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).

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.
