Resume achievement checker
See which lines show a result and which only list a duty, and what to ask yourself to find the number.
Proof or duty on every line.
Counted, not guessed
The Studio's own rules decide: a number, a scale or a change you name counts. A job description doesn't.
Vague words don't count
“Many”, “various” and “significantly” are marked, because they hint at a size without saying it.
Questions, not made-up numbers
Each duty comes with what to ask yourself: how many, how much, how often, compared to what.

How do I quantify achievements on my resume?
Ask four questions of each line: how many, how much, how often, and compared to what. The answers are your numbers: people trained, money handled, tickets a week, days saved. The checker asks them for every line that only lists a duty.
What if my job has no numbers?
Most jobs have more than you think: customers served a day, rooms cleaned a shift, classes taught a week. If there truly is no figure, a change said in words counts too: “so new starters stopped missing payroll forms”. The checker marks that as a result.
Do words like “many” or “various” count as proof?
No. They hint at a size without saying it. The checker marks 17 of them, such as “many”, “several”, “various” and “significantly”, and asks for the number they stand in for.
What's the difference between a duty and an achievement?
A duty is what the job asked of you: “Managed the rota”. An achievement is what changed because you did it: “Cut rota gaps from 6 a week to 1”. A line that opens on “Responsible for” reads as a duty even with a figure in it.
Will it add numbers to my bullets?
No. It never writes a number for you. A made-up figure is the first thing an interviewer asks about. It shows which lines need one and the questions to find it, and you fill in only what you can stand behind.
Is it the same check as the Studio?
Yes. A line called a duty here is called one in the Studio's Review, by the same rules. The Studio also marks it on your resume, right where you edit it.
Is what I paste uploaded or saved?
No. The checker runs in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to ATSPrep or anyone else, and it's gone when you leave the page.
