Question 1

Is the AI resume checker really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Create a free account — no credit card required — and you get 2 free resume analyses, plus 2 free uses of each of PokeBot's other services (Career Planning, Opportunity Map, and Mock Interview). Paid plans start at $10/month if you want higher limits.

Question 2

What does the resume score actually measure?

Accepted Answer

You get a 0–100 overall score against your target role's hiring bar, broken down by category — content quality, structure & format, writing quality, and relevance to the role — plus section-by-section feedback on your experience, education, and skills, each with specific fixes.

Question 3

Is this an ATS resume checker?

Accepted Answer

It covers what ATS-era screening actually decides on — clean structure that software can parse, keyword and skills alignment with your target role, and whether your bullets read as achievements rather than duties. Unlike a pure ATS simulator, it also scores content quality, because passing the parse is necessary but not sufficient.

Question 4

How is this different from pasting my resume into ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

Three things: the score is calibrated to a specific target role's hiring bar rather than generic advice; the rubric is fixed, so the same resume gets the same score and a change in score means your resume changed; and your results are saved, so you can fix what's flagged, re-score, and track the trend over time.

Question 5

Do I need an account to try it?

Accepted Answer

Guest mode lets you trial the resume analysis without signing up. Creating a free account (2 free uses, no credit card) saves your score, unlocks re-scoring after you make fixes, and connects the result to the rest of your prep — mock interviews and progress tracking.

Question 6

What roles can I score my resume against?

Accepted Answer

Any target role you specify. PokeBot has dedicated tracks for quant, AI/ML engineering, software engineering, data science, product management, and finance, and the analysis calibrates to the role you pick.

Question 7

What should I aim for, and what do I do after I get my score?

Accepted Answer

Fix the specific flags in the report, then re-score. Inside PokeBot's readiness journey, a resume score of 75 or higher is one of the milestones on the way to being introduction-ready — once your resume clears the bar, the next step is practicing the interview itself.
