New – Need A Resume Reviewed?

Cincinnati State’s Big Interview.  

Our Big Interview system offers Resume AI which leverages the newest artificial intellegence technology to transform your resume from generic to job-winning.  Instantly.

This tool gives you immediate feedback on your resume writing and immediate coaching on improving.

Students receive guidance on:

  • Readability – There’s no second chance to make a good first impression, and ensuring grammar and spelling are on point will allow users to make it through a first, important screening hurdle.
  • Credibility – When employers read a resume, they scan for critical keywords that indicate if you’re worth interviewing. We help with key suggestions that will make employers excited to interview you!
  • Format – There are some unspoken rules in resume formatting, and you need to play by them. Some creativity is allowed, but if your resume is too far off the golden standard, it might get rejected.
  • ATS Fit – Resume AI helps you pinpoint exactly what to add or remove from your resume to make sure it bypasses the ATS bots and actually gets seen by an employer.
