They aren’t personality types. Each one is a common resume habit: a specific pattern, with a specific cost, and a specific fix. You’ll probably recognise yourself within a couple of questions.
The Buzzword Sommelier has an excellent vocabulary and no evidence. The Humble Ghost did the work and refuses to claim it. The Serial Pivoter has a story that makes sense out loud and looks random on paper.
The Wall of Text wrote everything down and made none of it scannable. The Understater describes a director’s job in a coordinator’s language. And the Ghost of Jobs Past is still leading with something they did in 2014.
Because the archetypes are about how you write, not what you’ve done, and the habits show up in how you answer eight questions just as clearly as in the document itself. It also means nothing gets uploaded or stored, which matters if you’re job hunting quietly. The trade-off is honest: this identifies a pattern, it doesn’t grade your resume. For that, run the free roast.
A grade tells you where you stand. A pattern tells you what to do on Monday, and the second one is often more useful, because a handful of habits account for a lot of what holds a resume back.
The habits also cluster. Someone who buries their achievements in modest language often also under-quantifies; someone writing in buzzwords is often also writing for no particular job. Naming the cluster means one fix cascades into several, rather than working through a checklist of twenty small edits with no sense of which matter.
Each archetype comes with the one fix that matters most for that specific pattern and a link to the guide that covers it properly, because knowing you’re a Buzzword Sommelier is only useful if you also get the list of 27 phrases to cut. Results live at their own shareable URL, so you can compare notes with someone else who’s job hunting.
If you already know which one you are, go straight to the fix.
No. The quiz is eight multiple-choice questions about how you write, not what you've done. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored.
It identifies a pattern, not a grade. The six archetypes are common resume habits, each with a specific tell, cost, and fix. The quiz is pattern-matching your habits, not evaluating your document. For that, run the actual roast.
The Buzzword Sommelier, the Humble Ghost, the Serial Pivoter, the Wall of Text, the Understater, and the Ghost of Jobs Past. Each one has a specific tell, a specific cost, and a specific fix.
Each archetype comes with the one fix that matters most for that pattern, and a link to the guide that covers it properly. The result page is shareable, so it's also a fast way to compare notes with someone else job hunting.
