The practicality of building a resume is not only for young adults graduating from college. Being able to efficiently and cohesively compile your personal and professional experiences into a document to apply for jobs or professional development opportunities is an art that still applies to many adults well into their professional careers. A resume is not designed to list every single skill and experience that you have, but instead to help you obtain a job interview. You can do this by highlighting your skills, strengths, and personal experiences.

This software will organize and rank resumes based on key words and phrases, in turn, gathering resumes of applicants most relevant to the job search.
