FeedbackR E V I E W Y O U R

Resume Analysis:Your resume is o1en your first chance to make a great impression on an employer. Quinn analyzes your resume and checks for repeated words, spelling, language complexity, font size, etc.

Click on “Resume Analysis” (on the le1 side, as indicated by the arrow) to see how your resume is analyzed and scored.

On the graph (on the le1 side, as indicated by the arrow below), keep track of your resume and see how much you've improved from the last Mme. Your improvement is rated as bronze, silver, or gold. See how you’re rated compared to all your school’s students.

Forma1ng: Is your resume easy to follow? Most employers will scan your resume for just 10 seconds to see if you're right for the job. Follow the right format, and limit your resume to one page; only a few specific industries will appreciate more than one page. By looking at the green box around the “Format” panel lines (shown in the screenshot below), see your scores for format, words, and dynamism.

Content: Are you selling yourself effecMvely? How impac\ul is your list of experiences? Content is what makes your resume. Include your GPA, jobs, internships, and key details (i.e., honors and awards). Quinn will look for these elements and score you accordingly.

How to Improve: Increase your likelihood of securing a job! Double-check that your degrees are spelled correctly. Don't forget to include every key detail. You can improve on all of these and more from the Mps in the “How to Improve” panel.

Interview Analysis

Click on “Interview Analysis” (on the le/ side, as indicated by the arrow) to see how your interview is analyzed and scored.

When your advisor’s feedback is available, see “Advisor’s Feedback” (on the right) to understand how well you performed. Your interview is analyzed in three forms: audio, video, and content. Each raFng is displayed by its respecFve Ftle (shown in the screenshot below).

Track your progress over mulFple interviews, and earn badges ( i.e., bronze, silver, and gold) for your interviewing strengths.

Are you unhappy with your interview performance? To learn how to earn gold, just click “How to Get Gold” (shown in the screenshot below).

Rate of Speech: Are you speaking too fast, too slow, or is your rate just right? Your rate of speech is calculated from the number of words spoken per minute. This panel shows the recommended speech rate across the enFre interview. In the screenshot below, the Fmer icon shows your average speed during the interview.

Speaking at the correct rate earns you five points per quesFon. To learn more about rate of speech, click “What’s rate of speech?” in the “Rate of Speech” panel.

Filler Words: These irrelevant words should be eliminated during interviews. We o/en use these words (e.g., “um” and “like”). To learn more about these words, click on “What’s a filler word?” in the “Filler Words” panel. Here you’ll see the total number of filler words used during the interview, filler words used per minute, and the actual filler words used. (This feedback can really help you avoid them!)

Communica)on Style: Your communica,on style ma2ers during interviews. This panel measures your confidence level, analy,cal skills, and apparent doubt. All of these—and more—are determined by how you present yourself during the interview.

Analy,cal An analy,cal tone indicates a person's reasoning and analy,cal aCtude about things. An analy,cal person might be perceived as intellectual, ra,onal, systema,c, emo,onless, or impersonal.

ConfidentA confident tone indicates a person's degree of certainty. A confident person might be perceived as assured, collected, hopeful, or ego,s,cal.

Tenta,veA tenta,ve tone indicates a person's degree of inhibi,on. A tenta,ve person might be perceived as ques,onable, doubFul, or debatable.

Enthusiasm: During an interview, your enthusiasm needs to be expressed—without going overboard. Your facial expressions, eye contact, voice inflec,ons, and word choice are all important to Quinn’s calcula,ons. The analysis of each ques,on is shown in the graph (see the screenshot below).

Emo$ons: In the “Emo+ons” panel, you can see all the feelings you expressed during the interview. That is, whether you showed sadness, anger, surprise, disgust, joy, or fear.

Eye Contact & A1re: Making the right amount of eye contact during an interview can make a huge difference. The eye icon shows you the amount of eye contact that’s recommended. Addi+onally, how you dressed will be ranked.

Prac%cing :)K E E P

What’s next? Well, you can prac7ce some interview ques7ons. You can schedule another interview for another date & 7me. But, if you’ve interviewed within the last hour, you can retake the interview instantly.

By selec7ng the different types of prac7ce ques7ons, you can prepare and polish your skills—without recording yourself.
