I wont lie Jobscan is expensive as sin. At $80 a month it had to do a LOT to be worth keeping it around, especially in this economy. So when to my complete surprise I had a job offer before the 2 week free trial was out, its fair to say I was utterly shocked. Their system does a fantastic job of handling the obtuse tense requirements of ATS software keyword scanners. What I got the most mileage out of though, where the automated prompts about phrasing the key words found in the job post. The prompts were to the point and weren't too obviously AI generated like a lot of writing. I would still recommend rewriting them in your own words but they really help to get an idea of how to phrase what you have done in the most marketable manner possible.

Don't waste your time on the cover letter system though, its utterly useless and you really need to write a proper one yourself. A true solid cover letter is a full page not a single paragraph of the most obviously auto generated text ever put to paper. The system tries to take in your resume, match it to the prompt but it comes out soulless because frankly it IS. A cover letter is where you talk about why you truly CARE about what you do and the empty writing their AI puts out for these is glaringly obvious.

"Man dude why are you bashing a system you just gave 5 stars?" Because I am honest, to a fault and for the premium they are charging not making a big deal of its issues AND its features is negligent on my part.

In summary: JobScan is clearly a premium product that has fully delivered on its promise of a robust and technically sound resume builder with flying covers. While its secondary features like the cover letter builder leave much to be desired, its flagship features more than justify the giant price tag.

Overall I would rate the product a 90/100 would buy review. Should they lower the price or fix the cover letter system to be as sturdy as their resume system sometime in the future ignore any and all complaints I have made, throw your credit card at their face, and don't look back.

I appreciate the scoring but I don't feel like I'm getting good feedback on what needs to be improved.

Automated tool that helps you optimize your resume far more cheaply, quickly, and effectively than a resume writing service.

While I don't understand all the criteria that comes through in the scan report it is helpful towards understanding how a system reacts to a resume.

It doesn't always find exact word matches in my resume. It flags words like Sales and Marketing because it's not Sales And Marketing or Sales & Marketing.

Jobscan is having more technical errors than it used to, I feel like the results are less reliable than they have been in the past.
