Build the perfect optimized resume for ATS: bit.ly/TCFPerfectResume

@stephanieblack6354 3 года назад

It’s actually infuriating that I need to “dumb down” my resume because a computer automatically throws out 75% of people that apply.... Who are probably more qualified then the 25% it pics out because those people know how to cheat a computer, rather than the rest who are actually qualified but just have a resume that a computer Program deemed unworthy

@angelines29 3 года назад

@SatanSpawn96 Год назад

No but seriously. HR is a useless field. Have never been to an HR screening where the interviewer knew enough to be evaluating me as a candidate. Pointless bureaucrats.

@monikabarcikowska6793 Год назад

Agree. Then add another 3 or 4 stages of recruitment such as mental agility test or a phone/video interview. And even if you already have a perfect CV, then you have to write everything again on each website... Plus the cover letter.

@androidphone6972 Год назад

I paid a fiverr gig 100$ to create a resume and they ended up heavy with information stuffed into columns and tables. I have sent out 1000s of resumes and received 3-4 calls, meaning the ATS was playing dirty probably. Damn, my time got wasted 😮

@pierreberleur2040 Месяц назад

me too: I keep on hearing or reading contradictory advice - like only list hard skills in resumes and keep the soft skills for the cover letter with explanation - and also spent 30$ a month in a dummy robot that is suppose to help me figure out which key words I should add to my resume... damn, my resume is my story, take it or leave it ! I only apply to perfect matches 'dutywise', checking all the boxes in their must haves, but it's never enough ! "only the candidates selected for interview will be contacted", so all the other ones can have to guess how in the world they got ignored, what was missing in their application or any such feedback from anyone

@roberthague396 2 года назад

NOT a fan of ATS! Apply for a job but you have to essentially gear your resume using SEO principles. Employers want people with great interpersonal skills, yet , your resume isn't reviewed by a human being and the rejection letter you get is a computer generated form letter. Great interpersonal skills there.... Good info I'm sure if your looking to beat the system, but when things aren't broken, don't go messing with them. HR staff/employers need to go back to reviewing applications and resumes. throw out the Applicant Trashing System!

@TheCareerForce 5 лет назад

Thanks, Andy. I've had plenty of times as a hiring manager where I asked to see the screened out applicants out of curiosity and found many great candidates. My background is in data so I know sometimes the story you see isn't the right story. I know I was by far an exception though! Many fantastic candidates miss out on jobs just by not understanding what's happening behind the scenes.

@josephm.6453 4 года назад

Some companies have their own online application where you have to fill in your contact, education, and experience information. But also they have a section to upload a pdf resume. Why would they have both, since I have already provided like 90% of the important info by filling the online application?!

@juliana2000 4 года назад

its so frustrating!! i dont have the time to keep filling out out the same info that was already provided in my resume.

@JoshArmittAGe 4 года назад

In short, your essential building your own profile within the ATS software for them because their software cant pull your details from your CV into the ATS properly. Its not ideal, but some companies simply cant afford to make sure all of their applications are compatible with ensure seamless integration. You would essentially be a CV sat in a system where there are thousands of fully completed profiles without completing the initial form if this I'd the case... it's frustrating, but not all companies have the budget for top shelf HRIS/CRM/ATS solutions that dont require you to do this.

@peterb3192 3 года назад

Very annoyed at this software and the sheer lazyness and unprofessional behaviour of those that used it. I have been ignored for four years now. There is nothing wrong with my resume if you actually read it. But so I found out today, god only knows why, but after being put through this software, i look like a complete loser. Doesn't even make any sense. It is completely ignoring all of the work i have done over the years and only mentioning to employers the few years of security work i did while at Uni. This has ruined me and my sons life.

@davidsonmg 5 лет назад

Great video! I've tailored resumes for ATS in the past, but have also had a more descriptive resume that I'd hand to hiring managers. Is this advisable to have two seperate resumes?

@TheCareerForce 5 лет назад

Hi Matthew! Thanks for your comment. We suggest using just one resume that is both descriptive and tailored for ATS. After your resume passes through the tracking software, a hiring manager or recruiter will review it before inviting you to an interview. It's important to write your resume with that in mind. I'm curious why you went with two versions in the past. Was it for length purposes? It can be very difficult to be concise when writing a resume!

@festythenoun 9 месяцев назад

ATS eliminates the human from human resources, the talent in talent acquisition, and often eliminates the unicorn candidates you've been looking for because their skills were described honestly rather than generalized in a cut-and-paste of what the job description has already said. In one sense, this is a test where the answers are already given so it should be easy. In the more realistic sense, why would any employer want this? It filters out candidates based on the least important factor: they're ability to copy the teacher's work.

So a person would literally be lying on parts of their resume

@TheCareerForce 5 лет назад

I'm not trying to suggest lying on a resume. It almost always comes back to haunt you later (and it's wrong even if it doesn't). However, there are many different ways to word things and still be truthful. This includes using the same words as a job description or putting on skills where you have at least some knowledge. I wouldn't recommend listing a skill or tool that you have absolutely no experience with but if you have some experience then you can have that discussion during interview.
