Generic advice — "use action verbs", "quantify your impact", "keep it to one page" — is not wrong, but it is not actionable either. You already know your bullets should be stronger. What you need is someone to point at a specific line and show you the better version.

That is what this does. It reads what you actually wrote, identifies the bullets that are describing responsibilities rather than results, and rewrites them using what is already in your document. It will not invent a metric you did not supply — if a bullet needs a number to work, it marks where the number goes rather than fabricating one.

Each section is scored separately, because they fail differently. Summaries tend to be vague. Experience bullets tend to describe duties instead of outcomes. Skills sections tend to be either padded with filler or missing the terms the role actually asks for. Education and extras tend to take up space they have not earned.

If you paste the job description as well, the feedback shifts from general quality to fit: which of that posting's requirements your resume evidences, and which it leaves the reader to assume. Tailoring is the single highest-return edit most applicants never make, and this shows you precisely what to tailor.

Work in this order: anything the report says cannot be read, then the top third of page one, then bullets with no outcome, then wording. Most people start with wording, which is the part that moves the least.

The top third matters more than the rest of the document combined, because it is what a recruiter reads before deciding to keep going. If your current title, the scale you work at and one clear result are not visible there, nothing further down gets a fair hearing.

A good bullet says what you did, at what scale, and what changed. If a bullet would still be true of anyone else who held that job title, it is a duty rather than an achievement, and it is costing you a line.

Scale is the part people skip. “Managed onboarding” and “Managed onboarding for 40 new hires a quarter across three offices” describe the same work, and only one of them tells a stranger how big the job was. Where there is no number, use the before and the after.
