## ShipRadar verdict

Jobscan scores your resume against a job ad. Use it to catch missing skills, not to chase the number: users say copying the ad's words is enough to raise it.

- Best for: Spotting a skill from the job ad that you have but forgot to mention.
- Not great for: Chasing a high match score. It rewards copying the ad's wording.
- Watch out: One r/jobmarket user went from 41% to 79% by pasting the job title and skill list in, with no change to their real experience.
