Enter your info to get your FREE report: 5 Simple Ways to Find Your Dream Job
Posted on June 2, 2021 under Resume
There are 2 gatekeepers standing between you and your next job.
1. HUMANS – hiring managers, HR professionals and recruiters
2. ROBOTS – the Automated Tracking System or ATS
Your resume needs to satisfy and score well with both.
This ensures your resume will make sense to the reader in the 30-60 seconds they *may* give to your work history and accomplishments.
If your resume sounds like pure nonsense because you've over analyzed and edited for keywords, they will think you're crazy, illiterate, and inexperienced.
That's when you focus on critical technical issues such as SEO keywords, margins, formatting, text, font and file type.
Your resume must pass BOTH audiences or your candidacy will end.
In this time of COVID-19, you absolutely MUST get through the ATS in order to then get in front of the decision-makers who are working remotely.
Be virtually networking through LinkedIn, Email, Text, Zoom, etc. to bypass the ATS as much as possible.
