JOBSCAN Resume Tool
JOBSCAN is another tool for your applicant tool bag that allows you to get a sense of how well your tailored resume aligns with a specific job description.
Today, such tools are important because they allow you to optimize your resume for a specific job. Optimization should matter to you because most resumes collected online go through an automated applicant tracking system (ATS) that uses algorithms to rack and stack resumes based on alignment to the advertised human capital need. If you can’t get through this initial filtering process you’ll never get to the hiring manager.
You get five free pulls from JOBSCAN a month; to try it click here.
