Frequently asked questions

How do I make a Software Engineer resume that passes the ATS?

Most Software Engineer applications are first read by an applicant tracking system that scores your resume against the job description's keywords. Upload your current resume and paste the posting — we rewrite it to weave in the relevant keywords naturally, use a clean single-column layout, and show you exactly which keywords you're still missing.

Will this invent experience or credentials I don't have?

No. We only rephrase, reorder, and emphasize what's already in your resume. We never fabricate employers, dates, degrees, or numbers — that gets candidates caught in interviews and we won't do it.

What keywords does an ATS look for in a Software Engineer resume?

It varies by posting, but common ones for Software Engineer roles include JavaScript, Python, React, REST APIs, CI/CD, and more. Our free scan compares your resume to the specific job you paste and lists the matched and missing keywords.

How much does it cost?

Seeing your ATS score, the keyword gaps, and a preview of your tailored resume is free. Unlocking the full rewrite and downloading the clean DOCX and PDF is a one-time fee — no subscription.

What file formats do I get?

You download both a Microsoft Word (DOCX) and a PDF version, both formatted to be ATS-safe: single column, standard fonts, real bullet lists, no graphics.
