What this checks
- Relevance: does the resume clearly match a specific target role, or is it a generic “I can do everything” document?
- Impact: do your bullets show outcomes and scope (numbers, speed, scale), or just tasks?
- Scanability: can a recruiter skim it in 10 seconds and still understand your core story?
- Keyword coverage: are the core skills/themes from the job description present in a natural way?
- Trust: is it credible (no obvious exaggeration, no “expert in everything”)?
The quick checklist
1) Positioning (top third)
- Header has a clear role target (e.g. “Product Analyst”, not “Hard-working professional”).
- Summary is 3–5 lines and role-specific.
- Top experience bullets match the role’s top requirements.
2) Bullet quality
- Each bullet starts with a strong verb and names the thing you changed.
- At least 1–2 bullets per role include numbers (revenue, time, cost, quality, scale).
- No “responsible for” filler; tasks are folded into outcomes.
3) Structure & readability
- Consistent dates/titles; no “mystery gaps” created by sloppy formatting.
- One page if you’re early-career; two pages if you have real depth.
- Simple formatting (ATS-readable) and predictable headings.
