Recruiters skim a stack and keep the resumes that answer the posting in its own words. We rebuild yours for each job in about two minutes.

Build a stronger resume

A resume that is 60 percent relevant to everything is 100 percent relevant to nothing.

Hundreds apply to the same job.

A posting on a job board collects hundreds of applications. The first read yours gets is a skim that lasts seconds, not minutes.

The skim looks for the posting's own words.

Recruiters read your resume against the posting they wrote. The ones that answer it in its own words get kept. The ones that nearly do get passed over.

Tailoring is the fix. Time was the cost.

Indeed's own career guide says to tailor your resume to every posting. Nobody argues with the advice. Nobody has an hour per application either. We collapsed that hour into about two minutes.

Build the material once. Every posting gets its own resume.

Second Round does two things. First it turns what you've actually done into resume-ready material. Then it rewrites that material to fit each role you go after, in about two minutes.

ROUND ZERO

The material

Talk through what you've actually done. An AI interviewer asks one question at a time; you answer out loud, and real resume bullets appear in your own words. You do this once. Rounds one through three you run for every job.

At JP Morgan, what are you proud of?
"I rebuilt the reconciliation process and cut our close time…"

Rebuilt month-end reconciliation, cutting close from 5 days to 2.

Process improvement

From "cut our close time…"

Example

A spoken answer becomes a resume bullet: "Rebuilt month-end reconciliation, cutting close from 5 days to 2," drawn from your own words.
ROUND ONE

The read

Upload your resume and paste the job. We score you against its actual requirements and name every vague bullet and missing must-have.

ROUND TWO

The fixes

Apply each fix and watch your score move toward a pass. No mystery numbers: cause, then effect.

Build a stronger resume

Sharpened for the role, never invented. Every word traces back to something you actually did.

Alex Mazza, founder of Second Round

For years I sent the same resume to hundreds of listings. Maybe 1 in 20 ever wrote back. So I built Second Round.

We rewrite. We don't fabricate. Every line traces back to something you actually did.

Straight answers to what everyone asks before their first roast.

We can't promise a number, and anyone who does is making it up. What we can do: a resume that answers the posting in its own words gets kept in the skim; identical blast resumes mostly don't. Try the roast free and judge the difference yourself.
