“Cool tool”

Mark P.
11/13/20

It was eye opening to look at job descriptions more strategically. I ended up getting a job outside of the traditional application process, but I'm confident that I would have made some good traction using Jobscan.

Useful insights, advises and resume feedback. It helped me to get a job! Very easy to use and very clear outcomes - highly recommended for anyone who is job hunting. I regret I didn't know about this great tool earlier.

UPDATE - I realized I made a mistake when I originally uploaded my resume. I didn't include a job description, I uploaded a link only and it gave me a false low score. I didn't realize I changed it when I signed up. The tool is helpful in pointing out how to tweak your resume. Before I started I was a 60-70% match and after I was a 90%+ match with a few short tweaks. If you use it right, it will save you a lot of time.

The product is a little bit buggy - When you report certain skills they don't drop off your scan. Not every thing it lists as missing is relevant. You have to go through it one by one and compare it to the job description to be able to make a decision:
1. Report the skill
2. Update your resume
3. Ignore

I will not renew but it is good to get you started.

It's a clunky first shot at doing something to help job seekers. There is so much automation it could do to make job seeking much easier. Hopefully it will head that way and make the tool worth the price.

Recently subscribed to service and am very pleased. This is exactly what artificial intelligence should do. Thousands of comparisons of words and objective scoring to tell you how to improve.

The cover letter writer has been giving me nearly perfect suggestions that require almost no edit before submitting. I simply make them a little shorter and copy, paste, and submit!

Jobscan provides helpful, detailed insights, which is critical for your resume and cover letter to be ATS optimised. It was easy to use, and I greatly improved my CV and cover letter according to its recommendations. It gives you a multifaceted view beyond just the wording or phrases check, so I still had a lot of flexibility to adjust my documents to fit my voice.
