A. Overview of Self-Serve Resume and Cover Letter Assist
The Resume Assist module allows you to upload a résumé and cover letter to receive tailored, AI‑guided feedback based on a specific job posting. The tool evaluates how well your documents align with the role and provides section‑by‑section suggestions for improvement.
Once a résumé draft is generated, you can review formatting, content, and scoring for each section. Feedback is provided with options to edit or update based on both the rubric and the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) score.
Rubric Score: Measures the quality and completeness of each résumé or cover letter section. The overall score is calculated as the average across all relevant sections. This score emphasizes content quality—clarity, relevance, depth, and impact.
ATS Score: Assesses how well the résumé is optimized for applicant tracking systems. It evaluates role match, searchability, and formatting against the target job description.
Together, these scores provide a comprehensive view of both the effectiveness and technical readiness of your résumé and cover letter.
