Resume Score — a transparent, explained score out of 100

Most resume scores are a number looking for a reason. This one works the other way round: each category is computed from specific, visible facts about your resume, and every point comes with the sentence that earned it.

The six categories

• Content (25) — presence of a summary, number of roles, achievement bullets, and how many contain real numbers
• ATS readability (20) — the share of machine-readability checks your current draft passes
• Job relevance (20) — keyword overlap with the job description you paste in; hidden until you provide one
• Structure (15) — sections present, in a sensible order, with consistent dates
• Clarity (10) — bullet length and summary length against what people actually read
• Completeness (10) — name, email, phone, title and a usable skills list

Why job relevance is optional

Relevance to a job only means something against a specific job. Without a job description the category is simply not evaluated, and the total is recalculated across the remaining categories rather than scored zero.

A score is a diagnosis, not a verdict. It tells you where to spend the next twenty minutes — nothing more.
