About ratemy.cv

Hi there! 👋

ratemy.cv is a free tool that helps job seekers optimize their resumes for specific job postings. Upload your resume, paste a job description, and get instant feedback on how well you match — plus actionable tips to improve.

Why I Built This

I've been through the job search grind. You spend hours crafting a resume, apply to dozens of jobs, and hear... nothing. It's frustrating and demoralizing.

Then I discovered that most resumes get filtered out by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) before a human ever sees them. The solution? Tailor your resume to each job description, using the right keywords.

But here's the problem: most tools that help with this charge $20-50/month. That's a lot of money when you're between jobs!

So I built ratemy.cv — a completely free tool that does the same thing. No paywalls, no "upgrade to see your results" nonsense. Just helpful feedback.

What Makes Us Different

How It Works

The tool uses AI to analyze your resume against the job description. It looks for:

• Keyword matches — Are you using the same terms as the job posting?
• Missing skills — What does the job require that you haven't mentioned?
• Section quality — Is your summary compelling? Are your achievements quantified?
• ATS compatibility — Will your resume parse correctly?

Keeping It Free

This tool is free because I believe it should be. Here's how I keep the lights on:

• Affiliate links — If you need professional help, I recommend services like TopResume. If you purchase through my links, I earn a small commission (at no cost to you).
• Buy Me a Coffee — Some generous users choose to support the project directly.

That's it. No ads, no selling your data, no surprise charges.
