Resume Mapper - The Must Have Tool for Job Seekers in the Digital Age

Printer-friendly versionPDF version

The first person to read your resume will not be a person. An Applicant Tracking system (ATS) Program must select you before a human will ever read your resume. If you have submitted ten resumes and have not been contacted for an interview, your resume is not matching the job descriptions of the positions for which you are applying.

Resume Mapper solves that problem for you by making sure your resume and cover letter map to each job description. Using Resume Mapper you can update your resume and cover letter to match each job application in minutes instead of hours or days.

The first person to read your resume will not be a person. It will be an ATS software program.

If the ATS program rejects your resume, it will NEVER be read by a real person.

Hiring Managers and Human Resource Managers are under tremendous pressure to hire only those candidates that meet very specific criteria. To hire someone that does not have the specific skills required to perform at a high level puts their jobs in jeopardy.

Hiring Managers cannot afford to hire someone that lacks the required skills, qualifications, and experience when there are so many applicants available. Increasingly, human resource departments have come to rely on automated applicant screening tools to select the most qualified candidates.

The Resume Mapper application enables you to map the contents of a resume and cover letter to the requirements of a Job Description. Ensuring that a resume will be recognized by the resume screening software used by human resource department personnel and hiring managers to pick the candidates that will be considered for open positions.

The Resume Mapper application user interface provides easy access to the features and functions of this powerful tool allowing you to create resumes and cover letters that match the requirements of a job description in a minimum amount of time. Dramatically increase the number of jobs that you apply for and dramatically decrease the time spent updating your resume for each job application. Making sure that the information a resume and cover letter map to each job description will increase the number of responses and interview requests received.

The Resume Mapper application features five tabs.

Job Description Tab
The Job Description tab provides a space for the prospective employer’s description of the job.

Current Resume Tab
The Current Resume tab provides a space for your resume.

Current Cover Letter Tab
The Current Cover Letter tab provides a space for your cover letter.

Enter a job description, resume, and cover letter in the Job Description, Current Resume, and Current Cover Letter tab fields by typing the text directly into the field, loading the text from a file on your computer, copy and paste the text from another application or word processor, or loading the file from a web page on the Internet.

Evaluation and Mapping Tab
The Evaluation and Mapping tab provides a detailed report of each Resume Mapper evaluation and mapping.

Repair Kit Tab
The Repair Kit tab highlights all important words and phases in the job description that are not in the resume and cover letter. It provides tools to customize the mapping criteria, expand the mapping to include additional text, update the content of the resume and cover letter, and re-map the job application project.

It’s that easy to increase your chances for success and ensure that your resume is not instantly rejected for the lack of just a couple of words.
