How to Use Resumia.ai

Resumia.ai is designed to be simple and intuitive. Follow this step-by-step guide to optimize your resume for any job application.

1

Upload Your Resume

Click "Start Optimizing" from the homepage or go to your dashboard. Upload your resume in PDF, DOCX, or TXT format.

Pro Tip: Use a text-selectable PDF (not a scanned image). Our AI parser works best with standard, single-column layouts. Avoid complex multi-column designs that can confuse ATS systems.

Supported formats: PDF, DOCX, TXT (max 5MB)

2

Paste the Job Description

Copy the full text of the job posting you're applying to. Include:

  • Job title and company name
  • Requirements and qualifications
  • Responsibilities and duties
  • Preferred skills and experience
Note: You can omit the company "About Us" section if you want, but our AI is smart enough to focus on relevant requirements.
3

Review the Analysis

Our AI analyzes your resume against the job description using two key metrics:

  • M
    Match Score (0-100)

    Measures how well your skills, experience, and qualifications align with the job requirements. Higher scores indicate better fit.

  • A
    ATS Score (0-100)

    Evaluates how easily Applicant Tracking Systems can parse and understand your resume. Checks formatting, keywords, and structure.

What's a good score? Aim for 70+ on both metrics. Scores above 85 are excellent and significantly increase your chances of passing ATS screening.

Answer Clarification Questions

If the AI detects a potential gap between your resume and the job requirements, it will ask clarifying questions:

Example:

"The job description mentions AWS experience. Do you have experience with AWS or other cloud platforms?"

Be honest! Our AI is designed to optimize your existing experience, not fabricate skills you don't have. Truthful answers ensure your optimized resume remains authentic and accurate.

5

Get Your Optimized Resume

The AI generates an optimized version of your resume that:

  • Matches keywords from the job description
  • Improves formatting for ATS compatibility
  • Highlights relevant experience for the role
  • Reorganizes content to emphasize your strengths
  • Quantifies achievements where possible

Review the optimized version carefully. The AI provides suggestions, but you have final control over your resume content.

6

Download and Apply

Download your optimized resume as a PDF. The format is clean, ATS-friendly, and ready to submit with your job application.

Best Practice: Keep both your original and optimized versions. You can further customize the optimized resume in your preferred word processor before submitting.
