Choose projects for relevance

Select projects that demonstrate skills requested by the role. Explain the question, your own task and the output, then link a public portfolio if available. Remove confidential research records and describe limitations honestly; an academic finding is not automatically a commercial outcome.

Read the role review with care

The graduate research assistant review checks three kinds of evidence: education details, applied learning, personal ownership. Each detected item links to a source line. A missing item is a prompt to review your wording, not proof that you lack the skill. The role review does not change the general compatibility score. Use a real job description for employer-specific term matching.

Tailor without keyword stuffing

Start with the vacancy, highlight its genuine requirements and choose the experience that supports them. Terms such as research and projects are examples, not universal requirements. Add a term to the skills section only if it is true, and support important skills with a concrete experience bullet. Re-check the edited text and compare the evidence, not just the number.

FAQ

Questions before you upload?

English resumes only. PDF text extraction and DOCX paragraphs are checked; visual fonts, all tables, and every ATS layout behavior cannot be verified. Scanned PDFs need OCR elsewhere.

Should I list all modules and grades?+

Usually a short, relevant selection is easier to assess. Include requested academic information accurately, and use the space for projects that demonstrate application of the subject.

What does the graduate research assistant review actually check?+

It searches for education details, applied learning, personal ownership. The result shows detected wording with its source line, or a review prompt when no wording is found. It does not verify qualifications, employment or achievement claims.

Why did selecting this role not change my overall score?+

The overall score measures the same four general checks for everyone. Role evidence is a separate review so a keyword list cannot inflate your compatibility score. JD matching is separate too.

Is the full resume check free?+

Yes. You can see every score, issue and extracted line without an account. Basic checks, two-JD comparison and report printing are free.

Does my resume leave my device?+

Basic checks run in your browser. Files and job descriptions are not uploaded. AI rewriting is optional and sends only the selected text to our server and Cloudflare Workers AI after your consent.

Is this my actual ATS score?+

No. Employers use different systems and rules. This is a reproducible heuristic check, not an employer score, ranking prediction or guarantee. AI is used only for optional rewriting.
