🔑

Paste a job description to begin

Review possible keywords grouped by type, with text-overlap results if you add your resume. Confirm requirements in the original posting.

Check the complete application

Review contact details, attachments, and any employer-specific questions together. If an upload fails, follow the file type and size instructions shown on that particular form; our checker cannot diagnose the portal configuration.

Check the document separately

Copy text from your exported resume into a plain-text editor. Check the reading order and whether names, dates, and contact details remain intact. This is a basic readability check, not a vendor parser test.

Common Mistakes This Page Can Help You Catch

Treating a tool score as an approval

A resume score describes feedback from that tool. It cannot certify compatibility with an employer’s portal or predict whether you will be shortlisted.
