Short answer: pick Jobscan to check one resume against one job, Teal to build resumes and track jobs you save, Huntr to track applications on a board, Simplify to autofill forms fast, and RoleNavigator to have jobs found and scored against your resume.

An illustration of six people along one long table, each with a different simple tool in front of them: a notebook, a cup, a stack of cards, a phone, a printed page and a laptop, chatting and comparing.
