Resume Optimizer FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

It rewrites the weakest 3–5 bullets on your resume so they land harder with recruiters. Specifically: it adds numbers where you wrote vague verbs, swaps passive language for active verbs, and re-orders the bullet so the impact lands first. ApplyArc's optimizer scores each rewrite against the actual job description you're applying for, so the suggestions match the role instead of being generic 'use power verbs' advice.

No · they're different tools at different points of the funnel. The free ATS Resume Checker (at /ats-resume-checker) tells you whether your CV will pass automated keyword filters. The Resume Optimizer tells you how to rewrite the actual content once you're past the filter · bullet-by-bullet rewrites, quantified achievements, and stronger verbs. Most people run the ATS check first, then come here to fix the bullets the check flagged.

Not automatically. The AI provides specific, actionable suggestions: which bullets to rewrite, which numbers to add, which achievements to lead with. You control the final content. Think of it as a senior career coach reviewing your resume line-by-line, not a black-box rewriter that replaces your voice.

The free plan includes 5 AI generations across all 18 tools · enough to rewrite a resume against 2–3 specific jobs. Pro is £19/month for unlimited generations plus cover letters, interview prep, salary negotiation, and follow-up emails. No credit card required to start.

Any text-based resume. Paste resume text directly, or copy from a Word document or PDF. The tool focuses on content rewriting · bullets, achievements, verb strength, quantified impact · rather than visual formatting. For format/parsing checks, use the free ATS Resume Checker first.

Templates give you a visual layout but don't fix the writing. The optimizer rewrites the bullets themselves against a specific job description, so the content gets stronger · not just prettier. You can put the rewritten content into any template you already use.
