roastmy.cv

Getting a real critique of a CV before sending it out is harder than it sounds: most tools bury feedback behind registration walls, and generic scoring engines tell you your ‘keyword density’ without showing you whether the file even parses correctly. roastmy.cv addresses that with two focused modes — Comedy (Mode 01) and Precision (Mode 02) — accessible from the homepage without any account creation. Mode 01 runs an AI critique of the CV’s writing and structure and returns specific fixes framed as a career-coach-style teardown with a sharp editorial voice. Mode 02 tests ATS parseability and, if you paste a job posting alongside your CV, scores keyword alignment between the two.

The standout constraint — stated explicitly by the vendor — is that CVs are never stored. The file or pasted text is parsed in memory for one request and discarded immediately after. The only data that persists is the roast output text itself, kept for 30 days so its share link remains accessible. Nothing is used for model training. That architecture makes this genuinely safe for job seekers wary of uploading sensitive career documents to an unknown service.

Accepted formats are PDF, DOCX, or plain text paste — which covers the dominant formats job seekers actually have. Where the tool breaks down is at the edges of casual solo use: the daily per-visitor limit means anyone trying to iterate quickly through multiple CV versions in a single session will stall. There is no API, no self-hosting path, and no mechanism to track feedback across sessions. Career coaches or HR teams wanting to run structured feedback across a candidate pool need a different tool entirely — one with batch capability and persistent session tracking, neither of which the vendor describes here.
