What you need before you start
- The file itself — a PDF, a scan, or a photo of every page.
- The target role or the statement period, so the analysis has a reference.
- Two minutes. No account is needed for the first run.
Check your engineering resume
1. Open the checker
No signup for the first check.
2. Upload or paste your resume
PDF, DOCX, image (OCR) or plain text.
3. Enter the role you're targeting
“Backend engineer”, “DevOps engineer”, “iOS developer” — the keyword expectations differ.
4. Review the tech keyword gap
The missing-keyword list shows which technologies and practices your target role expects.
5. Apply the rewrites and re-check
Each run takes seconds, so iterate until the score settles high.
What the output looks like
A clean table you can import — not a wall of text you have to re-key.
Sample report
0–100Illustrative output. Your scores depend on the role you target.
Supported banks and formats
The parser is trained on statement layouts, not one bank's template. These are the most common; anything with a table and a balance column is worth trying.
Engineer-specific ATS traps
Technical resumes fail for technical reasons. These are the five most common:
- Acronyms without expansion
- Parsers match exact strings. Write “CI/CD (continuous integration / continuous delivery)” once so both forms are searchable.
- Tech buried in bullet prose
- Keep a plain-text skills section listing each technology exactly as job posts name it — “Kubernetes”, not “a container orchestration tool”.
- Projects without a stack
- A project bullet that doesn't name languages and frameworks contributes nothing to keyword matching.
- Skill rating bars
- “JavaScript ★★★★☆” is text-less decoration; state proficiency in words instead.
- Links as badges
- GitHub and portfolio links must be plain, selectable URLs — icon tiles don't carry text.
- Output you can trust
- Every report is generated through strict output validation — if a response is malformed, the system automatically retries once with the original input — so your suggestions arrive structured, not garbled.
Engineer FAQ
Should I list every technology I've ever touched?
No — list what the target role's posting expects, honestly. The missing-keyword list tells you exactly which named technologies your target role looks for; anything beyond that is noise.
Can one resume work for all engineering jobs?
Rarely. A backend role and a DevOps role expect different keyword sets. Because you enter a target role, run one check per role family and keep a tailored skills section for each.
Do my GitHub links matter to an ATS?
Links matter to the human who reads the resume after the ATS. Make sure they're plain selectable text — parser-safe — and that the projects they point to name their tech stack.
