Coming soonIn private testing, opening shortly
You’ve already done the work.
We help you show it.
Write down what you’ve done, once. For every job you apply to, Lapidly picks the parts that matter and leaves the rest out.
It is being tested privately right now, with a small number of people putting it against real applications. Accounts open once it holds up for them.
Keep reading to see what it does.
1
Tell us what you've done
Every job you've had, and what you actually did there, in your words. Write it plainly — this is the bank every future resume draws from, so it is worth getting down properly once.
Takes an afternoon, once. You'll use it for every job after that.
2
Paste the job you want
Drop in the link. We read the posting, work out what they're really asking for, and tell you honestly how much of it you already have.
Sometimes we'll say don't bother. That's the point.
3
We pick, you approve
For this job, these five things matter and those three don't. We choose from what you wrote and put the strongest first. We never write anything new.
Every word on the page is a word you wrote.
4
We check it before you send
A resume can look perfect on screen and turn to nonsense when a company's software reads it. We make sure yours can be read properly, every time.
If it fails, you don't get it. We fix it first.
How to write a line
Same facts. Better sentence.
Most people write a weak line because nobody ever asked them the right question, not because they can’t write. These are the questions worth asking yourself.
You ask them, not us. Lapidly does not coach your writing yet — it selects from what you have already written. Guided questions are on the list, not in the product.
Kitchen
You write
“Worked the grill on weekends.”
Worth asking
How busy were services? Did you train anyone?
You end up with
“Ran the grill station through 200+ cover dinner services, training two new line cooks on setup and ticket timing.”
Care work
You write
“Looked after patients on the ward.”
Worth asking
How many patients per shift? Anything you were trusted with?
You end up with
“Supported daily care for 12 patients per shift, trusted with medication rounds and handover to the incoming team.”
Warehouse
You write
“Did stock and deliveries.”
Worth asking
How much moved through? Did anything improve?
You end up with
“Handled 300+ inbound pallets a week, reorganizing the pick face to cut order errors on the busiest lines.”
Every number in those sentences came from the person, not from a model. If you don’t know a figure, say roughly, or leave it out. Nothing in Lapidly will make one up for you.
The part nobody tells you
Most employers never see your resume.
Software reads it first. It pulls out your name, your jobs, your skills. If it can’t read the file properly, a person may never look at it at all.
That goes wrong more often than you’d think, and you never find out. A resume that looks flawless on your screen can arrive scrambled at the other end. One real example: a heading that read EDUCATION on screen reached the other side as EDUCA TION, split in half by the letter spacing that made it look good. Nothing on screen would have shown it.
Companies don’t all use the same software, and no two programs read a PDF quite the same way. So we run yours through two of them, built on completely different code, and check that both come back with your name, your contact details and every section heading intact.
If one finds them and the other doesn’t, your resume is a coin toss. You don’t get the file until that’s fixed.
- Your name reads correctly
- Job titles and dates are exactly right
- Nothing you can't say publicly appears
- No skill you didn't put there
- No words broken in half
- Fits on two pages
- Name and headings survived both checks
Then they ask you about it in the interview, and you can answer every line of it.
3+ years in the role
You have four
Working under pressure
Covered in two of your jobs
Training or leading others
You trained two people
A specific certification
You don't have this yet
You have 3 of the 4 things they asked for.
Worth applying. Mention the gap. Say you’re working on it rather than hoping nobody notices.
Before you spend the time
We’ll tell you the truth.
Paste a job and you get a straight answer: here’s what they asked for, here’s what you’ve got, here’s what’s missing.
We count it. 3 of 4, not “87% match”. You can check a count yourself against the posting. A percentage is just a number somebody made up.
And when the gaps are real, we say so. Applying for everything is how people end up sending fifty applications and hearing nothing back.
Whatever work you do.
Kitchens, wards, warehouses, workshops, classrooms, offices. If you’ve done the work, you deserve a resume that shows it, and one you can stand behind in the room.
