Question 1

Why do I need a resume review?

Accepted Answer

Because sometimes it’s not your experience—it’s how it’s presented. Here’s the reality: Before your resume even reaches a hiring manager, it has to pass through an applicant tracking system (ATS). This is where 90% of applicants already fail. Your skills and experience could be perfect for the role, but if your resume isn’t ATS-compatible, no human will ever see it. Our experts pinpoint why your resume might be getting ignored, then show you how to fix it. From structure and compelling wording to strategic formatting and critical ATS compatibility, you’ll get practical, actionable feedback to make your strengths shine—and actually get seen. What sets our review apart? We don’t just look at design. We ensure your resume works in the modern hiring process: Passing ATS filters, capturing hiring managers attention, and positioning you as the right candidate for your target roles. With a few smart adjustments, your resume won’t just get noticed—it’ll get interviews.

Question 2

What specific feedback will I receive in my review?

Accepted Answer

You’ll get expert analysis across five critical areas that determine whether your resume gets interviews or gets ignored.

Visual Appearance: Design, font, and layout analysis to ensure your qualifications immediately grab the employer’s attention.
Organization and Length: Structure guidance to make your resume is scannable and impactful—crucial when recruiters spend just six to seven seconds per resume.
Essential Details: Complete check that all critical information—contact details, work history, education—is present and properly formatted.
Strategic Wording: Language review to help you craft compelling achievements instead of just listing job duties.
ATS Optimization: Format compatibility check plus ATS test run to beat the system that rejects 90% of applicants.

Question 3

Is the free review really free with no hidden costs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your free resume review is completely free with zero hidden costs or surprise charges. Every JobLeads member gets one expert resume review—whether you’re on our Basic or Premium membership.

Question 4

How long does the free resume review take?

Accepted Answer

Your expert resume review typically arrives within 24 hours—sometimes faster, occasionally a bit longer during busy periods. We know you’re eager to discover what’s holding your resume back. Our certified career professionals take the time needed for thorough, human-led analysis rather than rushing through automated feedback. Quality over speed—because this review could be the difference between more rejections and landing interviews.
