How to get your resume to the TOP of the pile ⬆️⚡️🔋 #resume #jobsearch #careeradvice

A computer thinking that a resume is sexy is unnecessarily hilarious to me😂

My company banned the use of ATS for hiring. We had a guy we met at a trade show who was an expert in this oddball machine we had. And we were trying to convince him to join us. He straight up said no I've applied to your company several times and never get a call back. System was kicking out probably the best guy we could have ever hired.

Another tip is having the title be first and last name and not just resume… helps out a ton!

ATS is the single most fucked up thing about job searching. The idea that my resume can be automatically read and filtered out without a single human reading it, and no appeal process, just because it was in a 2 column format or something, is utterly dystopian.

Yes! You need to tweak your resume for every job. Pull up the job description and copy and paste what you can. Reword it slightly so it's not too obvious. It always works for me! If only interviewing was so simple...

Going through this right now for >1 year.. So companies are relying upon a computer to filter out good candidates... not gonna tweak my resume 200+ times. I'm so done with this process. Also- get rid of cover letters and references.

Free resumé advice from this job coach: write a "master resume" with a bullet point for every task/ responsibility at every job you ever held. (Yes, it will be looong, but doing it will shorten the actual application process.) For each job you want to apply to, copy+paste the relevant bullet points to answer each point of the job description, in the order they're listed, adding the relevant keywords as suggested.

"Yes but computers think they're delicious, sexy, and totally cool" 🤣😭

It helps to network your way into positions that are truly open. Avoid ATS at all costs.

I have always applied to smaller range companies instead of bigger corporations. It always still had the manager looking at resumes himself. It took him a lot of time every hiring season but he found more reliable help that way.

Also, make sure you emphasize and modify your résumé for each job you apply for. There are many ATS scanning softwares that scan resumes to help you modify your resume based on job descriptions and responsibilities. However, even after doing all of that, you are STILL not guaranteed an interview. You have to take into consideration competition, networking options (my least favorite), the interview itself and how well you did, and if the job is truly hiring for the position.

Better yet, copy and paste the entire job description into your resume, set the font size to the lowest possible, and match the color of that text to the background.

Nowadays, this is one of the most critical things any job seeker must know. Your resume is filtered by a program using keywords from it. No match, and you are out automatically. Thanks for this video!

Yeah, someone gave me this advice aswell, and it actually works, I have an interview tomorrow. And I've gotten about two other calls for interviews aswell. Thanks for all of your advice Erin!!

Some people make two resumes, one simple one for a computer & a more designed one for humans. ❌ Don’t fall for any advice trying to help you “beat” the ATS. ATS systems are all different, and it’s a waste of time. ✅ The best way to “beat” the ATS, in my opinion? Network & skip the resume game altogether. The best designers I know have the simplest resumes. Because the function of a resume is to convey a large amount of information in a few seconds. So always remember: ✅ keep it simple ✅ be results-oriented ✅ quantify everything ✅ use keywords ✅ tailor every resume to the role And you’ll be good to g

As someone who evaluates hundreds of resumes a week, this advice is still very helpful for us non-machines.

As someone who works in HR and uses an ATS, this is 100% accurate. Edit For all of the cranky people that think this comment is admitting I don’t do my job… I do. This does not mean a qualified person does not get hired completely, the ATS sifts people into piles based on a multitude of questions and what the applicant lists on their resume. I still get paid to sift through all of those piles and make sure I get to each person (cold calling after I review their uploaded resumes) so calm down friends. 😂

If only employers actually looked at their employees as people instead of stats...

This definitely happened to me. I applied to a job I knew I was qualified for, got a denial, but the business had GIANT now hiring flags flying over the building, so I walked in and talked to the manager and got offered the job. Those computers definitely don't replace human interaction, although it makes sense why they exist

Yaaassss ive been doing that this entire time without knowing. I was always told that it has to be short and sweet. And i just figured out that if i used the same words as in the job description it would make it so that i was exactly what they were looking for. Yayy! Makes sense now bc ive never had the problem of not being called back or interviewed. Now you validated me. Ahhh i love stranger's validation. Lol
