You’ve spent hours tweaking your résumé for every job, and still, no responses. It’s frustrating, exhausting, and makes you wonder: what are you missing?
Before your application reaches a hiring manager, it usually passes through an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), software that helps employers organize and filter résumés. In fact, over 98% of Fortune 500 companies use an ATS to manage applications (Jobscan, 2025).
If your résumé doesn’t include the same keywords or phrasing that appear in the job description, the system might not recognize your qualifications. Fortunately, there’s a simple way to fix that.
That’s where Jobscan comes in! It uses AI to mimic how ATS software scans résumés, helping you optimize your résumé, so your skills and qualifications get noticed.
Here’s how it works:
- Upload your résumé.
- Paste in a job description.
- Jobscan instantly compares the two, showing which skills and keywords you might be missing.
Instead of guessing what employers want, Jobscan gives you clear, data-driven insights so you can instantly update your résumé to better match the jobs you want.
💡WGU Career Tip:
Don’t treat Jobscan like a test—it’s not about hitting 100%. Aim for around 75% on your scan score. That means your résumé is well-tailored while still sounding like you.
