I was doing all this by hand...having a new resume for every single job that I found. Teal will save me so much energy. such a life saver.
WOO!! That's super awesome to hear. Really glad the tools are helping!
Thank you so much for uploading this video I am currently using the Teal resume builder to build my resume!! I am so thankful because I have been making multiple resumes that has become exhausting! This is such a time saver!!!
So glad we're able to help!!! Thanks for the feedback-always open to suggestions of what other content would be helpful as you go about your search. Best of luck!
Thank you for this walkthrough. Cleared a lot of doubts. Thanks!
I have been applying for a while, and in that time, I have been thinking of building something like this. Thank God someone already did. This is a lifesaver!
So glad we’re able to help. Rooting for you!
One of the best apps I have used for anything! Thank you. It saves me so much time that I would have spent changing my resume over and over again.
Thank you so much for the kind words! This means a ton. Passing along your feedback to the team. All the best with your search!
The world would be better if most people were like you: so generous with your information - Thank you!
Thank you so much! We're really proud of how much information we can provide, especially on our free version.
This is incredible. Would have benefited my entire career if I had something like this while job hunting years ago. Better late than never! Very underrated product you have here.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Here if you ever need us down the line! 🙌
Thank you so much for making it so easy to see the benefit of upgrading to Premium. I'm in!
Appreciate the feedback! So glad this was helpful. See ya on Teal+! 💥
Such a great video! Inspired me to do more to fine tune my resume and skills. Thank you!
That's so great to hear! It's absolutely worth that extra time investment to start getting better results.
Thank you so much ,This is very helpful. please make video for freshers also
Excelent tool.... This expedite all the things I had to do manually in the old days... Keep up the good work!!
I will recommend this tool for sure to my collegues and friends
Thanks so much, David! Means a ton! Feedback always welcome.
You are amazing! Giving so much free information is so generous. I plan to upgrade. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
We really appreciate it! Very glad you're finding value in the base plan and we're excited you're taking the steps for Teal+ and really boosting your resume.
This is great. I love this. Very helpful. My question is how do I link the Job description to Teal?
Please add the feature to group skills and custom arrange skills soon. Right now Teal is looking perfect for me except the skills section which is unfortunately seeming like a deal-breaker
Also, right now its splitting the responsibilities of a job between different pages if its not able to fit in the same page. I also would like to control whether it gets split up or whether i can move the content to next page etc
Thanks so much for the feedback, Ravindra! New skills features are coming soon; hope you'll stay tuned!
Loving Teal - can you tell us how to import our LinkedIn contacts once we've downloaded the raw data from LinkedIn?
Hi there! Unfortunately there's no way to directly import your LinkedIn contacts, but you can save as many as you'd like using the Chrome extension to your Contacts Tracker!
Is the revamped skills section up yet? We need grouping and better arrange this section because eventually a human is going to read it (hopefully)
Yes it is! Options for better arrangement and also skill "categories" are live.
Say I have no certification yet. Do i have to include that section? Or how can I opt out of certification section from showing up in my actual rendered resume?
Thanks
No you can totally opt out of any section you don't actually have an item for!
anyone know what the difference between overall score and match score? do they both need to be high? example I will have a match score of 76% but my overall score is 45%.
I want to make a change to one resume for one job application, but it's telling me it will make universal changes to all my resumes. Not sure how to turn that off.
Hello, thanks for the video and such amazing and handy cvBuilder !!!
I have a question:
I finished a task, and I have a journal related to this task, and I immediately want to share the its link at ''add an achievement'' under ''work experience'' field.
However, it doesn't allow me to start a new line, share a link, or even bold the link address.
Is there any way to do this?
If the link is related to the journal I would add that in the projects section of the resume builder since that does let you do what you're looking for. We generally don't recommend links or styling options like bolding in your work achievements.
Thank you, I purchased the pro version. Is there a way to add a Projects section?
Coming soon! Our team's working on it as we speak!
@@teal_hq great about how long do you think till it gets implemented? I'm going to cancel my membership and renew it then
@@LA-pq1ey 30-60 days. We’re doing a big refactor to the resume backend and this is the next things we’re doing. We’ll make sure to announce it in the weekly newsletter
@@davefano So excited to roll it out! ✨ You can subscribe to the newsletter here: tealhq.com/newsletter
Hi there! Excited to report the Projects section is now live! Hope it's helpful!
Hi. How to add references input?
Hi there! We don't recommend adding references to your resume, so no option here to do so. :)
Are the resumes finally generated and exported by Teal or Teal+ - ATS recognizable?
Hi there! Yep, all of our resumes should be able to be parsed easily by an ATS.
Hello, I tried to contact your customer service but in vain. May I know how can I contact you for a product issue?
Hi there! So sorry to hear it. Our member support team is online Monday through Friday; please feel free to email membersupport@tealhq.com and we'll be in touch!
How do i get dates to appear on work experience section? It just won't appear for me despite clicking on the check box
Hmm - that definitely seems like a bug. Try changing around some of the settings in the design tab for how the date is shown and if it still isn't working email in to membersupport@tealhq.com and we'll get you taken care of!
EDIT: Another thing to try to making sure your browser is all up to take, and try clearing your browser cache as well.
Can a summary have bullet points rather than a paragraph style?
Yes, totally! There are those formatting options built right into Teal for the Professional Summary section!
@Teal - most recruiters and resume writers recommend *not* using a Professional Summary. It's easy to turn that off in Resume Builder, but that still knocks down the percentage on the Analysis tab. Is there a way to get the Analysis to ignore Professional Summary if it is marked to not include on the resume?
We've seen the opinion on professional summaries really varies for sure - our recommendation is to include once since a recruiter can just choose not to read it vs not having it and a recruiter ended up wanting to read one.
Currently there's not a way to ignore items in analysis mode, but if your overall score is good with it then you can make your own call from there to remove it or not. Having a lower overall score isn't a bad thing if it was your own decision to ignore the advice. We just recommend making sure all the important job description keywords make it to other parts of your resume.
I didn't get the button to upload my resume when I clicked on resume builder.
Oh no, that doesn't sound right! Could you reach out to us at membersupport@tealhq.com so we can look into what is happening?
How to add reference???
Hi there! We don’t recommend adding references to your resume so don’t offer the option to do so. More context here in case this helps: www.tealhq.com/post/how-to-list-references-on-a-resume
Some employers want the resume in Word. Is that possible to do in Teal?
We're currently working on the ability to export in Word, but there's virtually no difference between the two when uploading into systems - unless you have eccentric formatting which can get jumbled with Word docs.
@@teal_hq I prefer sending resumes in pdf, but recruiters request them in Word so I was just checking. Thanks.
@@user-qh8uo4zg7g We're actually working on this presently! Stay tuned. Typically there's no difference on Word vs PDF other than Word being editable and the ability for design formats to get skewed when uploaded to ATS.
@@user-qh8uo4zg7g Good to know! Thank you!
@@teal_hq will all ATS softwares detect PDFs well?
Is it safe or not
Safe in what way?
In order to unlock key words, we are to upgrade but how do tech companies/ tech products expect unemployed people to pay for these when they are looking for work and no funds? Epitome of capitalism.
Hey there! We noticed you commented similarly on another video where we addressed your concerns. The product can be used in its entirety for free without needing to upgrade, but for those who wish to invest in unlimited use of AI generation, we do have a subscription that can be canceled at any time. While still cheaper than other platforms, Teal allows you to own your job search and resume creation. To continue to provide free resources for job seekers, we do have a subscription for those who wish to invest.
Any employer watching this?
