Resume Improver
Upload your resume and get your own lines back with the specific fix next to each: a stronger opening verb, the number a bullet is missing, passive voice, “I” and “my”, and buzzwords like “team player”. Free, no sign-up, and your file is read in your browser, never uploaded.
Your resume
How to use it
- Upload your resume as a PDF or Word file, or paste the text.
- Read the flagged lines: each shows what's wrong and what to do instead.
- Rewrite them in your resume, using the verb swaps and number prompts.
- Run the ATS checker and a job description match to finish.
What this tool checks
Weak openings: “responsible for”, “worked on”, “helped with”, with stronger verbs to swap in. Missing numbers: bullets with no count, percentage, dollar amount or time, plus a prompt for which number fits. Passive voice: “was cleaned” instead of “cleaned”. “I” and “my”: resumes leave out first person. Clichés: “team player”, “hard-working”, “results-driven”, “synergy”, “go-getter” and similar words that tell without showing.
How these fixes work
These are fixed rules, not AI. They catch the patterns recruiters skim past, and they can't judge whether a bullet is true or relevant, so read each suggestion and keep only what fits. Your lines stay in your browser. The suggested rewrite is a starting point: add your real number, tool and result.
Frequently asked questions
How do I improve my resume?
Start every bullet with a strong action verb, add a number to each bullet where you honestly can, remove “I” and passive phrasing, cut clichés, and keep it to one page. This tool finds those lines in your resume.
Is this resume improver free?
Yes. It's free, needs no account, and runs in your browser. Your resume is never uploaded.
Does this tool use AI?
No. It uses fixed rules and word lists, so results are the same every time. For an AI rewrite there's a separate tool with one free use a day.
What are weak words on a resume?
Openings like “responsible for”, “worked on”, “helped” and “assisted”. They describe a duty, not what you did. Replace them with a specific verb: led, built, cut, resolved, launched.
How many numbers should a resume have?
Aim for a number in about half of your bullets: counts, percentages, dollars, time saved, size. Estimates are fine if they're honest.
