That's all Sharpen.cv needs. No forms to fill in, no credit card. Hit Analyse my resume and you're done with this step.

Within seconds you'll see a score — say, 73% — that tells you how well your background matches what this specific role is asking for.

Below the score you'll see exactly which skills you already have highlighted in green, and which skills the role requires that your resume doesn't mention yet, in amber.

This part is free. No credit card, no catch.

Decide whether to apply — and get the tailored version

If the match looks good, go further. Sharpen.cv rewrites your resume to highlight the skills and experience this particular role is looking for — without making anything up.

You can review every change before you download. You stay in control of your resume. Sharpen.cv only adjusts the wording and emphasis — your experience stays exactly as it happened.

Get five interview questions ready to go

Every tailored resume comes with five interview questions generated from the specific job description — not generic advice, but the actual questions this role is likely to surface.

“Walk me through debugging a pod stuck in CrashLoopBackOff.”
“How do you design SLOs for a service handling 50 million requests a day?”

Each question is tagged with the JD requirement that triggered it, so you know exactly what the interviewer is trying to assess.

Export your tailored resume as a PDF, a Word document, or plain text — whichever the employer's application system prefers. Or have it emailed to you directly.

Then move on to the next application. Most users tailor a resume in under two minutes once they've used Sharpen.cv once.


02 /Common questions

Does it make things up?

No. It only adjusts how your existing experience is described — not what that experience is. If you haven't used Kubernetes, it won't claim you have.

Will it pass applicant tracking systems (ATS)?

That's the point. The output is a clean, single-column document with the right keywords in the right places — the format most ATS systems read without issues.

Can I edit the rewrite before I download it?

Yes. You review every change in the diff view and can edit any section in the editor before exporting. The AI proposes; you stay in control of the final document.

What can I upload?

Paste plain text, or upload a PDF or DOCX résumé — we parse it into editable sections automatically. Job descriptions can be pasted, or captured from LinkedIn in one click with the Chrome extension.
