4. Editing Your Resume
Once you're inside the resume editor, you'll have several options to tailor your resume to your preferences:
Edit Template, Style, and Layout: Customize the overall design and layout of your resume to reflect your unique style and professional branding. You can modify the template, font styles, colors, and structure to suit your needs.

- Editing, Reordering, or Deleting a Resume Section: Each section, such as Experience, has a six-dot icon located on the left side of the section header (highlighted in the red box in the image). This icon appears when you hover over a section. When you click the six-dot icon, a menu with the following options will appear:
- Move Down — shifts the section lower in your resume.
- Re-order — allows you to drag and rearrange the section’s position.
- Add Experience — adds a new entry inside that section.
- Delete — completely removes that section from your resume.
5. Reviewing Your Resume
Once you've completed your resume, you’ll find the Review option located on the left side of the screen.
Click on Review to access the Resume Review Results. This will include:
Grade: An overall score that reflects how well your resume adheres to best practices and industry standards.
Areas of Improvement: A detailed breakdown of potential issues:
Urgent Issues: Critical errors that require immediate attention and correction.
Critical Issues: Important issues that need to be addressed, but they are not as urgent as the urgent issues.
Optional Issues: Suggestions for improvement that are not essential but can enhance the overall quality of your resume.
Once you've reviewed the feedback and made the changes in the resume, click "Resolved" next to each issue to mark it as fixed. This will update your resume review.
After that, click Reanalyze Review to check if the issues persist. If the issues remain, it means the corrections weren't properly applied. If they disappear, you’ve successfully addressed the issue! Keep focusing on fixing the Urgent and Critical Issues first, as they have the greatest impact on your overall resume score and can significantly improve your chances with recruiters.
