Free AI CV Review — FAQ

Yes. Arrie is a free AI CV review: upload your resume (PDF, DOCX or TXT) and three AI analysts check it the way an ATS, an HR screener and a hiring manager would. In about 2 minutes you get resume scores, the key issues, a keyword gap table and concrete fixes. No account, no card and no email needed.

Usually it is not about your ability — your profile loses visibility at three gates. Gate one is the ATS: mid-to-large companies auto-filter non-standard formats or missing keywords before any human reads you. Gate two is HR's 7-second scan: vague "responsible for" bullets leave no impression. Gate three is the hiring manager: they need a clear role story they can trust in interview. Arrie diagnoses where you lose visibility at each gate.

An Applicant Tracking System parses your file, extracts fields and matches keywords against the job posting, then scores and ranks candidates. To pass: use standard section headings (Work Experience / Education / Skills), avoid tables and multi-column layouts, keep date formats consistent, and mirror the posting's own keywords wherever they are truthful for you.

Three AI analysts review your resume in parallel — an ATS specialist checks format and keywords, an interviewer hunts for the weaknesses a panel would probe, and a skills analyst maps your gaps against the target role. A chief consultant then synthesises everything into one report: six-dimension scores, a keyword gap table, before/after rewrite examples and difficulty-graded interview questions. It takes about 2 minutes. After the report, you can Refine my resume, Craft a cover letter, or Prepare my interview (full Interview Guide — needs a JD).

The diagnosis gives headline scores out of 100 — resume quality, ATS (Applicant Tracking System) compatibility and, when you paste a job description, fit for that role — plus a six-dimension breakdown: ATS, keywords, impact, readability, skills and appeal. The scores come from AI analysts reviewing structure, keywords, measurable results and role fit. Treat them as directional (they can vary slightly between runs); the list of issues and fixes is what to act on.

Everything the AI produces is free: the full diagnosis (six-dimension radar, key issues, keyword gap table, before/after rewrite examples, Mock Interview Prediction, and a branded report PNG), plus the refined CV, cover letter, and Interview Guide — downloadable as DOCX and styled PDF. No payment and no account required. The only paid option is a Human Coach Review (US$44.90). Mock Interview Prediction in the diagnosis is a short sample inside the report; Prepare my interview builds the separate full Interview Guide.

Yes. After the diagnosis, choose Refine my resume with AI. The rewrite fixes the issues the analysts found — clearer bullets, standard ATS-friendly headings, and job-description keywords where they are true for you — without inventing facts. Download it free as an editable DOCX (16 templates) or a styled PDF.

Yes. After the diagnosis, choose Craft a tailored cover letter. Arrie writes the letter from the real achievements in your CV, and targets it at the job description if you paste one. It is free: preview it on screen and download it as DOCX. It never invents experience.

Yes, free. After the diagnosis, choose Prepare my interview and paste the job description (the guide needs one). Arrie builds a full Interview Guide from your resume and the JD: role-fit analysis, likely questions graded by difficulty, STAR answer drafts based on your real experience, a short pitch and a checklist — downloadable as DOCX and styled PDF.

Mock Interview Prediction is section 4 inside the diagnosis report (a short sample of graded questions). Prepare my interview builds a separate full Interview Guide from your CV + JD: role-fit, graded questions, STAR drafts, pitch, and checklist — free to download as DOCX and styled PDF.

It is the only paid option: a one-time US$44.90 review by a real coach, by email — personalised revision guidance, coach-reviewed interview prep for your target role, and a submission-ready ATS resume finalised by your coach. It is optional; the AI diagnosis, rewrite, cover letter and Interview Guide are all free without it.

No. No account, no sign-up, no email required — open the site, upload your resume, get the report in about 2 minutes, close the page and you are done. A copy of your report stays in your own browser for convenience, and you can clear it with one click.

Never. Your resume is used only to generate your diagnosis, stored securely, and automatically deleted after 7 days. We never share it with any hiring platform or third party — where you apply is always your choice. A de-identified copy (name, phone and email removed) may be retained to improve our AI models; see the privacy note on the site.

Usually about 2 minutes. PDF, DOCX and TXT are supported, up to 10 MB. Scanned or image-based PDFs work too — the system extracts the text with visual recognition before analysing.

Yes. With a JD, your skill-match score and every recommendation are graded against that specific role, and the keyword gap table gets much sharper. Without one, the analysts infer your target role from the resume itself. Paste the JD if you can — the analysis is noticeably better.

No — that is a hard rule. The rewrite only reorganises and strengthens what is already true in your resume; it never fabricates numbers, employers, dates or certificates. Figures only you know are marked with placeholders like [ADD: metric] for you to fill in. A resume that collapses under interview questioning is worse than a modest one.

The report follows the site language you choose (English, Traditional or Simplified Chinese). Scores are AI-assessed and may vary slightly between runs on the same resume — treat them as directional, and focus on the key issues and improvement list.
