your overall ATS score

Not bad at all! But some quick updates could make a big difference.
AI suggestions
- Try to keep your resume under 3 pages. Unless you're a doctor or have a highly specialized background, shorter resumes are easier for recruiters and ATS systems to scan. Keep it focused and relevant.
- Include a link to your portfolio. Whether it's code or design work, a portfolio gives hiring teams a chance to see what you can actually do. It’s one of the most valuable links you can add.
content quality
82/100
Strong resumes tell a clear story. Not just what you did, but why it mattered. Grammar, specificity, and clarity all count.
- Start with action. Always. Start with action. Always. Each bullet should kick off with a strong verb, “led,” “designed,” “launched,” “optimized.” If your bullets start with “responsible for,” it’s time for a rewrite. Action words make your contributions clear and compelling.
- No numbers? No proof. Saying you “led a project” is fine, but saying you “led a project that increased retention by 24%” is way better. Numbers give your achievements weight and credibility. Without them, your impact is just guesswork.
format & structure
72/100
ATS software needs a clean structure to read your resume properly. Complex formatting or unusual layouts can break parsing.
- You've listed too many skills. Try to keep it under 30. Too many skills can make your resume look unfocused or inflated. Focus on the ones most relevant to the roles you're targeting. Quality over quantity helps recruiters see what you're really good at.
- Add a professional title near the top of your resume. A clear title helps recruiters quickly understand what kind of role you're targeting. It sets the tone and shows where you fit professionally. E.g., “Project Manager” or “Administrative Assistant” works well.
keywords & relevance
55/100
Many companies use keyword-matching algorithms to filter resumes. Without the right terms, your resume might not even get seen.
- The resume title/summary should match the job title semantically. Make sure your headline and first lines reflect the role you’re applying to.
