This digital career platform uses an AI-powered resume builder that allows job seekers to customize a resume based upon their accomplishments and goals.
Job seekers can use templates to build their resumes section by section and get immediate feedback on what is effective and what could be improved with better descriptions or examples. Job seekers also can upload their existing resumes and use the automated resume reviewer to improve the resume or better position the resume to the job they are targeting. When building a resume, users can either use preset font size options of Very Small, Small, Medium, and Large, or use the platform’s Custom Font Sizes feature, which allows users to adjust the font size for different text groups such as Headings, Contact Info, Sub-Headings, and more.
In addition, cover letter templates in the system can be paired with the chosen resume template to create a consistent product to the employer. This features also allows users to build their cover letter based upon the description of their targeted job. As with the resume builder, users will get suggestions for improving the effectiveness of their cover letters.
Another powerful feature of the platform is in AI-powered LinkedIn profile reviewer. LinkedIn is used by human resources professionals and employers as a way to get to know a job seeker, and this platform feature allows users to upload their LinkedIn profile and have it reviewed for effectiveness. Like the resume feature, the system offers suggestions for content improvement, including examples of accomplishments and related enhancements.
Finally, the platform includes more than one hundred job interview practice modules, each with dozens of questions. The modules are designed to help job seekers get prepared for interviews by offering answers to specific questions related to a job. Answers will be scored for effectiveness and suggestions for improvement are offered.
