A resume update service for people whose resume is years behind
Update my resume: the promotion, the new systems, and the numbers you never wrote down.
A posting just appeared. Or there's talk of layoffs. And your resume still ends where your old job did.
An update isn't a fresh start. It's finding everything the last few years added that you never wrote down: the promotion that changed your scope, the systems you learned on the job, the certifications you renewed, the numbers you now own. We work backwards through your recent roles, show you each one, and you confirm what's yours. Nothing made up.
A resume build is $29, paid once. It never auto-renews, and there is nothing to cancel.
- We make nothing up.
- We ask. You decide.
- You pay once.
A resume that has been sitting for a few years usually has the same three gaps: the title is out of date, the new tools are missing, and the job has grown but the words have not.
You were promoted since. The resume still shows the job you had when you last opened the file.
Your company rolled out new software, new equipment, new procedures. You learned all of it. None of it is listed.
You run more people, more money, or more sites than you did. The old line still reads like the old job.
What an update usually misses
Four things that happened to you that your resume doesn't know about.
The promotion that changed your scope
A new title is the easy part. The hard part is showing that the job got bigger: more people, more budget, more decisions that stop with you. We ask what changed when you moved up, and you tell us in plain words. If you want the format rules first, our guide on how to list promotions on a resume is free.
Systems you learned on the job
The software your company switched to. The scheduling, ticketing, inventory, or records system you use every day now. Employers often search for these by name, and they're rarely on a resume that's been sitting a few years. We show you the ones work like yours usually involves; you confirm the ones that are really yours.
Certifications you renewed or added
The card you renewed last year. The course your employer sent you to. The license you picked up for the new role. Each one is a line employers can check, so each one earns a spot, with the right name and the right date. Our guide on how to list certifications on a resume covers the format.
The numbers you're responsible for now
How many people, how many sites, how much budget, how many orders a day. You know these numbers because you live them. We ask for them; we never guess them. A number lands on the page only when it came from you.
What an update looks like
Same job. Same person. Four years later, finally on paper.
This is a sample worker, not a real person. Every number here is one we would ask you for. If you do not confirm it, the line does not go in.
Before — the resume as it's been sitting
"Maintenance Technician, 2020 to present. Repair equipment and perform preventive maintenance."
After — built only from what the person gave us or confirmed
"Maintenance Supervisor, promoted 2024; Maintenance Technician, 2020 to 2024. Lead a crew of 6 technicians across 2 shifts and own the preventive maintenance schedule for 55 machines. Moved work orders from paper to a computerized maintenance system (Fiix); 96% of preventive maintenance completed on time last year. OSHA 30-Hour General Industry card, renewed 2025; forklift certified."
Nothing in the After was added that wasn't already true. The promotion, the system, the crew, the card: all of it happened. It just never got written down. That's what an update does, line by line, with your say-so on each one.
Pricing

AR Pass
$99up to 10 targeted builds in 90 days
Any builds you don't use end when the 90 days end. If you use all 10 while your pass is active, you can add 10 more for $49.
If a posting just appeared and you want to aim at it, the AR Pass does everything the single build does, aimed at each specific job you choose.
- We translate your experience into the language that job posting uses.
- We show you, side by side, what the posting asks for, what your resume covers, and what it does not.
- We put together 25 interview questions for that exact role, each tied to a line in the posting or a line on your resume.
If you joined our list, create your account with that same email and your first purchase is 25% off at checkout within 30 days of joining. If a line is wrong, you edit it or leave a note and we redo it from your note. You pay once, with no revision rounds to argue over. Paid someone to update it and got a template back?

If we genuinely find nothing to add to your resume, we rework it with you. The plain-language details are in our Terms.
Common questions
Is a resume update the same as starting over?
No. Your resume already holds the older jobs, and those are usually fine. An update is about the years since you last touched it: the promotion, the new systems, the certifications, the bigger scope. We work backwards through your roles, newest first, show you each thing we find, and you confirm or skip it.
It's been years and I honestly don't remember everything I did. Does that matter?
That's the normal case, and it's why we don't hand you a blank box. We show you specific things work like yours usually involves, one at a time: a tool, a standard, a credential, a responsibility. You'll recognize the ones that are really yours when you see them. Anything you don't recognize, you skip, and it never touches the page.
How long does an update take?
Most of the time is you reading findings and confirming lines, and you can do that in one sitting. There's no writer to wait on and no revision rounds to schedule. If a line comes out wrong, you edit it or leave a note and we redo that line from your note, right then.
Why a single build instead of the AR Pass?
A Single Resume Build ($29) brings your resume fully up to date: everything the last few years added, confirmed by you, in a file that reads cleanly to screening software, and you can use it any time within 12 months of buying it. The AR Pass ($99) aims each build at one specific posting: your confirmed experience translated into that posting's language, plus 25 interview questions for that role. If a posting just appeared and you want to aim at it, choose the AR Pass. If you just need to be current, a single build is enough.
Can I buy from any state?
Almost. Right now we can't sell our paid resume service to residents of New Jersey or Illinois. Those two states have laws written for job-placement agencies that can also reach paid resume help, and we're staying on the safe side until that's settled. The free format check and the demo work everywhere in the United States, and if you're in one of those states we'll tell you the day this changes.
Let's find what the last few years added.
Upload the resume you have for a free check, with no sign-up. When you're ready, create an account and choose your build, and we'll work backwards through your roles together, newest first. Nothing goes on your resume that you didn't give us or confirm.
