SkillSyncer
The Skillsyncer website lets you upload or paste in your resume and a job description and lets you see how well your resume would do with Applicant Tracking Software for that job. It’s an important tool to help you beat the resume bots and get your application seen by a human being.
Getting Started
If you’re only going to scan one or two resumes, you should use the free version, which gives you one scan per week. But if you’re going to be scanning your resume and comparing it to many different jobs, you’ll want to sign up for paid premium access. Skillsyncer offers a free year of premium access to anyone with a .edu email address.
ArtCenter alumni can request an @alumni.artcenter.edu email address from the AlumNetwork at alumni@artcenter.edu.
Scanning Your Resume
Skillsyncer scans your resume for keywords that appear in the job description you included, and lets you see those keywords.
See how your resume matches
The next step is to read your report and see how your resume would do against ATS software.
Edit your resume
See the effect changes to your resume would have on your match score by editing inside SkillSyncer (Premium access only).
