Research assets are published methodology-first. Findings are added only when a defined source set supports them.

Research frameworks

• Resume Evidence Research Framework — A reproducible framework for studying resume sections, evidence density, achievement language and document structure without inventing a dataset.
• Job Description Pattern Research Framework — A source-controlled method for studying recurring skills, requirements, seniority language and work-model signals in real job descriptions.
• Salary Research & Compensation Methodology — A transparent framework for comparing compensation sources while preserving geography, level, date and package assumptions.
• Career Transition Research Framework — A framework for mapping skills, evidence and role adjacency during career changes without claiming that every transition follows a fixed path.
• Interview Trends Research Framework — A framework for studying interview formats, question themes and preparation patterns from dated, attributable sources.
• LinkedIn Profile Research Framework — A privacy-conscious method for studying publicly observable profile structures without scraping private information or inferring personal attributes.
• OnlineResumeBuilder Research Quality Protocol — The shared quality-control protocol used to decide whether a career research finding is ready to publish.

Planned reports

• Resume Trends Report — A planned recurring report on resume structure, skills, achievement language and formatting. Results are published only after a defined source set is actually collected and analyzed.
• Skills Demand Report — A planned report on recurring skills in a defined sample of job descriptions, with role, geography and collection dates stated for every edition.
• Career Change Report — A planned report on documented career-transition patterns using explicit role mappings and evidence rules rather than unsupported success claims.
• Interview Trends Report — A planned report on interview formats and question themes from attributable, dated sources. Anecdotes are not presented as prevalence data.
• LinkedIn Profile Trends — A planned report on public profile structure and professional-branding patterns using privacy-conscious aggregation.
• Salary Research Report — A planned compensation report that preserves source date, geography, level and package assumptions instead of combining incompatible salary figures.

Research quality rules

Every material finding should identify its population, source, observation date, methodology and limitations. The site does not publish fabricated statistics or imply that a methodology is itself evidence.
