Analysis Mode surfaces "issues" related to foundational resume structure and content. The provided "issues" are related to areas in your resume that can be made more impactful, consolidated, or concise.
Read below for what you can expect in Analysis Mode and how to appropriately resolve each issue!
Associated Scores
In the Resume Builder, you'll notice you have a Resume Score and a Match Score. Match Score is associated with Matching Mode. More on that can be found here!
The resume score is listed as "score," in your Resume Builder and is associated with Analysis Mode.
Access Analysis Mode
To access Analysis Mode, open a resume of your choice.
In the top tool bar, you'll notice an "Analysis" mode – typically with a number flag of how many issues you have yet to solve if you've not previously fixed them.
Issue Cards
When you click into Analysis mode, you'll be presented with "issue" cards.
If you're on a free plan, you'll see the top basic issues. Teal+ members will see advanced analysis issues.
Issues range from:
Missing Time-Based Metrics
Missing Improvement Metrics
Other missing important details, such as:
Contact Information
Professional Summary
Target Title
Additionally, issue cards may prompt you to shorten or add to the content on your resume. For example:
Remove skills if too many
Length of achievements (and how many achievements currently active)
Incorporating skills into your achievements
You can find more details on what's required by clicking on each card!
Time-Based Metrics Missing
Time-Based statements are those that describe an impact within a period of time and use an "in" or "within" format.
For example: "Increased profits 50% in 5 (five) weeks" or "Increased retention in 2023 by..."
To satisfy this requirement: you'll want to include two achievements that have time-based statements, and they must follow the format provided.
Improvement Metrics Missing
Improvement Metrics are those that describe impact by using metrics and use number percentages, ranges, or monetary amounts.
For example: "Increased profits by 25-26%" or "Increased profits by $250"
To satisfy this requirement: you only need one achievement to include an improvement-metric, and it must follow the format provided.
Number of Skills in "Position"
This issue card is meant to flag how many keywords (skills) are being used within a specific work experience. The skills referenced are keywords associated with the job you've matched to in Matching Mode.
The goal is to include some of these skills within each of your work experiences.
Note: This "issue" card will tell you exactly which position or experience is missing skills/keywords!
Number of Achievements in "Position"
Issue cards related to "number of achievements" are meant to provide guidance for how many achievements we'd recommend based on the relevancy of an experience.
"Active" references the checkbox associated with the achievement. If the checkbox is selected, then the achievement/experience is active.
Note: Often, these cards will provide ranges such as "3-5 active achievements." This is a recommendation to have no less than 3 achievements and no more than 5.
If you find that you're still not satisfying the issue cards, even though you're following the outlined instructions, reach out to us at [email protected]!
These recommendations are meant to be just that – recommendations! If something doesn't sit right with you, then we recommend trusting your gut and sharing with us why that is. We're always looking for opportunities to improve and your feedback is instrumental in doing so!
