Question 1

How is the resume score calculated?

Accepted Answer

CareerLens scores your resume out of 100 across 4 dimensions: ATS Compatibility (keyword matching, format), Skills Match (relevant skills for your role), Content Quality (measurable achievements, strong verbs), and Formatting (layout, length, readability). Most real-world resumes score between 40 and 65.

Question 2

What is a good resume score?

Accepted Answer

A score of 75 or above is strong and likely to pass ATS filters and impress recruiters. 55–74 is average — you'll get some callbacks but miss many. Below 55 means significant issues that are actively costing you interviews.

Question 3

How do I improve my resume score?

Accepted Answer

The fastest ways to improve: add role-specific keywords, replace weak verbs (responsible for, helped with) with strong ones (built, reduced, increased), add measurable results to at least 60% of bullets, ensure clean single-column formatting.
