures yours is among that batch.
