What the roast covers
One paste. Four verdicts. Zero sugar-coating.
ATS Score (0–100)
How well your resume survives the applicant tracking software that screens it before a human ever reads it.
The Roast
3–5 specific weak points, called out honestly — buzzwords, missing numbers, formatting that parsers choke on.
What's Working
Your genuine strengths, so you know exactly what to keep when you rewrite.
Rewrite Tips + Pro Tip
Concrete, specific suggestions to fix the weak spots — plus one killer career tip to take with you.
What a roast looks like
Sample output — yours will be about your resume.
"Solid experience buried under buzzwords — this reads like a mission statement, not a track record."
The Roast
- "Responsible for managing cross-functional synergies" — nobody has ever hired a synergy manager. Say what you shipped.
- Your last three bullets contain zero numbers. Recruiters skim for digits — give them one per bullet.
- A two-column layout looks great to you and like scrambled soup to an ATS parser.
What's Working
- Clean reverse-chronological structure that parsers and humans can both follow.
- Job titles match the roles you're actually applying for — keyword relevance is there.
Rewrite tips and the pro tip come with your own roast.

Why a roast beats resume tips
Generic resume advice tells you to "use action verbs" and "quantify achievements." You've read that article. Your resume still isn't getting callbacks, and nobody will tell you why — friends are too polite, and recruiters don't send feedback, they send silence.
A roast is different: it looks at your actual resume and names the specific lines that are hurting you. Most large employers screen applications with ATS software before a human reads them, so the roast starts with an ATS compatibility score — then covers what a human skimming for six seconds will and won't see. Brutal on the page, so the interview isn't.
