Checks
What this CV checker reviews
- ATS structure: sections, contact details, and parse-friendly layout.
- Keyword coverage: frontend role signals for junior, mid-level, and senior Angular, React, and general FE targets.
- Readability: long bullets, dense text, and extraction quality issues.
- Impact/evidence: metrics, scope, action verbs, and ownership signals.
Methodology
How the 100-point CV score works
The score uses the same category weights as the deterministic backend rules.
Structure & Completeness20 pts
Expected sections, headings, bullet coverage, experience/project evidence, and education/summary basics.
Impact & Evidence25 pts
Metrics, scope, action verbs, outcomes, ownership signals, and concrete frontend delivery evidence.
Consistency & Hygiene15 pts
Date consistency, duplicated wording, unclear formatting, and low-confidence parsing warnings.
Keyword Coverage15 pts
Role-specific frontend keywords found in experience, missing critical terms, and skills-only matches.
Step 1
Analyze CV
Upload a PDF or DOCX and run deterministic scoring.
Level
Stack
Level adjusts scoring expectations; stack tunes frontend keyword matching.

Frontend focus
Frontend-specific signals
Target role changes keyword scoring while structure, readability, and impact checks stay mostly role-agnostic.
Angular target
Weights signals such as RxJS, NgRx, change detection, signals, Angular SSR, accessibility, and performance.
React target
Looks for React hooks, state management, TypeScript, testing, Next.js/SSR, performance, and accessibility.
General frontend target
Adjusts expectations from junior fundamentals to mid production delivery and senior architecture, CI/CD, and observability signals.
Level target
Junior, mid-level, and senior roles use different thresholds for bullets, metrics, LinkedIn, education, and scope cues.
Trust model
Deterministic checks vs AI resume rewriting
Every warning comes from explicit rules and evidence snippets, not from a generated rewrite.
The tool can suggest starter phrases, but it does not rewrite your CV or invent achievements.
Files are processed to text for the report and are not stored by the CV Linter.
PDF extraction quality can lower confidence, so parsing-sensitive warnings are marked and may be undercounted.

Quick wins
- Move Angular performance evidence from Skills into Experience bullets.
- Add measurable impact to component architecture and accessibility work.
- Replace passive ownership wording with action verbs and scope.
Keyword coverage
Found in experienceAngular, RxJS, SSR, accessibility, web vitals
Skills onlyNgRx, signals, CI/CD
Missing criticalchange detection, lazy loading ownership
Missing measurable impact
The bullet explains dashboard work but lacks adoption, latency, conversion, or scale evidence.
EvidenceBuilt reusable dashboard components for checkout analytics.
Keyword only appears in Skills
NgRx is listed as a skill, but there is no experience bullet proving production state management work.
EvidenceSkills: Angular, NgRx, RxJS, accessibility, SSR, testing.
PDF bullets may be merged
A parser-sensitive line joins two achievements, so keyword and impact scoring may be undercounted.
EvidenceOptimized LCP by 32% Implemented SSR and web vitals monitoring.
Weak action verbs
Repeated passive phrasing makes ownership harder to scan in frontend experience.
EvidenceResponsible for frontend features across the checkout application.
FAQ
CV Linter FAQ
Does this simulate a real ATS?
It runs ATS-style deterministic checks for structure, readability, parsing, keywords, and frontend evidence. It is not a proprietary ATS clone and does not guarantee recruiter ranking.
What is a good CV score?
Use 80+ as a strong target, 65-79 as workable with clear fixes, and anything below 65 as a signal to improve structure, impact evidence, or role keyword coverage before applying.
Is my CV stored?
No. Uploaded files or pasted text are processed to extract text and generate the report, then discarded by the CV Linter.
PDF or DOCX?
DOCX usually gives the cleanest text extraction. PDF is supported, but complex layouts, columns, text boxes, and scanned files can reduce parsing confidence.
Does it rewrite my resume with AI?
No. The report gives deterministic issues, evidence, and starter phrases. It does not use AI to rewrite your CV or invent content.
