It is not you. Most resumes are filtered by software before a person ever opens them.
Hand CareerForge the resume you are sending out. It scores it against real parser rules and names every gap it finds. See your score first, decide about paying later.
What comes back: a real example
Sample resume
/100 · grade C
Good baseline; a few quick wins will push you into top 25%.
Worth doing · No LinkedIn URL detected
67% of recruiters verify LinkedIn before reaching out. Add your profile URL in the contact section.
Fix first · No measurable achievements found
ATS keyword scoring favors quantified results. Add metrics: revenue impact, team size, percentage improvements, or volume.
Nice to have · Missing professional summary
A 2-3 sentence summary section at the top gives ATS parsers immediate context for keyword matching.
Yours will name the exact problems in your resume.

No account and no card for the score. Your resume is used to run the check and is not sold.
Example resume transformation
65 → 82
Grade D to grade B, scored by the free checker's rules.
The same resume, before and after fixing what the check flags: no LinkedIn URL, no measurable achievements, weak verbs, no summary. Addressing the role-specific gaps is what moves the strength of an application.
Example JD analysis
4 missing requirements found
Run on the 82-point resume, against a real-style posting.
CareerForge compares the actual job description against the resume and surfaces the experience, skills or credentials the application never names. Even that resume misses what this posting repeats: analytics, budget, seo, stakeholders.
Example bullet rewrite
Generic → evidence-driven
The same work, described by the same sample resume.
CareerForge turns a vague bullet into a specific, quantified one when the underlying resume evidence supports it. The verb and the number both come from the resume itself.
Every figure above is CareerForge's own output, run on sample resume and job-posting texts.
Paste the exact job description so CareerForge can read what the ATS and the hiring team are asking for.
Generate resume bullets and a cover letter that match the role, without inventing experience.
Save the application to your tracker, then practice the interview questions it generates.
CareerForge turns the posting itself into tailored resumes, cover letters, and interview practice that matches the role.
For each posting you add, CareerForge matches your resume against the job description and rewrites the weak bullets. It never invents experience.
Drafted from your actual resume and the specific posting, in your tone, ready to export as a PDF.
Interview questions generated from the job description, with your answers scored against the STAR framework.
