Frequently asked questions
Does it check my resume against a specific job description?
Yes. Feedback is based on your resume and the job description together, so results are specific to the role you are applying for.
Will it invent skills or projects I don't have?
No. Feedback is based only on what's already in your resume — it never fabricates technologies or achievements on your behalf.
