Step by step

1. 1

   Drop your résumé on the homepage

   Drag a PDF, DOCX or TXT file onto “Drop your résumé here”, or click the box to choose one. Scoring takes about 30 seconds.

2. 2

   Read your score

   You get a score out of 100 and a grade: Excellent (85+), Good (70–84), Fair (50–69) or Needs work (under 50). Most first uploads land between 55 and 75 — the fixes below are how you move up.

3. 3

   See what it’s made of

   The score adds up six areas, weighted by how much they matter to a recruiter: Bullet quality (40 points — action verbs, specific, one idea per line), Structure (15 — experience, education, skills, dates and titles on every role), Quantified impact (15 — numbers in over half your bullets), Contact (10 — name, email, phone, city, a profile link), Length (10 — 300–1,100 words, a focused skills list) and Summary (5 — 25–90 words, no “I”).

4. 4

   Start with the top fixes

   The fixes are ordered by impact: the first one is worth the most points. A missing phone number or numbers in only a third of your bullets usually cost more than anything else.

5. 5

   Check it against a job (optional)

   Click “Applying for a specific job? Add the post to see your match”, paste the job post and press “Check my match”. You’ll see how many of its keywords you cover and which must-haves are missing.

6. 6

   Fix it in the editor

   Press “Fix my résumé free”. After you create an account, your upload becomes an editable résumé with every fix listed in the Checklist — no retyping. The score updates as you type.
