Jobscan Helps Get Your Resume Through Computer Scans

Applicant screening software  may be all that's  standing in the way  between you and a job interview. To get past it, need to make sure your resume has all the relevant keywords matching the job description. That's where Jobscan comes in. Paste your resume into one text box and the job description in another, and the webapp will show you how well your resume matches. You'll also find how many times certain skills are mentioned—so you can prioritize those skills on your resume. You could also  use a tag cloud for this purpose , but Jobscan makes the comparison easy, especially when you're tailoring your resume to each specific job (as you should). While you're at it, don't forget to  format your resume  so it doesn't get trapped by the software. Jobscan
