The standard
What full marks looks like
Our grader scores five things out of twenty each and tells you what is wrong. It has never shown you what right looks like. This is a resume written against every criterion it scores on, with each dimension explained and pointed at the part of the document that satisfies it.
We are not going to tell you this scores 100. The grader is an AI model and its score moves a point or two between runs, so any number we printed here would be one you might not reproduce. What we will say is checkable: it satisfies every criterion in the rubric below, and the mechanical ones — contact completeness, bullet counts, no first-person, no employment gaps, clean parsing — are enforced by a test that fails if that stops being true.
Dana Whitfield is invented. We are not going to demonstrate a standard by printing a real person’s career.
Impact
out of 20What the grader asks for: Every bullet should pass the 3-part test — action verb, then a specific scale, tool or scope detail, then a result. Quantified where numbers exist; a truthful qualitative result beats none. Vague wording and bare task statements like "Handled sales" lose marks.
Where this resume does it: Every bullet names a verb, something specific, and what changed. None of them describes a duty.
Removed $410,000 of annual freight spend by consolidating from nine carriers to four and rezoning the delivery map around actual order density.
Clarity
out of 20What the grader asks for: Verb-first sentences with the subject implied, no first-person pronouns, bullets one to two rendered lines, readable at a glance.
Where this resume does it: No "I" or "my" anywhere. Every bullet opens on a verb and ends inside two lines. The longest is 31 words, and it is the one carrying two numbers.
Raised on-time delivery from 87% to 96% over eighteen months by rebuilding the carrier mix and holding weekly exception reviews with the three worst lanes.
Structure
out of 20What the grader asks for: Headline and summary present, skills section, reverse-chronological experience with role context and achievement bullets, education, complete contact — city and state, phone, email, LinkedIn. Depth weighted to recent roles: up to 9 bullets on the current one, 4-5 on older ones.
Where this resume does it: Seven bullets on the current role, four on the one before, three on the oldest. Each job carries a one-line context sentence saying what the company is, so the numbers have a scale to sit against. Contact is complete.
ATS readiness
out of 20What the grader asks for: Standard generic section names, a parseable linear layout, no dependence on tables or graphics, keywords used naturally about two to four times each where true, and no stuffing.
Where this resume does it: Single column. Sections named the plain way — Professional Summary, Skills, Professional Experience, Education. Dates in one consistent format. "Warehouse", "carrier" and "inventory" each appear a handful of times because the work involved them, not to hit a count.
Relevance
out of 20What the grader asks for: The 10-second test — would a stranger skimming for ten seconds call this person a strong fit for the target role? The most relevant evidence has to be reachable in the first scan.
Where this resume does it: Written for one target: Operations Manager. The headline says it, the summary's first words say it, and the three strongest numbers are above the fold. Relevance cannot be scored against nothing — with no target role set, the grader scores out of 80 and says so.
The thing that cannot be copied
Every number above belongs to somebody. Yours will be different numbers about different work, and a resume that borrows these would fall apart in the first interview. What is worth taking from this page is the shape: a verb, something specific, and what changed — on every line.
