• Yellow Zone (33-85): You are on the right track! With some focused effort you can get into the green zone. Follow the feedback and improve your score.
• Red Zone (0-32): Pay attention to the feedback and specific examples relevant to your resume.

VMock System Level Feedback

System level feedback has 3 main moduels: impact, presentation, and competencies.

• Impact: Every time recruiters see an experience on your resume, they ask “So what?” Impact is the measure of how effectively you have answered that question
  
• Presentation: Presentation encompasses resume structure, length, grammar, and spelling.
• Competencies: Competencies is the measure of how effectively you demonstrate in-demand skills like communication, collaboration, and analytical thinking.

You may navigate between each module by clicking on its name, below your resume score.

Each main module is comprised of core elements. Scroll down and click through each core element to view corresponding feedback highlighted in your resume.

VMock Targeted Feedback

Targeted Feedback
Its core elements comprise of the corresponding sections in your resume and the feedback is generated by bench-marking the content against high scoring resumes of students in your community. For example; Suppose your Resume includes three sections—education, related work experience, and languages— then Targeted Feedback will only have three core elements: education, related work experience, and languages.

Section Level Feedback

Feedback on content development and its placement on your resume. For example; Suppose you list degree, major, and graduation year in the education section of your Resume. VMock may recommend that you also include GPA, research projects, and coursework.

Bullet Level Feedback

Section Level Feedback also includes bullet level feedback. Bullet level feedback evaluates bullet points on six parameters which are action-oriented, active voice, specifics, over-usage, filler words and bullet length to provide suggestions for improvement.

When you are finished reviewing VMock’s detailed feedback, it’s time to revise your Resume by incorporating the feedback and customized suggestions.
