Why this matters

Most job seekers have no idea how their resume actually performs. Recruiters spend an average of 7 seconds on an initial resume scan. A grading tool gives you objective feedback on what is working and what is not, so you can fix weak spots before sending it to employers. How the grade works: your score out of 100 combines five factors — ATS compatibility, content and impact, action verbs, quantified achievements, and structure and length. A score of 90+ means your resume is interview-ready; 70–89 is solid but improvable; below 70 means specific sections are quietly costing you interviews. Fixing your lowest-scoring section first usually gives the biggest jump, which is why the grader ranks fixes by impact rather than listing everything at once.
