What's New in Resume Roast
1.0.1
August 19, 2026
A much bigger release than the version number suggests. Most of it uses no AI at all — it is a direct read of your file, so it is instant and it cannot make anything up. Your Candidate Record shows the row an applicant tracking system builds from your resume: name, contact, location, and a table of jobs with dates. That row is what a recruiter searches, and most people have never seen their own. When a job comes out with no dates, or the employer field holds a job title, the resume looks fine on screen and is invisible in the database. The Six-Second Test shows the other half: what a person reads. Only the top of page one, with a hard cut. Your best number is often below that line. Every Bullet, Graded counts all of them rather than the three a review has room for: how many carry a number, how many open with a duty phrase instead of a result. The ATS X-ray and keyword gap now run in the app too, and they land while the roast is still being written. Rebuilding your resume now shows a measured before and after — the same checks re-run over the rebuilt document, including the rows that did not move. And if you paste the job posting, it will write you a cover letter from what is actually in your history, leaving a bracketed blank wherever it would otherwise have to invent something.
