Resume Review
An automated review of your resume against what technical recruiters screen for, returning specific changes rather than a score. Useful as a first pass before you ask a human to look at it.

What it does
Takes your resume and returns structured feedback on the things that decide whether it survives an initial screen: whether achievements are quantified, whether the technical content is legible to a non specialist, formatting problems, and gaps a recruiter will ask about.
Where automated review helps
The first pass. There is a set of common, mechanical problems that appear on most engineering resumes, such as responsibilities listed instead of outcomes, a skills section three lines too long, and no number anywhere on the page. Fixing those does not need a human, and doing so before you ask one means their attention goes on the parts that do.
Where it stops
It cannot tell you whether your positioning is right for the role you want, or which of your two projects to lead with. That judgement still needs someone who knows the market you are aiming at.
Best for: a first cleanup before a job search, and a quick check before a specific application.
