Our Mission
Every Texas State engineering student deserves a fair shot at the job they really want. PawsedForHire makes sure a badly formatted resume or a mismatch with the job description never costs you that shot before anyone's even read it. Because before you shake hands with anyone, your resume has to complete the handshake.
Free. Always. Built by a Texas State engineer for Texas State engineers.

“The ATS doesn’t know your potential. We make sure it doesn’t stand in your way.”
— David A. Holt, B.S. Industrial Engineering ’02, M.S. Engineering Management ’26, Texas State University
How it works
Drop your PDF. Our AI reads your coursework, projects, internships, and skills — no manual entry needed. No resume yet? We'll build your first one with you, step by step.
Search across all public job boards at once. Filter by major, city, and role type. No login-gated listings. If a job doesn't show up in our search, you can add it manually from any other job board and we'll track it the same way.
See exactly how you match the job — fit score, keyword matches, real gaps, and honest strengths. No cheerleading.
One click generates an ATS-clean resume and cover letter tailored to that exact job. Ready to submit in 60 seconds.
