Pathstream’s Recommended Resume Tools

Resume Keyword Optimization Tools:

Jobscan: Jobscan can help you optimize the contents of your resume so that it is more likely to pass through an Applicant Tracking Systems (or ATS for short). An ATS analyzes resumes based on keywords to weed candidates out before their resumes reach recruiters. It is important to optimize your resume with the right keywords for the roles you are interested in, which is where JobScan can help you. When you upload your existing resume and a job description to JobScan, you will be given a match rate to see how well your resume matches a job description along with tips for how to optimize your resume to increase the likelihood that it will pass an ATS.

Emsi Skills Extractor: Emsi Skills Extractor helps you optimize your resume even more. You can input a job description, resume, or syllabus into the Skills Extractor and it will list out the top keywords from the document. You can then take these keywords and add them to your own resume where they are relevant. This will further optimize your resume and ensure that it gets past an ATS and in front of a recruiter.

Resume Formatting Tools:
