With our Job Matching tool, you can select a job you've bookmarked and see how it matches up against your resume. If you need help determining which pieces of resume content you should turn on/off based on the job description, Teal can help curate your resume to better match your connected job!
Read on to learn how.
NOTE: The ability to have Teal turn on/off content within your Resume Builder according to its relevance to the connected job description is a Teal+ feature.
Using Auto-Selection
Currently, the Auto-Selection tool can be access from our Job Matching tool, the Job Tracker, and the Resume Builder.
Job Matching
Head to your Resume Builder and click "Job Matching" in the top toolbar to open the tool. Here, you'll be prompted to select a bookmarked job or add one manually. This will be the job description used to match against your resume for curation.
By default, the "Auto-Select content to this job" option will be toggled on – you can choose to keep it on or toggle it off before clicking "Get Started" to begin the keyword generation. Keeping that option toggled on will activate our Auto-Selection tool, which may take some time to curate your resume, depending on how much content your Resume Builder and the job description contains.
You can also run the Auto-Selection tool later on, if you opted not to when you did the initial job match!
Job Tracker
To connect a resume from your Job Tracker, you'll first need to click into the role you'd like to work on to open a more detailed view of it. From here, click "Resumes," and you'll be asked to choose from two options: "Search Teal Resumes" or "Create a New Resume."
Auto-Selection with an Existing Resume
When you search for an existing resume to attach to a job from the Job Tracker, Auto-Selection will not automatically run. You must go to the resume and click the "Run Auto-Selection" button to use the tool.
Auto-Selection with a New Resume
When you create a new resume from the Job Tracker, the Auto-Selection tool will be toggled on by default. Keeping it on will prompt the tool to run upon creating the resume, and toggling it off will require you to manually click "Run Auto-Selection" to start the curation.
Resume Builder
When you click the "Create a New Resume" button from your Resume Builder home page, you'll see the option to attach a saved job to the new resume. Clicking into the search bar will allow you either search for a bookmarked job or select one from the dropdown menu.
Once a job has been selected, pick the "Auto-Select Content to Matched Job," then "Create New Resume" button to automatically begin the curation process for your new resume.
NOTE: Our Auto-Selection tool currently looks at both the checked and unchecked content of your Work Experience and Skills sections only to curate your resume for a particular job description.
After the Curation is Complete
Upon creating a new resume, all of your Work Experience bullet points will be checked on by default. When you run the Auto-Selection tool, you'll see some of your bullet points and skills automatically checked off and rearranged based on their relevance to the matched job description.
For example, Auto-Selection kept all the bullets associated with "ABC Company" active, but rearranged them according to relevance. For "Elemental Designs," the tool deactivated a bullet point and rearranged the remaining active ones.
NOTE: While Auto-Selection is designed to analyze the connected job description and suggest the most relevant resume content based on the keywords and requirements mentioned, as with any AI tool that we offer, we recommend you review the draft that is generated and make adjustments as you see fit.
Since Auto-Selection determines which experiences and skills to select/deselect based on their relevance to the job description (i.e., it focuses beyond just keywords), you may see some statements containing a surfaced keyword that are deactivated. This would be a case in which you can determine if you'd like to add that statement to your resume or not to increase your keyword match.
If you run the tool and don't need much of a change, though, it means that the bullet points you have selected are already a good match for the job description!
Additionally, as you continue to edit your Resume Builder content, you can re-run the Auto-Selection tool to regenerate resume curation results with the new details.
