Use Your Résumé to Find and Apply for Jobs

Overview

Using your online résumé to search for and apply to jobs has several advantages that can make your job hunt more efficient and effective. The system scans your résumé for skills, titles, and experience to recommend relevant jobs so you get tailored suggestions instead of sifting through thousands of irrelevant postings. Your résumé can then be used to apply to those jobs.
