Improving Your Resume Score
How do I get a "good" score?
Adjust the language by reducing repetitive action verbs, making your resume more dynamic. Highlight your achievements with metrics to showcase your skills and experience. When using Huntr's score factors, concentrate on three areas: Section Completion, Content Quality, and Content Length. After uploading your resume, ensure all key details like work experience, education, and skills are filled in.
What IS a good score?
Aim for a score around 80; while a perfect 100 might sound ideal, it can strip away the personal touch. Remember, a high-quality resume is more important than just hitting a perfect score. ✅
Each factor contains a drop down, this appears after you have imported your resume. Click into each of them to begin editing your resume based on the feedback provided within the score.
Section Completion: This includes providing accurate and up-to-date contact information, a concise professional summary, and detailed sections for work experience, education, a professional summary, and skills. Each job entry should include job titles, company names, dates of employment.
Content Quality: Write clear, engaging descriptions that highlight your skills and achievements. Mix up your action verbs to keep things fresh and avoid repetition. Whenever possible, include metrics to show the impact of your work—this makes your resume more impressive to recruiters.
Content Length: Make sure each section has enough detail to highlight your skills and experience, but skip any extra unrelated information. Focus on key achievements for each role that showcase your strengths. Aim for a one-to-two page resume to keep it readable while covering the essentials. This keeps your resume concise yet informative, and also appealing to recruiters
💡 Keep in mind!
A great resume is more than just a list of skills and experiences—it’s a reflection of you. Remember, no two resumes are alike, and adding your own personal style is what can make yours stand out.
