Your languages, read the way you wrote them

  • NewNew on the blog: three posts on the job search, from how long it really takes to whether tailoring your resume works. Written from real, live job ads.

    Read the blog
  • ImprovedSherpa understands the languages on your resume in more of the ways people write them, like "Swedish (A2, actively learning)" or "Fluent in English", so every job in a language you speak stays on your list.

    A job card rated 81: the ad is in English and Swedish is only a plus, with a note to mention your Swedish level in the letter.

  • ImprovedSharper keyword checks for every kind of job: your custom resume is measured against the terms the ad itself uses.

  • ImprovedYour search runs on one clear job title, and the other titles you go by can come along as aliases.

The check-in, and title aliases
