Your first week
An opinionated path through Revquix - what to do first, what to leave until later, and the one mistake that wastes credits.
Revquix has a lot in it, and the parts are independent - which is freedom if you know what you want and paralysis if you do not. This is one route through, in the order that gets you something useful fastest.
Skip anything that does not apply to you.
Day one: find out where your resume stands#
-
Run the free ATS check. It tells you whether your file parses at all, which is the thing that silently ends applications. Free, no credits, no account needed - the ATS check.
-
Then run the readiness report. This is the one that costs credits and the one worth spending them on: a score with every deduction explained - your readiness score.
-
Read the findings before doing anything else. Fixing the top two or three is usually worth more than everything below them put together.
Day two: fix the resume, then re-check#
Use writing good bullets as the reference - most resume problems are bullet problems.
If you would rather start clean, the Resume Builder is free and unlimited.
Re-run the readiness report when you are done. The score history shows the movement, which is the point.
Day three: aim it at a real job#
Paste a job description into the JD match. It tells you whether your resume answers that posting, which is a different question from whether it is good.
Then, if you are applying: a cover letter, and an outreach message if you have somebody to write to.
The rest of the week: pick one#
These do not need doing in order, and doing all of them badly is worse than one properly.
Practice
If interviews are the bottleneck. Start with a track rather than choosing problems.
Projects
If you need something to show. A real editor, and push to GitHub.
Mentorship
If you would rather ask somebody who has done the job.
Canvas
If you are preparing a system-design answer.
Two things to set up while you are here#
- Your username, because it is your public profile's address and the good ones go - your username.
- Two-step verification - two-step verification.
Spending credits sensibly#
Credits are for the AI-backed tools. Everything else - the builder, the ATS check, the judge, the editor, Canvas, the calculators - is free.
