// Why proofreading matters

The free AI proofreader job seekers actually use

This free AI proofreader catches the grammar mistakes, awkward phrases, and tone slips that quietly cost job seekers interviews. Paste your cover letter, your CV bullets, your motivation letter, or your LinkedIn About section — the proofreader returns a corrected version with a side-by-side diff so you can see exactly what changed.

It works in English and German, supports four review modes (Grammar & Spelling, Tone & Clarity, ATS Optimization, Full Review), and never stores your text.

Common mistakes that kill job applications

  • Tense drift inside a single bullet ('Led a team and improving outcomes')
  • Vague verbs — 'helped with', 'was involved in', 'worked on'
  • Adjective stacking without evidence — 'a passionate, driven, dynamic professional'
  • Inconsistent number formatting — '15%', 'twenty percent', and '£10k' in the same document
  • Wrong case in German (Akkusativ where Dativ is required, missing Genitiv)
  • AI tells — em-dash overuse, 'delve into', 'in today's fast-paced world', 'leverage' as a verb

// Pre-send checklist

Five steps before you hit send

  1. Read it out loud — anything you stumble over needs rewriting
  2. Count the 'I' in your cover letter — if more than 7, you're talking about yourself, not the employer
  3. Check every number — recruiters verify, and a single wrong date kills credibility
  4. Run it through the proofreader, accept the changes you agree with, regenerate if the tone is off
  5. Sleep on it, re-read in the morning, then send

More on the free AI grammar checker for job applications

A free AI proofreader for job-application text is a different product than a general grammar checker. Grammarly and LanguageTool are great for everyday writing; this one understands cover letters, CV bullets, motivation letters, and LinkedIn summaries as document types. It returns a single rewritten draft you can copy directly, plus a side-by-side diff so you see exactly what changed.

Four review modes: Grammar & Spelling (lightest touch), Tone & Clarity (rewrites for impact), ATS Optimization (tightens keyword phrasing), and Full Review (everything). Works in English and German with native grammar rules — including correct Akkusativ / Dativ / Genitiv case usage, formal Sie-form, and German punctuation.
