Yes. The free plan includes up to 10 resume bases and 10 runs per rolling 30 days (resumes, cover letters, and interview prep share that pool). Upgrade to Pro for unlimited runs and the ATS match scorecard.

How does tailoring keep my resume truthful?

ResumeSkip never invents experience, skills, dates, or titles. It only reorders, rephrases, and emphasizes content already in your resume, and only mirrors a posting's keywords where you genuinely have that experience. Review every document before you send it.

What makes a resume ATS-friendly?

Applicant tracking systems parse best from single-column plain text with standard headings like SUMMARY, SKILLS, and EXPERIENCE, and from resumes that use the posting's real keywords. That's the format ResumeSkip outputs.

Can I use my LinkedIn profile instead of a PDF?

Yes. Copy the text from your LinkedIn profile and paste it in. ResumeSkip does not connect to LinkedIn or ask you to log in there.

Is my resume shared or used to train anything?

No. Your resume stays in your private workspace unless you create a share link. We do not use your resume content to train our own models.

Which resume formats can I upload?

PDF, DOCX, RTF, and plain text. Files are parsed locally on your device. Legacy .doc files need to be re-saved as .docx first.

ATS Resume for Software Engineers: Skills, Projects, and Honest Keywords

What belongs on a software engineer resume that ATS systems and hiring managers both read — stack, impact, and projects without keyword stuffing.

Engineering resumes fail ATS screens for two opposite reasons: a beautiful multi-column PDF that parses as garbage, or a wall of buzzwords that no interview can support. The version that works is boring in structure and specific in content.

Lead with the stack you actually used

Put languages, frameworks, and cloud tools in a plain SKILLS list and again inside bullets where you used them ('cut p95 latency 40% on a Go service in GKE'). A skill that appears only in a sidebar icon is easy for a parser to drop.

Projects vs. jobs

If you have professional experience, projects belong after it and should prove a gap the jobs do not (open source, a shipped side product, a scale problem). If you are early-career, PROJECTS can sit above EXPERIENCE — still with dates, a stack, and a result, not a GitHub dump.

Tailor per posting

A backend role that repeats 'PostgreSQL, Kafka, on-call' should not get the same top bullets as a frontend role that repeats 'TypeScript, accessibility, design system.' Reorder and rephrase from one base. ResumeSkip is built for that loop.
