Career Journey Companion Guide

A practical, governed way to document your real career — cleanly, truthfully, and without rewriting your past every time you need a resume.

What Career Journey Actually Does

Career Journey isn’t a resume builder.
It’s a career integrity system built to take everything you’ve done — scattered resumes, old drafts, memories, narrative descriptions, fragments — and convert it into a single confirmed record that doesn’t contradict itself.

It works by:

  • confirming your roles (company, title, dates) before anything else

  • turning stories into contribution-level bullets

  • validating those bullets for clarity and completeness

  • helping you provide real outcomes, not guesses

  • removing contradictions in dates, titles, ownership, or metrics

  • preserving every version you’ve ever written as evidence

  • exporting a clean, stable Master Resume TXT you own

Everything is rooted in truth, structure, and your actual wording.
No invention. No embellishment. No autofilled impact.

How the Process Works (User Version)

1. Confirming Your Roles

Before the system can capture a single contribution, it locks down your actual job history:

  • company name

  • job title

  • start / end dates

  • promotions

  • employment type (if stated)

Nothing moves forward until your role timeline is confirmed.
This prevents bullets from drifting into the wrong job — a core rule of the system.

2. Turning Your Stories Into Draft Contributions

You can speak naturally, type loosely, ramble, or upload old materials.
The system pulls the signals out:

  • what you did

  • how you did it

  • the context

  • the problems you solved

  • the outcomes you explicitly mention

Anything missing stays missing — the tool will never guess.
It isolates each contribution as a draft bullet written in your own voice.

3. Making Each Bullet Complete (Without Rewriting You)

Draft bullets are checked to ensure they describe a real contribution:

  • the action you took

  • the work you performed

  • how you did it (method, tool, approach)

  • the result

If a piece is missing, you get a small, targeted question — nothing leading or suggestive.
The system stays strict: no result, no complete bullet.
Incomplete bullets are preserved but marked for archive instead of inclusion.

4. Providing Real Outcomes (Your Words, Not AI’s)

When you describe a contribution but skip the outcome, the system asks only what’s needed to complete it:

  • What changed because of your work?

  • What improved?

  • What problem was reduced or prevented?

It only records what you say.
Nothing is upgraded, interpreted, or assigned extra impact.

5. Consolidating Your Past Resumes

If you upload older resumes, the system extracts every bullet as written — even the messy ones — and stores them with full provenance.

From there it:

  • groups duplicates

  • highlights conflicting versions

  • lets you pick the correct one

  • archives everything you don’t choose

Nothing is deleted.
Every trace of your history is preserved.

6. Removing Contradictions

The system surfaces inconsistencies across roles and bullets:

  • overlapping dates

  • mismatched titles

  • conflicting outcomes

  • different tools described for the same project

  • ownership conflicts (“led” vs “supported”)

It never decides for you — it simply asks which version is true.
When you confirm, the rest is archived.

7. Building Your Master Resume (The Final Artifact)

Once everything is:

  • validated

  • complete

  • contradiction-free

  • assigned to the correct role

…the system assembles your Master Resume TXT:

  • your full role history

  • your confirmed contributions

  • your validated skills and tools (extracted only from bullets you approved)

  • no rewriting

  • no reformatting

  • no added content

This file becomes your source of truth for Resume Tailor and all future applications.

How This Helps You

Career Journey gives you:

  • a clear, non-contradictory record of your real work

  • a bulletproof foundation for every resume you’ll ever need

  • a truthful dataset that Resume Tailor can tailor without risk of drift

  • clarity about your strengths, patterns, and impact

  • relief from the constant cycle of rewriting your career from scratch

It replaces résumé anxiety with structure, certainty, and truth.

Saving Your Progress

Career Journey doesn’t store anything automatically.
Everything lives in a simple .txt file on your computer:

  • save often

  • upload your file to continue

  • nothing exists unless you save it

This keeps your history private and entirely under your control.

Quick Start — What to Upload

You only need three kinds of inputs:

1. Something that shows where you’ve worked

Resume, LinkedIn export, or a simple job list.
This sets your timeline.

2. Something that shows what you actually did

Screenshots, notes, old docs, or memory fragments.

3. Something that sounds like you

A small reflection, a message you wrote, or any piece of narrative.

The system does the organizing — you just bring the pieces.
