The whole process, covered
NowRoastMyResume vs ChatGPT→
ContentThe comparison people actually ask for. Where ChatGPT wins (iteration, cover letters, everything around the resume), where we do (a blunt verdict on the same rubric every time, no prompt to write), and how to use both. Also fixed a bug that showed a stray apostrophe code on the other comparison pages.
Role pages, rewritten→
ImprovementAll 25 role pages got a pass: tips that were near copies across roles are now specific to each job, claims we couldn't back up are gone, and every page ends with next steps into Job Match, the 6-Second Replay and Level Check.
The 6-Second Replay→
New ToolWatch a simulated recruiter read your resume in six seconds. A spotlight follows the scan pattern recruiter eye-tracking studies describe (name, title, company, dates), a note at each stop says what they think, and the end shows the best lines they never reached and the one change that would fix it. Downloads as a vertical video with your name and contact details hidden. Nothing is stored.
Roast My Job Posting→
New ToolThe roast, turned around. Paste a job listing and get a 0-100 Red Flag Score, the exact lines that gave it away (quoted, never paraphrased), a corporate-to-English translation, and a five-point ghost job check. The AI never names the employer, and the posting text is never stored. Free, with a share card sized for Reddit.
The Interview Dossier→
New ToolOur biggest product yet: a $14.99 prep pack for one specific interview, built from your resume and their job description. The questions they'll likely ask — each citing the exact resume line or posting phrase that triggers it — with your answers drafted, gap defenses, an opener, and a cheat sheet. There's a complete unedited sample to read before paying anything.
Level Check→
New ToolWhat level does your resume actually read as? Screeners re-level you from your bullets, not your title. Level Check reads both — the level your title claims and the level your evidence supports — and names the exact lines responsible for the gap. Free, no signup.
The interview stage chain→
ContentNine guides covering every stage from the recruiter phone screen to resigning gracefully: the screen, the 24-hour prep, career fairs, what to bring, the second round, the thank-you and the silence after it, negotiating the offer, and the two weeks notice. Each stage links to the next.
How to spot ghost jobs→
ContentA real share of postings are never filled. The nine signals of a ghost listing and the 60-second check to run before you spend 30 minutes tailoring.
Sturdier paid delivery
ImprovementBehind-the-scenes hardening after our first real sales: payment webhooks rebuilt so a slow generation can never eat a purchase, a restore path if your resume expires before checkout, long-resume rewrites split so they can't truncate, and an automated daily QA sweep across all 146 pages.
Getting you through the interview
August 2026About and Contact pages→
FeatureWho actually runs this, the exact grading pipeline and where it falls short, where our statistics come from, and how the site makes money. Plus a contact form that reaches a real person.
Interview prep from your own resume→
FeatureGeneric question lists have never seen your resume. Every roast now surfaces the two questions a recruiter would most likely ask you, generated from your actual experience — free, no signup.
The interview guides→
ContentThe twelve questions almost everyone gets, what each one is really checking, and why interviewers trust mechanisms over claims — plus a dedicated guide to “tell me about yourself” with six full scripts.
The resume guide→
ContentEvery guide on the site organised into one ordered path: write it, check it, tailor it, send it. The best place to start if you don't know which part is broken.

Sharper, faster, more shareable
Late July 2026Resume Archetype Quiz→
New ToolEight questions, no upload, no signup. Find out which of six resume personalities you are — the Buzzword Sommelier, the Humble Ghost, the Metric Machine — and the one fix that matters most for your type. Results are shareable with their own card.
Resume statistics, packaged for citing→
ContentThe findings from thousands of AI-scored resumes, laid out as citable stats with linkable anchors and one-click citations. The median buzzword score is 22, and the biggest category of everything the detector flags is claims with no number in them.
A real type system
ImprovementThe whole site was quietly rendering in the default system font. Headlines now use Bricolage Grotesque and body text is genuinely Geist — a fix that lifts every page at once.
Redesigned roast report card→
ImprovementThe grade header went editorial: a horizontal split on a real surface, a static grade glow instead of the old pulse, and a grade-position meter. The verdict lost its gradient panel for something quieter.
Examples for the parts people rewrite most→
ContentThree new guides built around real examples rather than templates: resume summaries, LinkedIn About sections, and cover letters — each with versions for career changers, new grads, and senior candidates.
Wear your grade
FeatureEvery roast now comes with a copy-paste badge you can drop on a portfolio or personal site, showing the letter grade you earned.
14-day money-back guarantee→
