  8. What is this Algorithm Anyway? • The Work Forward difference is our ability to match job seekers with hiring organizations • The algorithm works by collecting key skills from job seekers and matches them with skills employers mark as necessary for the position

  9. Work Experience The algorithm will pull the duration from your profile and use that data to match you with the years of experience employers require in their job posts.

  10. Academic Experience • Some employers have education requirements tied to their job posting; for those that do the algorithm will use this section to match with those jobs.

  11. Your Skills • The way to ensure that you receive the best matches is to be strategic about the skills you identify in your profile

  12. Tips and Best Practices • Profile vs. Resume • Profile Picture • Using the Search Function • Sign, Sealed, Delivered: Follow Up on Applications! • Video resumes? Yes please!
