What is ATS resume matching?

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) software screens resumes before recruiters see them. Resume Buddy AI compares your resume to the JD's required skills and experience, returning a 0–100 score and a gap list.

Is Resume Buddy AI free?

During early access you get 1 free full analysis per day; share with friends for 1 bonus run the same day. Includes keyword gaps, AI-optimized resume, PDF/Word export, and history in My account.

Which resume formats are supported?

PDF and DOCX. Use text-based files (not scanned images) for best parsing accuracy.

How long does analysis take?

AI analysis usually takes 30–90 seconds. Keep the tab open, then preview and download your optimized resume.

Does Resume Buddy AI generate interview questions?

Yes. After your resume–JD analysis completes, you get tailored interview questions based on the role, your experience gaps, and the job requirements—useful for behavioral and technical prep.

How is a resume analyzer different from a simple spell check?

A resume analyzer compares your resume against a specific job description: ATS match score, missing required keywords, and an optimized draft. Spell check only fixes grammar—it does not measure fit to the JD.

STAR Method Examples for Behavioral Interview Answers

STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) templates with metrics—and how to practice with JD-specific prompts.

STAR keeps behavioral answers tight: Situation sets context, Task clarifies your responsibility, Action explains what you did, Result quantifies impact. Interviewers interrupt rambling; STAR prevents it.

Resume Buddy AI generates behavioral prompts based on your resume and target JD so you practice STAR stories that match the role you applied for.

STAR method example sketch

Situation: "API errors spiked after a launch." Task: "I owned root-cause and comms." Action: "Added tracing, rolled back feature flags, paired with SRE." Result: "Restored 99.9% success in 2 hours; postmortem prevented repeat."

Swap metrics with your real outcomes; never invent numbers.
