Your resume has problems
you stopped noticing.
Line-by-line feedback for software engineers. Not a rewrite. Not a score. Just the bullets you can't actually defend. Flagged, until you fix them or cut them.
Not sure where to start? Build puts you on Jake's template. Lint audits what you already have.
This tool will not rewrite your resume. That’s the point.

MAJOR“Improved system performance significantly and led major initiatives.”
WHAT’S WRONG
- • “Significantly” is unbounded (no constraint or baseline).
- • “Led initiatives” doesn’t say ownership or deliverable.
- • No artifact: feature shipped, tool built, or metric moved.
DO THIS NEXT
- State what you built (action + object).
- Add method/tooling (how you did it).
- Give outcome (latency/cost/bugs/time/users).
No score. Just severity + reasons + concrete next actions.
Jake's Resume template. The one that actually gets read. Pick your sections, drop in your content, save bullets and skills to your vault so you're not copy-pasting between versions.
No summaries. No scoring. Every line stands on its own.
Vague scope, missing decisions, unclear ownership, empty buzzwords.
“What scale?” “What broke?” If you can’t answer then delete the line.
The tool never invents impact for you.

Rejectless was an extremely helpful tool for me. It guided me through the most important steps in optimizing my resume and implementing the advice I got online. It was specifically helpful in advising me on how to add concrete metrics that will help me attract the attention of hiring managers. I was really struggling to think of metrics to add and how to describe them and Rejectless basically did all the heavy lifting for me. I was able to use the restructured bullets as templates to build out several resumes and I feel like they are much stronger thanks to Rejectless!
I tried the tool and found it genuinely useful. The feedback was direct and, at times, quite tough, but that’s exactly what made it valuable. It highlighted vague areas in my Principal Programmer resume that I hadn’t noticed before and helped me clarify them. I ended up identifying around 10 concrete issues to improve, which made the resume much stronger overall.
I had a CV that’d landed me interviews and jobs before, but this time around I hit a streak of rejections and ghosting. A friend suggested Rejectless, I cleaned up my CV a lot, and now I’ve got three interviews lined up in the next week and a half. So yeah, probably a mix of me and the CV, but I’ll take the win. GG!
This is super helpful! Thank you for letting me try it. Usually we neglect some low quality bullets and keep it anyways then eventually they hit you back in interviews, this tool has helped me refine those points by asking the right questions and definitely not another AI slop. PS Review is harsh and also there's no magic rewrite so prepare to put some time into it.
This is a brutal review tool, I don't think most of the people will expect the feedback it gives, it harsh but worth it if you are looking to make a solid resume
As a Technology Management Consultant, I’m used to critical reviews, but this tool was on another level in a good way. The feedback was blunt and highly specific, especially around impact, clarity, and weak assumptions I hadn’t questioned in years. It forced me to rethink how I frame leadership and outcomes, not just responsibilities. Definitely not a feel-good review, but absolutely worth it if you want a serious, high-quality resume

I just tried it. I really like the idea of providing feedback and suggested changes. The feedback seems pretty sensible as well. I think adding an optional rewrite option to show an example of what each line should look like would be nice. I'll update my resume based on these suggested feedback to see if I can get better results. Thank you.
r/csgraduatesI am just rewriting my resume , cause I feel like the whole thing is a mess . And then I am gonna put it in again. I’ll get back to u after that man. Just for impressions. I think it gives out practical feedback very different from AI and that already is very useful.

Nice work on this tool and actually helpful to me. It caught a few things I wouldn’t have questioned otherwise and made me rethink how I frame impact.
Every bullet is a claim. Most don't survive scrutiny.
Engineers skim. Recruiters skim faster. Your bullets must earn attention in seconds.
Each resume bullet is reviewed independently. If it can’t stand on its own, it gets flagged, or removed.
Weak bullets hurt more than missing ones. Rejectless will explicitly tell you to delete content.
Because rewritten vagueness is still vagueness. The tool never invents impact for you.
If you can’t defend a bullet, it shouldn’t be there.
Object based resume builder that lets you create multiple resumes in seconds
The builder puts you on Jake’s template with a live preview. You don't have to struggle with Latex anymore with our pixel perfect pdf rendering.
The vault stores your bullets, summaries, and skills by domain. When a Backend role needs different framing than an ML role, you pull from a library. Not from memory.
When you’re done, send it straight to the linter. Find out which lines don’t survive.
Try it now. Pricing comes later.
We don't want to talk about price before you actually try the tool
This tool is opinionated. Try it on a real resume before deciding if it’s for you.
