Yea eventually the tool eventually gets you to pay for manual review or extra features.

It's content marketing. I have no clue if the advice is any good. But that's how the game gets played, basically.

I sometimes edit resumes for pay. They are typically very good resumes -- well written, few typos, etc. They still benefit from having a second set of eyes on them.

I'm also a freelance writer and blogger. I know all too well how hard it is to edit your own writing. It's extremely hard.

People tend to see what they intended to say instead of what they actually wrote, thereby glossing over all the typos. It's very hard to catch your own mistakes.

If you are in tech, you can probably afford to cough up a few bucks to have someone review your resume. If you can't, ask a friend or go to a Reddit sub that does this for free or similar.

But get some feedback somehow. Don't just do it all yourself.
