Revamaze offers powerful AI tools to help you create more effective, targeted resumes that stand out to both human recruiters and automated applicant tracking systems (ATS). This guide explains how to make the most of these features during your resume creation process.
AI-Powered Resume Tailoring
Our most powerful AI feature helps customize your resume for specific job opportunities.
Accessing the AI Tailoring Tool
During step 2 of the resume creation process, you'll be presented with the AI tailoring screen.
Here you can:
Enter a job title
Paste a full job description
Provide a URL to a job posting
For best results, we recommend using the full job description option, as this gives our AI the most information to work with.
When entering a job URL, ensure it's a direct link to the specific job posting rather than a general careers page.
How the AI Analysis Works
After submitting your information, our AI:
Analyzes the job requirements and key skills
Identifies important keywords for ATS optimization
Determines the most relevant experience points to highlight
Generates tailored content suggestions for your resume
This process typically takes 15–30 seconds depending on the complexity of the job description.
Reviewing and Selecting AI Suggestions
Once analysis is complete, you'll see suggested content in several categories:
Skills Recommendations
The AI will present a list of hard and soft skills relevant to the position:
Technical skills specific to the role
Industry knowledge requirements
Soft skills valued for the position
Tools and technologies mentioned in the job posting
You can:
Select which skills to include in your resume
Add your own skills not identified by the AI
Rearrange the order of skills based on importance
Experience Bullet Points
For each work experience entry, the AI suggests bullet points that:
Use strong action verbs
Highlight achievements relevant to the target position
Include metrics and quantifiable results where possible
Incorporate key terminology from the job description
Always review AI suggestions for accuracy. While our AI is advanced, you know your experience best. Edit or replace suggestions as needed to ensure they truthfully represent your background.
AI Resume Enhancement Tools
Beyond the initial tailoring, several AI features can help improve your resume throughout the creation process.
Action Verb Suggestions
When editing experience bullet points, our AI can suggest powerful alternatives to common verbs:
Click the "Enhance" button next to any bullet point
Select "Improve Action Verbs"
Choose from suggested alternatives that make your accomplishments sound more impactful
For example, changing "responsible for managing team" to "orchestrated team operations" or "directed cross-functional team performance."
Achievement Quantifier
Our AI can help you add specific metrics to your achievements:
Select a bullet point that describes an accomplishment
Click "Quantify Achievement"
Follow the prompts to add relevant numbers and percentages
The AI will help restructure statements like "improved sales" into "increased quarterly sales by 27% over previous year."
ATS Optimization Check
Before finalizing your resume:
Click the "ATS Check" button in the review panel
Our AI will scan your resume for ATS compatibility
Receive suggestions for:
Missing keywords from the job description
Formatting issues that might confuse ATS systems
Section headers that should be standardized
Overall content optimization for screening algorithms
Language Refinement
Our AI can help polish your writing:
Select any text section and click "Refine Language"
Choose from options like:
Make more concise
Improve clarity
Enhance professionalism
Fix grammar/spelling
Best Practices for Using AI Features
Do:
Use AI as a starting point, then personalize content
Verify all facts and figures suggested by the AI
Blend AI suggestions with your authentic voice
Run multiple AI analyses for different target positions
Save different versions tailored to specific job types
Don't:
Accept all AI suggestions without review
Include skills you don't actually possess
Rely exclusively on AI content without personalization
Use generic job titles when more specific ones are available
Overload your resume with keywords at the expense of readability
