Resume Analytics — What Word Count, Keyword Density, and Verb Ratio Mean

Optimal Word Count
One-page resume: 400–600 words is ideal. Two-page: 700–1000 words. Below 400 words: too sparse, may signal lack of experience depth. Above 700 on one page: too dense, readability suffers.
Action Verb Ratio
Count how many bullet points start with an action verb. Target: 90%+. If your verb ratio is below 70%, you have too many passive constructions ('was responsible for') reducing impact.

The Analytics panel in the builder shows: total word count, bullet count, action verb count and ratio, keyword density (top 10 most-used words), and average bullet length. Use these to benchmark and improve.
