Hi all -- founder of RezScore, free automated scoring tool. Have spent about a decade studying the subject.

1. Brevity: Keep it concise, under 800 words. Every extra word is a bullet they can kill you with if they're on the fence. 2. Impact: Use a readability score (ie Fleisch-Kincaid, any built into Word) to keep the reading score equivalent of ~11th grade. They're smart but not geniuses. 3. Depth: Keep your sentences short, under 20 words per sentence is good rule of thumb. Reward their laziness.

Other useful tips... * Use a large professional headline (ie LinkedIn), swap out just this part for each job you're applying * Prune out responsibilities, only talk about achievements * Lots of numbers * Pay attention to aesthetics/formatting

Don't obsess about perfection -- devise a system to crank out 10 copies a day and you'll iterate it into a job in no time. At any rate, if you're applying resume first you're doing it wrong, everybody getting the plum jobs networks their way in, resume is a formality.

Always happy to hear about your job search and provide specific resume feedback, email us at hey AT rezscore.com

Thanks for posting! As a probable early survivor, I've been looking for ways to volunteer, hopefully this works out!

Not getting any good applications? Probably because emailing [email protected] bounced for me!

We track what we are able to practically track. So if you send your link out and I join the site through your link... then I refer a candidate, you would be eligible to receive half of my earnings for the initial referral.

As a practical matter, people are finding it confusing so we are moving to more straightforward criteria

Thank you for sharing, I like the YAML approach and we'll work on this next

Stay tuned, we talked with somebody earlier through this who has some LA jobs to add, probably next week.

@drefno, you sound super-knowledgeable on the subject so I'd love to chat with you to learn from your perspective! Please shoot me a note at [email protected]

Thank you!

One person has already reached out about posting a lot more remote jobs, so make sure to subscribe/follow the repository so you will get updated as new jobs are posted.

We've also been talking about in organizing this into a SQL-like interface, I think there could be a lot of value in job hunting in such a manner... "SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE location = 'seattle' and keyword LIKE '%python%'"

Love it! People are always telling me to "git a life" anyway
