FAQ

Questions about the Resume Score Checker

How is the resume health score calculated?

It starts at 100 and takes points off when fewer than 60 percent of bullets start with a strong verb, fewer than 50 percent contain a number, for each cliche, for openers used 3 or more times and for bullets averaging over 28 words.

What is a good resume score?

75 or above shows as good and 55 to 74 as needing work. Use it to compare drafts of your own resume, not as a hiring prediction.

How long should each resume bullet be?

The tool flags an average above 28 words per bullet. Shorter, single-idea bullets are easier to scan.

Is the Resume Score Checker free and private?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs entirely in your browser, so what you type is not uploaded. You only sign in if you want to email a result to yourself or save it to your CareerByteCode profile.
