Roast my resume
A resume roast is honest feedback with jokes. Lala, SevyDevy's AI mentor, reads your resume, picks the 3 to 5 problems that hurt it most, roasts each one, and gives a real fix for every joke. Pick mild, medium or savage, in English or Hinglish. It roasts the resume, never you.

What does a resume roast look like?
Each roast has three parts: the joke, the exact line from your resume it is about, and the fix. Here are three samples from a fresher backend resume.
- SampleMedium · English
Eleven bullets, zero numbers. Did anything get faster, bigger or cheaper? We'll never know.
From the resumeBuilt REST APIs for the order service.
FixAdd one number per bullet: users, time or %.
- SampleMedium · Hinglish
Nau bullets "Worked on" se shuru. Kis pe kaam kiya? Chala bhi?
Resume meinWorked on the login module.
FixAsli verb se shuru karo: Built, Cut, Shipped.
- SampleSavage · English
Two columns. The ATS read your skills in the middle of your internship. Your resume is a word search now.

How spicy is each heat level?
The heat changes the tone, never the truth. Here is one real problem said three ways.
| Heat | What it sounds like | Same problem at this heat |
|---|---|---|
| Mild | A kind senior looking over your resume before placements. | "Your bullets say what you did. Add what changed and they will land much harder." |
| Medium | A friend who tells you the truth, with a joke attached. | "Eleven bullets, zero numbers. Did anything get faster, bigger or cheaper? We'll never know." |
| Savage | A group chat with no filter, aimed only at the resume. | "Eleven bullets and not one number. This reads like a to-do list you finished and forgot." |
Same truth at every heat. The fix does not change: add one number per bullet, like users, time saved or %.
What does Lala never roast?
Lala roasts lines in your resume, never the person behind them. These are off limits at every heat, savage included. If a gap or a low CGPA needs handling, Lala suggests how to present it and never jokes about it.
- Your name
- Your looks or photo
- Your college
- Marks or CGPA
- Career gaps
- Your English level
- Your family
- Your health
Roast or ATS check?
Both read the same resume. They answer different questions.
| Compare | Roast | ATS check |
|---|---|---|
| Best when | You want the truth fast, and want it to stick | You have a job post and want to apply today |
| What it covers | The 3 to 5 problems that hurt most, worst first | 70 checks across format, content and job match |
| Fixes | A joke and a real fix for each problem | Every fix ranked by the points it adds |
| Job post | Not needed | Must-have skills from the post that you are missing |
| Tone | Mild, medium or savage, in English or Hinglish | Plain and direct |
| Score | No score | A score out of 100; the same resume always gets the same score |
| Price after your first full check | 20 credits (Advanced 30 credits) | 50 credits (Advanced 75 credits) |
A good order: roast first to see the big problems, then run the ATS resume checker against a real job post before you apply.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is the roast mean?
It is honest, not cruel. Lala jokes about lines in your resume, like vague bullets or a messy layout, and never about you. Mild is gentle, medium has a little sting and savage is blunt. At every level, each joke points at a real problem and ends with a fix you can make today.
Can I get it in Hinglish?
Yes. Pick Hinglish before you start and Lala roasts in the mix of Hindi and English most of us actually talk in, written in English letters. The quoted lines from your resume stay exactly as you wrote them, and every fix is just as specific as it is in English.
Does a roast fix my resume?
Not by itself. A roast picks the three to five problems that hurt your resume most and gives one clear fix for each. You make the edits. If you want the rewrite done with you, open the Resume Optimizer, then run an ATS check against a real job post to confirm the score moved.
What is the difference between a roast and an ATS check?
An ATS check is the full inspection: 70 checks, a score, missing keywords from the job post and every fix ranked by points. A roast is the short, funny version: only the few problems that matter most, said in a way you will remember. Start with a roast for motivation, then run the ATS check before applying.
Is my resume stored?
The file itself is not kept. The text read from it and your roast are saved privately to your account, so you can reopen it later. Only you can see them: there is no public link, no share button and nothing for search engines to index. Roasts are for you, not for posting. Delete any roast from Your checks.
Is the resume roast free?
Only if the roast is your first full check: every account gets one free Standard check after login. After that, each roast costs 20 credits (30 credits for Advanced), shown before you start, and refunded if it fails. The format check is free as well, needs no login and runs in your browser.
