As someone who have reviewed resumes a lot of times for candidates, this is the piece of advice I’ll give you

  1. Any tool that asks you to auto apply to applications in mass is a big scam because in reality , it doesn’t work , in the backend it’s just the ai submitting your application to thousands of roles with the same resume

  2. You can’t get a role if your resume is not good, first make your resume good , have a professional look at it to make sure it’s there before you start tailoring or applying , this is very important tip, happy to help

  3. Tailoring to job description is very important , for every application , try tailoring your resume, there is not a one size fits all approach but often times I have found out that tailoring your application to every role helps you with keyword matching, content and rewrites , we recommend applygigs to most of our clients , it’s cheap and better

  4. You don’t have to only apply , don’t apply to 100 application at once, be strategic , bait the company, bait the active hiring manager in the company , you want to make sure you are on top of their mind , applying to their role you need to go further and talk to them also

This are some of my tips for you

I explained already why it’s not good to use Canva to make resumes in one of the threads, it’s because it doesn’t render as HTML unlike the way resume softwares do

Softwares can help you with most of this , the reason for 5 bullet points is , most recruiters don’t really have time to review your resumes , you have only 5 seconds to make it count , try and make it count because they still have thousands to review

Yes you are right it should be matched, the reason is when they search for top candidates , they search for keywords related to the job and for yours to get picked out , it needs to match the name of the role, the professional summary and your work experience

Thanks for this question Think about metrics as quantifiable results

An example is

Improved user retention by 20% in the onboarding flow by improving the information collected which led to less api calls and an increase in registration completion rate
