Resume Roaster
Resume Roaster is an AI-powered resume review and critique tool giving job seekers brutal honesty, ATS scoring, and high-impact improvement recommendations. Users upload their resume as a PDF or text file, select their roast intensity level, and receive instant actionable insights.
What it is
Most resume review tools are overly polite and generic. Resume Roaster blends humor with industry-standard resume auditing. It scores documents based on ATS readability, quantifiable metric usage, weak action verbs, and bullet point impact, providing both funny roast commentary and serious constructive rewrite suggestions.
How it is built
Built with a responsive Vanilla JS and Glassmorphism design system on the frontend, powered by a Node.js and Express backend. It utilizes pdf-parse for extracting document text and integrates a multi-provider fallback engine spanning Google Gemini Flash, OpenAI GPT-4o, and Claude with automated rate limiting and heuristic fallback guards.
// Multi-Provider LLM Orchestration
async function generateRoast(resumeText, intensity) {
const prompt = buildRoastPrompt(resumeText, intensity);
try {
return await callGeminiAPI(prompt);
} catch (err) {
console.warn("Primary provider failed, falling back to secondary...");
return await callOpenAIBackup(prompt);
}
