How does my resume get detected?
Word scans for patterns in the documents you open, to determine if the document is likely to be a resume–similar to how grammar checking works. If you consent to use Resume assistant, then pattern-matched content from your resume is used to tailor the results in the Resume Assistant pane. For example, a job title and a location name allow for tailored job results. This is used only to enhance the Resume Assistant experience; Microsoft does not collect any personal information.
Public profiles
The work experience examples in Resume Assistant are drawn from public profiles on LinkedIn, and they’re based on the roles and industries you choose, so you get ideas on how to tailor your descriptions. Remember, the descriptions are examples only. Your resume reflects you, not someone else.
Because Resume Assistant is showing you public profiles, you only see the experience and skill descriptions, not who they belong to. If you have a LinkedIn account, the information you share in your public profile is available to be shown in Resume Assistant, but you can go to your privacy settings to opt-out.
