Ok, I gave it a shot. For reference, here's my resume (google doc link so I don't have to PDF bomb people, and because I never bothered to transfer this thing to HTML): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A3Ns93sbE8v70hCt7yWJigoiL0sQZNTtMPr9zVtkoqM/ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A3Ns93sbE8v70hCt7yWJigoi...
Apparently I have only 7 of 30 "Must Have Words." I have TDD, Open Source, API, AWS, GitHub, REST. I should include, according to this site:
, Security
, Scalability
, OOP
, Continuous Integration (CI)
, Availability
, Docker
, SOLID
, NoSQL
, Configuration Management (CM), Robust, Tuning, Algorithm, Web services, Networking, Design Patterns, Unit testing, Hadoop, Continuous Deployment (CD), Big Data, Agile, Machine Learning, Microservices, Artificial Intelligence.
I use "enough" action verbs that "emphasize my tech skills":
engineer develop architected engineered code built
But I could add some more:
Debugged
Upgraded
Assembled
Rebuilt
Investigated
Trained
Devised
Programmed
Maintained
Designed
Redesigned
Applied
Utilized
Overhauled
Initiated
Solved
Reduced
Now it's got some freaky little pie chart thing that I don't understand, but it says that to applicant tracking software, I look like a "Other 16%, Back-end (Javascript), QA, Cloud Computing, Front-end" guy.
Looks like I have to pay to unlock some other things, like it says it found typos, something about soft skills, something about resume size, dunno. Mildly interesting, though I find this fairly useless compared to just having someone professional look at your resume. I'm not sure adding the word "Unit Testing" to my resume increases my chances at getting into netflix, I already list my unit testing frameworks and my testing experience at electric imp, though I suppose it will be missed by a non-programming recruiter just scanning for keywords, so that keyword stuff is probably the best advice this thing gives.
