Our technology analyzes your resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letters, and other career assets to enhance their impact, improve keyword optimization for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), and ensure they align with industry best practices.

The ideal resume length depends on your experience level:
Regardless of length, prioritize relevance. Our optimization tool includes a conciseness analyzer that identifies redundant content and suggests cuts. For most professionals, we recommend a 2-page maximum. Remember that recruiters spend only 6-10 seconds on initial resume screening - every line should demonstrate value.
Your skills section should balance technical abilities, soft skills, and industry-specific competencies. We recommend:

| Active (30-90 days) | 1-2 | High-quality customized applications |
