# What the resume optimizer does

> A chat-based editor that tailors your resume to one specific job

The resume optimizer takes your resume and one specific job you've already matched against, and works through it with you line by line to close the real gaps between them, then hands you back a cleanly formatted, ATS-friendly resume and a genuinely recomputed score.

    It never invents employers, titles, dates, or metrics. If a stronger claim would need a fact it can't verify from your resume, it asks you instead of guessing.

  <Card title="Tailored to one job" icon="crosshairs">
    Every suggestion is made against the specific job description you're optimizing for, not generic resume advice.

  <Card title="A real re-score, not a promise" icon="chart-line">
    Once you're satisfied, it re-runs the same scoring pipeline used everywhere else in Matchr. The new score is whatever it actually computes, not guaranteed to be higher.

## Where to find it

Open any job you've scored 75% and above or otherwise want to strengthen, and click **Optimize My Resume** above your history in the side panel's result view. It opens as a popup over your [dashboard](https://matchr.in) rather than a new page.

<Note>
  Finalizing an optimized resume uses **5 credits**. Nothing is charged until you finalize, working through suggestions and re-checking your score is free.
