Got questions? We've got answers. Find everything you need to know about Resume Revamp, from getting started to optimizing your job search.

Getting Started

How does Resume Revamp work?

Resume Revamp uses AI-powered analysis to optimize your resume for ATS (Applicant Tracking System) compatibility. You can either upload a PDF resume or manually enter your information. Then, paste the job description you're applying for, and our system will analyze your resume, identify missing keywords, suggest improvements, and generate an optimized version tailored to that specific role.

Do I need to create an account?

Yes, creating a free account allows you to save your optimized resumes, track your ATS scores over time, and access your optimization history. You can start with our free plan which includes 5 AI resume audits per month.

What's the difference between PDF upload and manual input?

PDF upload is faster if you already have a resume. Just upload it and paste the job description. Manual input lets you build your resume from scratch or update your information. With manual input, you write your information once and can then optimize it for multiple job descriptions without re-entering everything.

How long does optimization take?

Most optimizations complete in 30-60 seconds. The system analyzes your resume, compares it to the job description, identifies gaps, and generates an optimized version with improved ATS compatibility.

ATS & Scoring

How accurate is your ATS scoring?

We benchmark our scoring engine against real ATS systems like Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, and iCIMS. Our models are updated weekly based on real hiring trends and recruiter feedback. Every score comes with a detailed breakdown showing exactly how we evaluated your resume and where to improve.

What does the ATS score mean?

The ATS score (0-100%) indicates how well your resume matches what the ATS system is looking for. Higher scores mean better keyword matching, proper formatting, and alignment with the job requirements. Scores above 70% typically pass the initial ATS filter and reach human recruiters.

Why is my ATS score low?

Low scores usually indicate missing keywords from the job description, formatting issues that ATS systems can't parse, or misalignment between your resume content and the role requirements. Our optimization suggestions will highlight exactly what's missing and how to fix it.

Do ATS filters really block resumes before humans see them?

Yes. ATS systems automatically filter resumes based on keyword matching, formatting, and other criteria. Studies show that up to 75% of resumes never reach human eyes because they fail the initial ATS screening. That's why optimizing for ATS compatibility is crucial for getting your resume seen.

Features & Usage

Can I optimize my resume for multiple jobs?

Absolutely! With manual input, you enter your information once and can optimize it for as many job descriptions as you want. Just paste different job descriptions, and we'll generate tailored resumes for each role. This lets you apply to hundreds of jobs efficiently.

How many resumes can I optimize?

Free plan users get 5 AI resume audits per month. Professional plan users get unlimited optimizations. You can optimize the same resume for different job descriptions as many times as you need.

Can I download my optimized resume?

Yes! After optimization, you can download your optimized resume as a PDF. You'll also get a matching cover letter that's tailored to the job description.

Does the AI change my actual experience or add fake information?

No. We never add fake experience or change your actual work history. We optimize how you present your real experience by improving keyword usage, formatting, and phrasing to better match what the ATS and recruiters are looking for. Your experience stays authentic.

What happens to my saved information?

Your information is securely stored and encrypted. When you use manual input, your saved information (skills, experience, education, etc.) is stored in your profile so you can quickly optimize for new job descriptions without re-entering everything.

Pricing & Plans

What's included in the free plan?

The free plan includes 5 AI resume audits per month, one active job comparison at a time, access to two modern ATS-tested templates, and email support within 48 hours. Perfect for getting started and understanding where your resume stands.

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time. Your account will remain active until the end of your current billing period, and you'll retain access to all your saved resumes and optimizations.

Do you offer student discounts?

We partner with universities, bootcamps, and certified coaches. Contact us through the support email, and we'll work with you to create a plan that fits your needs and budget.

What happens if I exceed my monthly limit?

If you exceed your monthly optimization limit, you can either wait until your limit resets at the start of the next month or upgrade to a plan with higher limits. Professional plan users get unlimited optimizations.

Privacy & Security

Is my resume data secure?

Yes. All documents are encrypted at rest and in transit. We use industry-standard security practices to protect your data. You can delete your uploads and data at any time from your account settings.

Do you use my resume to train AI models?

No. We never use your content to train public AI models. Your resume data is used solely for optimization purposes and is never shared with third parties or used for training purposes.

Who can see my resumes?

Only you can see your resumes. They're stored securely in your account and are never shared publicly. You control who sees your optimized resumes - you download and share them as you choose.

Technical Support

What file formats do you support?

We support PDF uploads for resume optimization. After optimization, you can download your resume as a PDF. For manual input, you can enter all your information directly through our form.

What if my optimization fails?

If you encounter any issues during optimization, please contact our support team. We typically respond within 48 hours. Most issues can be resolved quickly, and we're here to help ensure you get the results you need.

Can I edit my optimized resume?

Yes! After optimization, you can review all the suggestions and changes. You can also go back and optimize again with different job descriptions or make manual edits to your saved information.

Do you support cover letters?

Yes! When you optimize a resume, we also generate a matching cover letter tailored to the job description. You can download both the optimized resume and cover letter together.
