The world of HR and employment has changed. I am a highly skilled professional and was surprised at the difficulty I had getting responses to my CV, let alone to interview stage.
Doing my research, I soon worked out that may larger and more reputable companies don't leave candidate selection to "people" anymore. They have autobots that parse your CV to text and run it through software. If the computer doesn't see you as a match, then a person will never get to read your CV. That's the unfortunate truth.
I am so thankful that I found Jobscan. Using Jobscan, I was able to understand how to re-work my CV and applications to improve my candidacy and therefore my likelihood of finding a new job faster.
Yes, it worked! I've found a great job - well, the job actually found me - through Jobscan's help. The most significant change it today's market is how jobs and people are connected. Don't just think of Jobscan when applying for jobs. You can use it to check and improve your LinkedIn profile. Think about your skills, use Jobscan to compare your candidacy with "ideal" job ads. Then, when you have your CV refined, reflect it on LinkedIn. This is so important, as it is how employers and recruiters look for you and validate your skills through your connections.
So, don't think of Jobscan as a tool only for seeking a new job. Using it to keep your profile up to date will significantly improve your online image.
