Your accomplishment bank

Tailoring can only work with what you have given it.

Your master resume is one compressed snapshot of your career — a page or two, edited down over years to fit. Everything that did not fit is still true, and still the thing that might win you a particular role. A tailored draft cannot reach for a result it has never been shown.

The accomplishment bank is where the rest of your record lives. It feeds tailoring alongside your master resume, and it is subject to the same provenance rule: a figure may only appear in a tailored draft if it appears here or in your master, verbatim.

Why this changes the output

A posting asks for capital-equipment procurement. Your standing resume leads with software and services, because that is what your last three roles were about — so a tailored draft leads there too, and reads slightly beside the point.

If the bank holds the equipment-financing result from six years ago, the draft can lead with that instead. Same career, same truth, better aimed. The difference is not the wording; it is whether the fact was in the room.

This is also why the gap list beside a finished draft is worth reading. Each gap is either something to add to the bank, or an honest reason this role is not for you.

Import from LinkedIn

Your LinkedIn profile usually holds far more than your resume: the description you wrote for each role, at the time, before it was edited down.

1. In LinkedIn, go to Settings → Data privacy → Get a copy of your data.
2. Choose the full archive rather than a specific file. LinkedIn splits exports, and only the full archive contains your positions.
3. LinkedIn emails you a zip, usually within a few minutes to a day.
4. In Jobably, go to Profile → Accomplishment bank → Import from LinkedIn and upload the zip, unmodified.

Jobably reads the role descriptions and adds them as accomplishments.

Nothing is replaced. Entries are added to what you already have, duplicates are skipped, and you are told how many came in, how many roles had no description to learn from, and whether anything was dropped at the 1,000-entry limit.

What it does and does not read

It reads your positions — company, title, dates, and the description you wrote. It also reads your headline, if present.

It does not read your connections, messages, or anything else in the archive. Skills and endorsements are deliberately skipped: a skill name on its own is not an accomplishment, and adding bare terms to the bank would weaken exactly the guard that keeps tailored drafts honest.

If you would rather not export

The bank is a plain list. You can paste into it directly on the same page — one accomplishment per line, with the real figures. Old resumes, performance reviews and project write-ups are all good sources.

Writing good entries

• Keep the numbers exact. $4.8M, 20%, 1,300+ suppliers. Figures are what tailoring can never invent, so an entry without them is weaker.
• One accomplishment per line. A paragraph covering three results is harder to select from than three lines.
• Include the ones you have moved on from. The point of the bank is the work that no longer fits your resume but still fits some job.
