What AI Resume tool for ATS tailoring can remove AND add skills
Hi all, I'm currently using KickResume to get around ATS (I'm in tech, software engineering). I want an AI tool that would be used to tailor resumes to the job listing. That said, I'm not happy with the tool. Not only is it too slow, taking around 5 minutes a resume, it also doesn't remove content, it just adds it, resulting in my resume getting pushed to 2 pages, and being full of skills irrelevant to the listing. Can anyone recommend something better?
r/Resume • u/shaykhsaahb • 5h ago
Do recruiters still use traditional ATSs or do they use AI based systems now? And shouldn’t AI be better at analysing resumes than traditional ATS? Meaning wouldn’t keyword stuffing in resumes be irrelevant now?
Interested in thoughts and insights

[0 YoE, Mechanical Engineering Lab Assistant, Operations/Mechanical Engineer, Northeastern US]
Hey everyone. I'm currently a senior at my university and will be graduating next semester. I have been applying to some defense positions with a previous resume but haven't had much success so far. I created this version today using the proper template and would love some feedback from everyone.
Ideally I would like to land a role in defense/aerospace as an operations engineer but would be ok to work in a different industry or different role. I would also like to re-locate to the northeast of the US if anyone has any advice for some open opportunities. Thank you all!

Critique my resume.
galleryI’ve gotten a lot of inquiries , but nothing is landing.
Please review my resume . Offer any critiques , flags , or ways to improve it for more views. Even if there are certifications that might align , let me know . Or career paths that I should consider (I do not have my PMP cert, but skills that closely align . Not in the position financially to go for the PMP just yet)
I’ve run this through all the systems , and used all the prompts , and while it’s helped , i think it’s always good to get other opinions.
Thank you!
Resume Length
Hey all,
I wanna update my resume and start applying for jobs because my current company is getting me nowhere (and they’re doing shady stuff).
I’m having trouble with the page length and what to put on there. I graduated from college in December 2020. From January 2021-April 2023, I have 2 roles at solid companies. From April 2023-March 2024 though, my young and dumb self decided to take a break from corporate and do filmmaking. I started a 12-month contract job in March 2024 but got fired in August 2024 for “performance issues” (total bullshit but not gonna dive into this here). From August 2024-October 2024, I was unemployed and just doing a bunch of courses. From October 2024-July 2025, I worked as a procurement associate for my dad’s friend’s company but he laid me off because Trump’s tariffs started hurting his business. I was unemployed until Feb 2026 where I got a role as a procurement specialist at a renewable energy company. Still at this role today.
I don’t know how to format my resume with this hectic employment history. I know I don’t have to list everything on there and I can take some out to keep it to a page, but the problem is there would be a considerable gap in the timeline.
If anyone has any advice on how I should format it, I would greatly appreciate it!

[2026 Graduate, 0 YOE, SDE / ML Engineer, India] Looking for Honest Resume Feedback
Hey everyone,
I graduated in Computer Engineering this year and have been applying for entry-level SDE and ML roles.
I've worked on a mix of software development, machine learning, and research projects. I also co-founded GOCO, where we're building a programming language and IDE. One of my recent projects is a credit risk prediction system using ML, and I also have a research publication in the accessibility space.
I've attached my resume and would love some honest feedback.
- Does my resume stand out for a fresher, or does it look pretty average?
- Are my projects strong enough to get shortlisted for SDE or ML roles?
- Are my bullet points clearly communicating what I built and the impact it had?
- What are the biggest weaknesses you'd fix if this were your resume?
Feel free to be blunt. I'd rather know what needs improvement than get generic feedback.
Thanks!

Computer Science and Engineering Resume Review

Hello, I was wondering if anyone would be open to taking a look at my resume and giving me some feedback on what I can improve on. I am applying to lots of Hardware and Software internships which ask for experience in Linux, FPGAs, C++, Python, etc. but I'm having a hard time getting any call backs let alone interviews. Another question I have is if I have some light hardware projects from courses I am taking now and courses I've taken previously, should I start adding them into my resume and take out the Data Science Academy role? Thank you so much for the help in advance!

To the therapists here: How do you explain being an LMHC without making it sound like you’re dunking on LCSWs?
I keep seeing license discussions online turn into this weird thing where counselors get described as the “therapy people” and social workers as the “case management people”. I don’t think most people mean it that way, but it comes off pretty condescending.
I’m an LMHC, and I’d rather explain what I actually do than compare my training to someone else’s. I work with adults dealing with anxiety and trauma in outpatient settings, do assessments and treatment plans, and coordinate with other providers. That seems like a much better description than a bunch of letters followed by “evidence-based care”.
I’ve been trying to fix how I describe my work on my resume too. I ran it through resume worded because my summary sounded so generic, then rewrote it to focus on my actual clients, responsibilities, and clinical experience. It was a lot easier to explain my background once I stopped trying to make it sound impressive.
I still struggle with how to describe my scope without accidentally implying other licenses are somehow less clinical. We all have different training and state rules, but there’s a lot of overlap in what we do.
I’m curious how other therapists handle this, especially LCSWs. I’d hate for someone to read my bio and think I’m taking a shot at their profession when that’s not what I mean at all.

Stuck In Hotels - Branching Out
I have a majority of my career in hospitality/hotels and am trying to branch out of on-property hotel roles and into more administrative side positions. I've applied for 100+ jobs and only had a total of two interviews that I made it to the final round but was inevitably not selected. Any recommendations on formatting, bullet points, etc.?

Wording for Resume
I am trying to add my current work to my resume. I will put what I have so far below, but I am stumped. I work remotely for a cafeteria for about 4-6 hours a month. All I do is input items from the menu into two programs. I don't have a supervisor or team. There isn't any quantifiable thing that I improve. I just want this to look good in a couple bullet points as it is the only thing I have to fill in since my other previous job. I am pretty much just trying to get another retail job which is the majority of my other work experience.
What I have for my resume currently (ignore spacing):
School ISD Menu Planning; Remote
Planner August 2025-Current
- Proficient in Back of House and Mosaic programs

I’m so lost on what jobs i should put on resume, i feel I need someone to like maybe go over my resume..
So i don’t have the greatest work history, i have been let go from a few places in the past like 2 years due to mental health. I desperately need a job. It’s been over a year. I feel crippled. I have been called about jobs around in my area but ehh.. i just stop responding and don’t put in the effort to do it. But anyways. I don’t know if I should put like all my jobs in the past couple years.. some are short, some are long ish. Should I not put irrelevant jobs on my resume despite the gap? I have been told on fb from random posts about wfh group that the creator don’t even put jobs on resume if it’s not relevant to the job despite the gaps. The resume is a sales pitch doc. Not your whole life resume. I don’t get it. I want a remote job. Teleperformance or something to start me out at the bottom.

Resume Review - Higher Education Sponsored Awards Management
galleryI want to transition back into the public sector, particularly higher education. I'm unsure if my resume is conveying too much or if I need to position something differently to get more hits.
Any advice would be great! I'm in the mid-career shift, I'm burnt out, unappreciated, and under valued at my current job, and need a change for the new year.
*Edit because my grammar was terrible.
