Most resume feedback is too polite to be useful.
"Great structure!" "Maybe consider adding more detail here." "Looks good overall."
That kind of feedback feels nice. It doesn't help you fix anything. And if your resume isn't landing interviews, nice feedback is the last thing you need.
We built Roast My Resume because sometimes you need someone to just tell you the truth.
What It Does
Roast My Resume is an AI tool that reads your resume and gives you blunt, specific, unfiltered feedback — the kind a senior recruiter would give you in private, not the kind they'd say to your face to avoid being awkward.
It doesn't tell you your resume is "pretty good." It tells you:
- "Your bullet points describe tasks, not results. A recruiter reading this has no idea what impact you had."
- "You have six sections and nothing stands out. This resume is forgettable."
- "The summary at the top is completely generic — it could belong to any of the 200 other people applying for this job."
And then it tells you exactly how to fix each thing.
Why Brutal Feedback Is More Useful
Vague, positive feedback keeps you in a comfortable loop of small tweaks that don't change your results. Specific, honest feedback tells you which parts of your resume are actively hurting you — and gives you something to actually act on.
The goal isn't to make you feel bad. It's to give you the same information that experienced hiring managers have, so you can make the right changes before you apply.
How to Use It
- Go to Arcenly's AI Tools
- Paste your resume text (or upload a PDF)
- Read the feedback — all of it, including the uncomfortable parts
- Go back to your resume builder and fix the issues one by one
- Re-run the roast to see if you've improved
Most users find 3-5 specific things they didn't know were problems. Those fixes consistently lead to more callbacks.
It's Part of a Bigger Picture
Roast My Resume sits alongside Arcenly's other AI tools — the ATS Score Checker (which tells you if you'll pass software filters), the Interview Coach (which preps you for the real conversation), and the Resume Builder itself (which helps you construct a strong resume from the start).
The idea is simple: most job seekers are applying in the dark. They don't know why they're not getting callbacks. They optimise the wrong things.
Arcenly gives you visibility at every stage — from building the resume, to checking it against the job, to getting feedback on its weaknesses, to practising for the interview.
