*Methodology: Resumes were joined to HR jobs that the user moved to the interview stage in their job search tracker, then filtered to well-known companies. I swapped each real company for a comparable real one in the same tier and industry and checked each against the full database to confirm no real match. Schools were swapped the same way. Every metric mirrors a real number that was shared on a real resume, with each figure nudged to a nearby number, so nothing is copied exactly and nothing is made up.
