Hello Denisonians,
Let’s be honest, crafting the perfect resume can be tricky. Whether you’re applying for your first internship or a competitive summer role, you want your application to stand out. But how do you know if your resume is saying the right things, using the right keywords, or even getting past the company’s online filters?
That’s where Jobscan comes in.
What is Jobscan? Jobscan is a smart, easy-to-use online tool that helps you tailor your resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile to specific job descriptions. It’s designed to show you how your resume stacks up against real job postings, and how to improve it.
How It Works: Jobscan scans your resume and the job description side-by-side, just like an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) would. It then generates a report showing:
- Which keywords you’re missing
- How well your experiences match the job requirements
- How to optimize your resume format for ATS compatibility
Why It’s Helpful for Students: If you’re not sure how to frame your experiences or you’re struggling to land interviews, Jobscan takes the guesswork out of resume writing. It gives you clear, actionable suggestions so you can confidently submit an application that’s targeted and professional.
Pro Tip: Use Jobscan early in your application process, not just before you hit submit. It’s an excellent way to adjust your resume before applying, especially when you’re applying to multiple roles in different industries.
