First-class experience Academic · personal · open source.
Academic, personal, and open-source projects are treated as first-class experience: when most of your evidence lives in projects, the resume is built around them.
Project depth What tailoring draws on.
- Your role and tier on the project
- Personal contributions — what you built
- Decisions and the why — alternatives rejected
- Scale
- Measured outcomes
- Challenges — and how they resolved
The bounds Calibrated, not inflated.
Calibrated to the level of the role you’re applying for, bounded by what your history actually supports.
Employers, titles, and dates are not altered.
What it won’t do Gaps stay gaps.
If a job asks for something your history doesn’t show, the resume doesn’t fake it — the gap is reported and the match score reflects it.
A lower honest score beats a higher fabricated one.
