Your resume map: career paths drawn from your resume.
Rezoom’s Career Map is a resume map: it reads your resume and maps the roles you can move into next: adjacent roles, stretch targets and lateral moves, each with its salary range, your matching skills and the gaps to close. Built on your real experience, not a personality quiz.
Sample resume map for a marketing coordinator. Yours is drawn from your own resume.
Resume map, explained
What is a resume map? A map of where your resume can go.
A resume map is a visual map of the jobs your experience can lead to, drawn from the resume itself. Rezoom’s Resume Map, also called Career Map, puts your current role in the middle and connects it to adjacent roles, stretch targets and lateral moves, with the skill gaps for each.
This page: a map of your next roles
Resume Map reads your titles, skills and results and shows the jobs they connect to. Use it when you’re asking “what jobs can I do with my resume?” or weighing a career change, then tailor your resume for the role you pick.
Looking for a mind-map resume?
Some people use “resume map” for a resume laid out as a mind map. It can look striking, but applicant tracking systems read text in order, so diagram layouts often come out scrambled. See what the software reads with the free ATS resume checker, or start from an ATS-friendly resume template.

What goes into your resume map.
A few short prompts. Most of the answer is already in your resume.

Goals, location and preferences
Short prompts about where you want to go and how you want to work.
Target industry, role and seniority
Point the map at the industry, the kind of role and the level you have in mind.
What matters most
Growth, compensation, flexibility or a career change. Say which one counts most for you right now.
Your options
Three kinds of next move, on one career map.
Career advice often points one way: up. Your resume map also shows the moves beside you and the bigger leaps worth planning for.
Adjacent roles
Roles close to what you do today. Most of the skills are already on your resume.
Stretch targets
A bigger step up. Your map shows the skills to build first and what employers will expect.
Lateral moves
A different function at a similar level, where your skills carry over. A career change without starting from zero.
Outputs

A resume map is a visual map of the roles your experience can lead to, built from your resume. Rezoom’s Resume Map (also called Career Map) reads your resume and your goals, then draws adjacent roles, stretch targets and lateral moves, each with a typical salary range, employer expectations and your skill gaps. Some people also use the term for a mind-map style resume layout; that’s a different thing.
What jobs can I do with my resume?
Start with adjacent roles that use most of the skills already on your resume, then look at lateral moves into a different function and stretch targets one step up. Resume Map lists all three from your own resume, with the skills you have and the skills to build for each.
How is a resume map different from a career quiz?
It starts from your resume, not from how you describe yourself. Instead of sorting you into a personality type, it reads your real titles, skills and results and shows the specific roles they can lead to.
What do I need to get started?
Your resume in Rezoom, uploaded or connected. Then answer short prompts about your goals, location and preferences, choose a target industry, role and seniority, and say what matters most: growth, compensation, flexibility or a career change. No resume in Rezoom yet? Import your PDF resume or your LinkedIn profile first.
What are adjacent roles, stretch targets and lateral moves?
Adjacent roles sit close to the job you have now. Stretch targets are bigger steps up that need a few more skills. Lateral moves are roles in a different function at a similar level, where much of your experience carries over.
Does Resume Map show salaries?
Yes. Every role on your map shows a typical salary range next to what employers expect, so you can weigh pay alongside the work itself. Treat it as a guide when you plan a move, not a job offer.
Can a resume map help me change careers?
Yes. Say a career change matters most and add your target industry. Lateral moves point to roles where your skills carry over, each with the skills to build before you apply. Our career guides cover the rest of the switch.
Is a resume map the same as a mind-map resume template?
No. A mind-map resume is a layout for the resume itself; Rezoom’s Resume Map is a career map built from your resume. If you send a resume, keep the layout simple: applicant tracking systems read text in order, and diagram layouts often come out scrambled. ATS-friendly templates avoid that.
