Until it is recorded, the written steps below are complete on their own.
Steps
- From Matches, use Tailor for a posting you found.
- Paste the full text of the posting into the field provided. Include the responsibilities and the requirements, not only the title.
- Submit the posting. TraceScout scores it against your attested resume the same way it scores a match.
- Read the score, the strengths and the gaps for that posting.
- Continue to Tailor my resume for this role if you decide to apply.
Worth knowing
- Paste the posting text itself. A short description or a bare link does not give enough to score against.
- A supplied posting is treated as a real posting for scoring and tailoring, and it appears alongside your other work.
