If you’re looking for a job, you’re likely strategizing your cover letters, creating resumes, seeking letters of recommendation, and sprucing up your portfolios.

Do you need help with putting things together online? You can use Google to not only create winning resumes and cover letters, but also use extensions to make the process easier!

Here are some great Google extensions that can help you with your job applications.

1. Jobalytics

Jobalytics helps you figure out how your resume stacks up with keywords and job postings so you can get your application past resume applicant tracking systems (ATSs). This tool delivers keyword ideas, job postings, and job-resume match scores, allowing you to not only get the resume help you need, but save you time on finding the perfect opportunity. 

2. Wordtune 

If your resume writing skills are not up to par, Wordtune is a great tool to use. It helps you improve your resume content by showing you issues, such as redundancies and clichés, grammatical mistakes, and much more. 

3. Thesaurus

When it comes to resume writing, it can be tough to come up with descriptions that stand out to employers. If you want to craft eye-catching and compelling ways to frame your work experience, check out Thesaurus. This tool helps you find new words by offering synonyms for words that you’re overusing in your resume.

4. Huntr

Job hunting can get overwhelming. Huntr is a Google extension that helps you collect, track, and manage opportunities you’re investigating by providing a simplified dashboard to streamline and organize your online job search.

5. Grammar and Spell Checker
