Free resume checker for graduates in Australia
A graduate resume is judged on potential, so it has to show evidence rather than experience. Study, projects, part-time work and leadership all count when they are described by what you did and what came of it.
Check your graduate programs resume
Get a Resume Audit score and a Role Match score, your biggest fix first, and the open roles that fit you. Free, no card needed.
What the free check looks at
Resume Audit
Scores the resume itself, whatever the job. It looks at three things.
- Impact and evidence. Numbers, outcomes rather than duties, and the scale of what you handled.
- Clarity and writing. Strong action verbs, no filler, and how easily it can be scanned.
- Structure and ATS. Contact details, employer, title and dates on every role, and clean text an applicant tracking system can read.
Role Match
Compares the resume with a role and level you choose.
- Skills and tools for the role, named the way employers name them.
- Evidence of how you work. Claims such as "team player" score nothing without an example.
- Level fit and experience. Scope, progression, and how relevant and recent your work is.
You also get your biggest single fix first, then the open roles that fit your resume. You can upload a PDF or paste the text.
What a strong resume for graduates needs
- Your degree, major and expected or actual completion date at the top, with a grade only where it helps you.
- Your work rights stated plainly, such as citizen, permanent resident or visa status, because many graduate programs ask for it.
- Two or three projects, placements or assignments, each with what you did, the tools you used and the result.
- Part-time and casual work written up with outcomes, such as customers served or targets met, not just the job title.
- Leadership and teamwork evidence: clubs, volunteering, sport, student bodies, with your specific role.
- A short summary aimed at the kind of program you are applying for.
Mistakes to avoid
- Sending the same resume to every program without changing the summary or the order.
- Leaving out work rights, which many programs use to filter applications.
- Describing a group project as if you did all of it.
- Three pages of coursework in place of a few strong examples.
Many graduate programs have fixed application windows and extra steps, so check each employer's own page before you apply.

Questions
- Is it really free?
Yes. Scoring your resume is free and needs no card. Paid plans add more tools, but the check and your scores are free. - What is an ATS?
An applicant tracking system is the software many employers use to collect and sort applications. The check flags things that can make a resume harder for one to read, such as missing dates or a layout that does not read as plain text. - Will a high score get me an interview?
No score can promise that. It shows how clearly your resume presents your impact and fit, which are things you can improve. Employers decide who they interview. - What can I upload?
A PDF, or paste the text of your resume.
