The framework

What Megan reads in your resume, in the first pass.

Five signals from a decade of client resumes — the same triage she runs before deciding whether a resume needs a quick polish or a full rebuild.

  1. I.

    Title trajectory — does your career story show progression?

    Titles and promotions are the first thing Megan checks and the first thing most people bury. If your growth doesn't read instantly, the reader assumes there wasn't any.

    Ask yourself

    Can someone see your promotions and level progression in five seconds — or do they have to reconstruct it?

  2. II.

    Summary-to-role targeting — are you aiming at the right level?

    The overview at the top must target the specific role and seniority you want next. A generic summary reads as 'not sure what I'm applying for' — and gets filed accordingly.

    Ask yourself

    Does your summary name the role and level you're targeting, or could it belong to any of five different jobs?

  3. III.

    Accomplishment elevation — outcomes, not duties

    Megan looks for the main career takeaways: what you achieved, not what you were assigned. Duty lists are the most common fix she makes — and the one generic AI tools get wrong by making them sound machine-written.

    Ask yourself

    Does each bullet show a result you produced, or just an activity you performed?

  4. IV.

    Baseline strength — is this a polish or a rebuild?

    Her core gate: AI customization only works on a solid baseline. If the underlying resume is verbose, untargeted, or built on outdated practices, tuning it for each application just polishes the wrong thing.

    Ask yourself

    Are you customizing a strong resume — or repeatedly patching a weak one?

  5. V.

    Job-description cross-reference — is anything missing?

    Megan's method works backwards from real target JDs: skills, keywords, and accomplishments all accounted for against the roles you actually want, phrased like a human wrote them.

    Ask yourself

    When did you last check your resume line-by-line against a job description you'd actually apply to?

Get your resume's honest verdict before the next recruiter reaches one.

The Resume Health Scan reads your resume against Megan's five signals and tells you where you stand: what's strong, what's costing you interviews, and whether your baseline is solid enough to polish — or needs a proper rebuild.

People also ask

How is this different from pasting my resume into ChatGPT?

Generic AI polishes whatever you give it. Megan's scan first asks the question she asks every client: is this baseline worth polishing at all? It reads title trajectory, role targeting, and accomplishment strength the way she does, then gives you a verdict — polish or rebuild — instead of a prettier version of the same problems.

What does the free scan actually check?

Your title and promotion story, whether your summary targets the right role and level, whether accomplishments read as outcomes or duties, and whether the resume follows today's best practices. It ends with a baseline strength assessment and a concrete recommendation for what to fix first.

What if my resume needs more than a polish?

That's exactly what the scan is designed to catch. If your baseline is strong, a targeted customization aligns it against 2–3 real job descriptions you're pursuing. If it's verbose or untargeted, the full rewrite rebuilds it from Megan's intake method — strengths, ideal role, ideal title — with her review before anything is delivered.
