7.4-second signal rubric

Story

35%

Does your career path make sense when someone reads it quickly?

Impact

30%

Do your bullets show real results, numbers, scope, and outcomes, not just responsibilities?

Clarity

20%

Can a recruiter tell what you do, how senior you are, and why you matter without re-reading?

Readability

15%

Is the document easy to scan quickly?

What the feedback focuses on

We tell you what's weakening your resume, what to rewrite first, and where your positioning could be stronger.

How we write rewrites

Rewrites focus on real results and tighter language, not inflated claims or generic filler.

How we handle uncertainty

We surface confidence directly in evidence-heavy sections so weaker recommendations are framed honestly instead of sounding certain when the input is thin.

Limits and responsible use

  • 1. Scores estimate how strong your resume signal is. They don't guarantee interviews or offers.
  • 2. Industry and role context can shift what matters most in any given report.
  • 3. Always double-check the rewrites for accuracy and tone before using them.
  • 4. For deeper research references, see the full methodology article.
