The problem
Your friends said it “looks good.” That is not a hiring signal.
Kind feedback protects feelings. Roast protects your interview rate — by naming what is vague, unproven, or copy-pasted from every other resume in the pile.
- “Results-driven team player” in the summary
- Duty bullets with zero outcomes
- Skills: Microsoft Office next to Python
What Arcenly does differently
What a roast sounds like
Rough draft energy
Free shows the score. Pro unlocks the full critique — you already felt the hit.
- CRITICALNo quantified achievements — every bullet reads as a duty, not an impact.
- MAJORSummary is a cliché factory. “Results-driven team player” tells a recruiter nothing.
- MAJORSkills section is undifferentiated — no signal of what you actually ship.

Questions
Is Roast My Resume free?
You can run a roast and see your score on Free. The full critique unlocks with Pro.
Is it actually mean?
It is direct. The point is useful honesty, not insult-for-clicks — you leave with specifics to improve.
What file types work?
PDF works best for upload. You can also roast a resume already built in Arcenly.
How is this different from ATS Checker?
Roast critiques overall quality and clarity. ATS measures fit against one job description. Use both.
