Your resume has 6 seconds. Does it land — or limp?
Before: You send applications into the void. No callbacks. No interviews. You don’t know what’s broken. After: You know your letter grade. You’ve deleted every sentence anyone could claim. Your Top 5 results sit at the top of page one. Recruiters call. Built on two concepts: the Miss America test (cross-department OR cross-level — either one fails) and the Definitional Dilemma (same-title language that makes you look average). Download. Score yourself. Upload to the Self-Grader for a letter grade and a step-by-step path to an A.

90-second walkthrough of the summary test, the two resume killers, the 3 W’s, and the Self-Grader grading portal.
The Two Resume Killers
| Killer | What It Means | Before (Fails) | After (Passes) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miss America | A sentence that crosses departments OR levels — either one fails. “Managed HR for Sales, Ops, and IT” crosses departments. “Led HR for 3 plants” crosses levels. Both are vague. | Led HR for five departments. | Fixed (4 W’s) |
| Definitional | A sentence anyone with your title could write. If it doesn’t have your name on it and still be true, it fails. “Managed recruitment process” — every HR Director on earth can say that. | Managed recruitment process. | Fixed (4 W’s) |

What Happens After You Score
70-100: Strong
Your resume holds up against any CHRO, any recruiter. You’re in the top tier.
Upload to the Self-Grader for polish and your letter grade.
40-69: Mixed
Before: Your resume describes someone who showed up. After: Your resume describes someone a CEO wants to meet.
You have some results showing — but too many sentences without proof. Gaps are fixable. A trained eye rewrites every bullet.
0-39: Needs Work
Before: You send a resume. They see a job description. After: You send a resume. They see a leader they need to call.
Every week your current resume is live, you’re missing interviews. This is urgent.
“After 20 years, I can tell you the two things that kill your chances: sentences that cross departments OR cross levels — either one fails. And sentences anyone with your title could use — making you look like a benchwarmer instead of a superstar. The worksheet diagnoses. The Self-Grader grades. But neither replaces 20 years of judgment in the room. If you’re tired of sending applications into the void, let’s fix this. Once.”
