Need help determining what experiences to include in your resume based on a connected job description? Use Auto-Select to curate any resume!

Updated this week

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.

Access the Auto-Select Tool

Currently, the Auto-Select tool can be accessed 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.

To run the Auto-Select tool, make sure that the "Auto-Select content to this job" feature is toggled on before clicking "Get Started." Depending on how much content your Resume Builder and the job description contains, it may take some time to curate your resume once the tool has been activated.

Job Tracker

When you create a new resume from the Job Tracker, you'll need to click the "Auto-Select Content to Matched Job" to begin the curation process. This will create a new document and automatically match the resume to the role that you made it from.

Resume Builder

NOTE: "Auto-Select Content to Matched Job" will only be available in the dropdown after you make 6 or more resumes.

When you click the "Create 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 "Auto-Select Content to Matched Job," then "Create New Resume" button to automatically begin the curation process for your new resume.


After the Curation is Complete

NOTE: Our Auto-Select 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.

Upon creating a new resume, all of your Work Experience bullet points will be checked on by default. When you run the Auto-Select 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-Select 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-Select 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-Select 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!
