How to run your first fit check in ResumeAIScore
A step-by-step guide: save your resume, paste a job posting, read the score and section report, then decide what to change before you apply.

ResumeAIScore is built for one job at a time: compare the resume you already use to the posting you're about to apply for. This guide walks through your first check end to end.
1. Create an account and open Check fit
Sign up, then go to Check fit (or Start free from the homepage). You'll move through resume → job → results.
2. Save the resume you'll actually send
Upload a PDF or paste text. Use the version you'd attach to the application — not a rough draft. ResumeAIScore stores it so you can reuse it for the next posting without uploading again.
3. Paste the full job description
Copy the real posting (responsibilities, requirements, nice-to-haves). Short blurbs miss must-haves and skew the report. Continue when the text looks complete.
4. Read the results in order
Start with the fit score and summary, then the section scorecard (Summary, Experience, Skills, Education — weakest first). Scan requirement coverage and knockout risks next. Copy top fixes into your real PDF. Download the diagnostic PDF if you want a shareable or offline copy.
Open ResumeAIScore
Run a fit check on the job you're applying to — score, section report, and copyable fixes.

Edit your designed resume offline with the suggested wording. When you're ready to measure progress, run a new fit check (uses one check from your quota). For a different posting, use Check another job with the same saved resume.
