Where are you starting from?
Two things decide what Rung asks you: where you are right now, and the job you are heading for. Choose where you are and the questions start there.
- 9
- situations, each asking something different
- 918
- jobs they can each aim at
- 0
- accounts, at any point
Every situation changes what gets asked and what the resume leads with. The occupation data is from the US Department of Labor.

Where these numbers come from
What Rung asks here is set by its own journey configuration, published in this repository. What the work involves comes from O*NET 30.3, the US Department of Labor's occupation database, refreshed July 2026. Pay and headcount come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS release for 2025.
