My job hunting agent emails me new postings every day, with fit notes

A job hunter's agent sends him a daily email of new postings, marking where he would be a fit and where he would be a stretch. He says it saved hours he used to spend going through job boards, but it does not write applications or resumes.

How it works

  1. Agent watches job boards for new postings
  2. It checks each posting against his background
  3. It notes fit or stretch
  4. It emails him the list every day
  5. He writes the applications himself

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent reads new postings against his background and tells him plainly which ones are a stretch, not just a fit.
