Resume Studio

Your resume is read twice.
We grade you on both readings.

A parser decides whether a human ever sees it. A recruiter decides in six seconds after that. Resume Studio scores you against both — ten measured layers, each traced back to the exact line that caused it, each with the fix already written.

Why applications vanish

You are rejected by a machine before a person disagrees.

The parse breaks

Two columns, a header block, a table, a decorative glyph — your experience arrives as soup, or doesn't arrive at all. You never find out.

The words don't match

You built the checkout funnel; the posting says "payments". A keyword filter scores that as zero, and it was the strongest thing on your page.

The six seconds are wasted

Your best line is on page two. The top third — the only part reliably read — is where "responsible for" lives.

The workflow

Four steps, about ten minutes.

Nothing here is a black box. Every step shows you what it found and why it matters — and you decide what to keep.

  1. 01

    Bring what you already have

    Drop a PDF, DOCX or TXT and it's parsed exactly the way an ATS parses it — then we tell you where that parse broke, because the break is the reason you weren't called. No resume yet? Describe your work in plain language and get a full structured draft, or start from one of twelve real formats.

    See the score — and the evidence under it

    Eight layers, each measured separately, each with published weights: keyword match, semantic relevance, role alignment, experience depth, impact, readability, parser compatibility, completeness. Open any layer and you see the lines that produced it. A confidence band tells you how much to trust the number.

  3. 03

    Paste the job — get the gap, then close it

    The posting is split into must-haves and nice-to-haves, weighted by how it was written. You see three lists that matter: what you've demonstrated inside your bullets, what you've only claimed in a skills row, and what's genuinely missing. Then one click tailors a copy — reordered, reworded into the posting's vocabulary, resummarised for it.

    Send something you can defend

    Export a PDF typeset with LaTeX, a single-column Word file with no text boxes to confuse a parser, Overleaf-ready .tex, plain text for portals that ask you to paste, or a revocable web link. Every version you save is filed with the score it had.

The one rule

It will never write an achievement you didn't have.

Every other tool in this category will happily turn "worked on the billing module" into "drove a 40% increase in billing efficiency". That number is now something you have to defend in an interview, and you can't. This engine refuses. Where a metric belongs but you didn't supply one, you get a marked placeholder to fill in — and when a rewrite introduces a term your original didn't have, it's flagged for you to confirm.

Things the other tools don't show you.

◐

Attention heat map

Where a reader's eyes actually go, mapped against where your strongest lines sit. The mismatch — a great bullet below the fold, a weak one at the top — is the cheapest fix on most resumes, and nobody else surfaces it.

◔

Six-second scan probability

A weighted model over eight structural features, with every factor shown so you can move it. Plus honest reading times: skim, first pass, full read.

✎

Six rewrite stances

Concise, impact-heavy, technical depth, leadership, ATS-optimised, story-driven. Rewrite one bullet or a whole role — and no two bullets come back starting with the same verb.

↗

Career advisor

What to learn next, what to build to prove it, which certifications are actually worth the money (most aren't, and it says which), and which roles you're already most of the way toward.

▦

Twelve real formats

Jake's, Harvard, Stanford, FAANG, MBB consulting, academic CV, fresher and more — each with an honest parser-safety rating. We'll tell you a two-column resume parses badly rather than sell you one quietly.

◎

Market awareness

A resume for a startup isn't a resume for a bank, and a German CV isn't a US one. Region and company-type rules change what the document should contain, not just how it looks.

Who it's for

Different people, different checklist.

A student with no jobs isn't an incomplete professional — they're a different document. The engine scores each profile against its own standard.

Students & freshers

Education and projects lead. Judged on projects and evidence, not the employment history you don't have yet.

Experienced professionals

Tenure, trajectory and scope. Where your years are being under-sold, and which bullets read as duties instead of outcomes.

Career changers

Adjacent-skill mapping and a readiness score for the roles you're closest to — with the one thing that unlocks each.

Researchers

A real academic CV: publications, grants, teaching and talks, uncapped length — and a warning when you're about to send it to a company recruiter.

Score the resume you already have.

It takes about thirty seconds, needs no account, and the number comes with the reasons.

Scoring, diagnostics and export run locally and are free of tokens — only generation, tailoring and the finished artefact are metered.
