How It Works

How we review and build your resume

These guides are the exact playbook our AI follows. Read them to sharpen your resume yourself — and to understand what the Auditor and Generator are doing on your behalf.

The Auditor reviews what you have

It scores every bullet against the STAR rubric, catches grammar and clarity issues, flags wording that can invite bias, and gives prioritized, whole-resume recommendations — the same principles laid out in these guides.

The Generator writes to the job

When tailoring an application it rewrites your experience to match the posting (always staying factual), drafts a focused professional summary, and selects the skills that matter most for the role.

The principles

Bullet points & the STAR structure

Strong bullets tell a small story: the challenge you faced, what you did about it, and what changed as a result. STAR is a simple way to keep that story complete.

Lead with strong action verbs

The first word of a bullet does the heavy lifting. A precise, active verb tells the reader instantly what you did and how much you owned it.

Quantify your impact

Numbers turn claims into evidence. Percentages, dollars, time saved, and scale give a recruiter something concrete to hang onto.

Achievements over responsibilities

A job description lists duties. A resume should list what you accomplished doing them. Recruiters already know roughly what your title entails.

Cut the noise

Clichés, filler, and vague self-praise take up space without adding evidence. Clear, concrete language always wins.

Formatting & length

Clean, predictable formatting helps both a human skimming in seconds and the software that parses your resume first.

Tailor to the job

A resume aimed at one specific posting beats a generic one every time. Mirror the language the employer used and lead with what they asked for.

Sections & ordering

Where information sits on the page decides what gets read. Put the strongest, most relevant material where a recruiter looks first.
