Resume Word Counter and Length Checker

The tool counts words, characters (with and without spaces), lines, and bullet points. It estimates pages from the word count and checks that your bullets are short and start with action verbs. It also lists the words you repeat most, which often reveals overused phrases.

There is no official limit, but these ranges are common rules of thumb. Layout, font size, and the employer's instructions change the real answer.

• Student or entry level: about 300 to 600 words, one page.
• Mid-career: about 450 to 900 words, one to two pages.
• Senior or executive: about 600 to 1,100 words, up to two pages.

The more important rule is relevance: every line should help you win this particular job.

1. Remove roles older than 10 to 15 years unless they are essential.
2. Cut duties that everyone in the role does and keep the ones that show impact.
3. Merge similar bullets and keep each to one or two lines.
4. Delete soft-skill lists and objective statements that say nothing specific.
5. Use a clean layout with normal margins instead of shrinking the font.

1. Add scope: team size, customers, tools, or volume you handled.
2. Add the result of each task, with numbers only when they are real.
3. Add relevant projects, certifications, or volunteering.
4. Use the terms from the job posting where they are true for you.
