Jobscan is an excellent tool and I recommend it to everyone. I started with the free version and upgraded to the 3-month subscription so I could run unlimited scans. It is worth every penny.I'm a technical writer with 20+ years of experience writing resumes. Before using Jobscan, I thought my resume was in good shape.However, when I ran my resume through Jobscan, I was surprised to find only a 44% match to the job description.Following Jobscan's advice, I got rid of tables, simplified the format and font, and changed keywords. Diligently using Jobscan to optimize keywords, I usually achieved a 60% - 74% match, while retaining my real job experience.I agree with the other reviewer who said don't go overboard and try to match too many keywords or you risk turning your resume into gibberish that does not reflect your real skills. It was fairly easy to achieve a 60% match. I found it was impossible to get to an 80% match (as Jobscan recommended) without plagiarizing the job description, which I refused to do.Jobscan does not tell users this, but I noticed that many applicant tracking systems (ATS) - especially Workday -completely ignore the Summary section of a resume, which many people have at the top. As a workaround, I put the Summary section under the Work Experience heading, with "Summary" in place of the employer's name. That worked.I also took my reworked resume and pasted it into my LinkedIn profile and received numerous recruiter contacts every single day.
