Using the Resume Analyzer

The Resume Analyzer reviews foundational resume structure and content and highlights areas that can be made more impactful or concise

Updated this week

Associated Scores

In the Resume Builder, you'll notice you have a Resume Score and a Match Score. Match Score is associated with the Job Matcher. More on that can be found here!

The resume score is listed as "score," in your Resume Builder and is associated with the Resume Analyzer.


Access the Resume Analyzer

To access the Resume Analyzer, open a resume of your choice.

In the top tool bar, you'll notice an "Analyzer" tab – 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 the Resume Analyzer, 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 bullets (and how many bullets are currently active)

    • Incorporating skills into your bullets

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 bullets 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 bullet 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 Bullets in "Position"

Issue cards related to "number of bullets" are meant to provide guidance for how many bullets we'd recommend based on the relevancy of an experience.

  • "Active" references the checkbox associated with the bullet. If the checkbox is selected, then the bullet/experience is active.

Note: Often, these cards will provide ranges such as "3-5 active bullets." This is a recommendation to have no less than 3 bullets 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!
