I've screened 10,000+ resumes for Google. Let me review yours and tell you what to improve before you send it to recruiters.
I’ll review your resume personally
4.9
5.0
Get your resume directly annotated, with scoring and insights.
You applied to dozens of job postings. A few callbacks at first, then silence. No feedback, only generic rejection emails. You ran your CV through a resume checker, typed "score my resume" into a chatbot, tweaked keywords. No change.
Tools are nice, but recruiters are ultimately the ones making the decision on your resume. They don't make that decision based on which "action words" you use. Recruiters care about depth of content.
So if you want to know how good your resume actually is, who better than a FAANG recruiter
who has screened tech resumes for a living? That's where I come in: I'm Emmanuel, an ex-Google recruiter and
tech resume writer.
I'll review your resume personally and for free!
What your resume review looks like
The review is delivered as a Google Doc with inline comments on each section.
Below is what one looks
like once I am done.
How the resume review works
All you have to do is submit your resume and target job title
Step 1 of 3
Upload a PDF or DOCX from any form on this page, and tell me the role you are targeting. I will review it against the "role profile" (the actual checklist recruiters use to screen resumes).
Takes 30 seconds
Step 2 of 3
Your resume comes back as a Google Doc with line-by-line comments. I will score each of the 4 key components of your resume:
I review your resume myself, so the advice is based on content and actionable!

Hi Marc,
Good question. Bullet 3 reads junior because it stops at the tool. Say what broke, what you changed, and the number that moved.
Send me the new version and I'll take another look.

What I check when screening your CV
During resume screens, only 4 things matter: your profile summary, your role profile
coverage, the quality of your bullet points and ATS
compliance.
In your review, I'll explain why it matters, and
how to fix it,
with actual context based on my recruiting experience.
Before your resume even gets seen by a human, it needs to pass the robots. If it doesn't, you might already be missing out on most opportunities.
ATS compliance is actually not as complicated as it is made out to be online. I'll let you know whether your CV is visible to recruiters. If it isn't, I'll tell you what to do to fix it today.
All resumes need a Profile Summary.
It's the most misunderstood resume section, yet it's heavily used by recruiters during the first screening (I'll tell you how the full screening process works in the review).
There are 10 key pieces of information to be included in a Profile Summary, which are different for each role. I'll tell you what is missing and why.
Recruiters use role profiles to assess your experience against core competencies needed for the role. These are the cheatsheet for what to write about in your resume.
My entire resume writing methodology is based on these, which is why my clients pass recruiter screens so easily. In the resume review, I'll tell you what areas are covered, and which aren't, based on your target role.
Bullet points are what makes the difference between an average resume and one that gets a callback. Getting chosen is not about being better than the next guy. It's about giving hiring managers more proof that you know what you're doing.
I have developed my own framework to write perfect bullet points (called the "Level System") which I'll use to rate yours. I'll rewrite one of your bullet points so you can see what it should look like.
Real feedback on your resume
Three short notes from people who sent their resume in, fixed what I flagged, and started getting calls back.
"I had been applying for two months with no callbacks. Emmanuel pointed out my profile summary was the issue, gave me the four signals to land, and I rewrote it the same evening. Three callbacks the week after."
"I thought my resume was fine. Emmanuel scored my bullets at 4/10 and showed me, line by line, which ones read junior. Painful but exactly what I needed to hear before another six months of silence."
"I was using a Canva template that looked great in PDF but the ATS was reading it as one big image. The review caught it in five minutes. Switched to a single-column DOCX and started showing up in recruiter searches."
You upload a PDF or DOCX. I open it in Google Docs, score each rubric, and leave concrete comments on every line that is costing you interviews. You get the doc back in under 12 hours.
No card, no signup, no upsell. The review itself is the whole offer.
Myth-busting
You might have a few questions that aren't covered in the resume review. This is intentional, so let me address the common resume screening myths here:
You've probably read something saying that "resumes should be one page long". That isn't true, and recruiters don't care about length. That bad advice comes from a lack of understanding of how recruiters screen resumes. What reviewers don't want is "fluff", which is an entirely different thing.
Three things to understand here:
This is why your resume review will be 100% based on your content, with no surface-level recommendation on style, verbs or length. Recruiters simply don't care about that.
I won't rate your design, because recruiters don't make screening decisions based on design. They prefer boring templates with predictable sections, so that they instantly know where the information they seek is included.
Fancy designs may look cool to you, but they're a nightmare for recruiters who end up spending more time finding what they're looking for. That gets even worse if you've used a tool like Canva to create an image-based resume (as opposed to a text-based one): that causes ATS compliance issues, which I will tell you about in the resume review.
Who is reading your resume
I'm Emmanuel. I've spent 13 years in recruiting, including many years at Google, where I screened 1000s of resumes for engineering and tech roles. That sit-and-decide work is where I learned what actually trips a "yes" versus a "no" on the first read, and what costs candidates the second read.
Now I write tech resumes for a living. The free review exists for two reasons. First, most of the people who hit my site need a much smaller fix than a full rewrite, and a clear set of notes is enough to unlock that. Second, the people who do want me to do the rewrite get a much better outcome when we both know exactly what is broken.
So I do every review myself. No outsourcing, no template responses. You get my actual time, my actual notes, and my honest read. More about my background if you want it.
Side by side
Three different things that all promise feedback on your resume. Here is what each one actually tells you, and what it cannot.
Personal review (this page) · ex-Google recruiter
Software / ATS parser
Chatbot / AI tool
Run a resume checker for the parse, ask AI to score my resume for a quick gut-check, and use this free resume review for the part that actually moves your callback rate.
Tools that pair with the review
The review handles the human judgment. These free tools cover the mechanical checks you can run anytime: parse, simulated 6-second screen, and funnel diagnostic.
Read while you wait for your review
If you want to start fixing things now, these three guides cover the highest-leverage parts of the page. They pair directly with rubrics 1, 2, and 4 of the review.
You've seen what the review covers and how the screen works. The fastest way to know what is keeping you average is to let me read your file and tell you.
Free, personally reviewed, back in your inbox in under 12 hours. No card, no signup.
Yes. The resume review is free, with no signup, no card, no upsell. I read your resume personally and send back a Google Doc with line-by-line comments and a score on each of the four rubrics. If you later want a full rewrite, my paid packages exist, but the review itself comes with no obligation.
Under 12 hours in most cases. I do this work personally, not a tool, so turnaround depends on volume that day. If something would push it past 12 hours I will tell you.
PDF or DOCX, under 5MB. I open the file directly in Google Docs and leave inline comments on each section. You get a shareable link back, so you can act on every comment one by one.
A resume checker scores syntax, formatting, and keyword density. A resume grader gives you a number with no explanation. Neither knows what a recruiter actually scans for in the first 6 seconds, what level signal your bullets carry, or whether your profile summary matches the role. I do, because I screened 1000s of resumes at Google. That is the difference between a quick way to improve your resume score and feedback that lifts your callback rate.
The free resume review gives you a clear plan and rubric scores. If you want me to do the rewriting too, that is the paid resume writing service. The review tells you exactly what is broken; the rewrite is me sitting down and fixing it for you.
The market changed. Three years ago many engineers got interviews with weaker resumes because hiring volume was high. Now there are more applicants per opening, and recruiters reject faster. A resume that used to perform fine is now average, and average gets ignored. The fix is treating your resume as a marketing document for a specific audience.
Heads up. Resume reviews are first-come first-served and depend on my availability that day. If volume gets unmanageable I temporarily pause new submissions on the forms above.
