Land More Interviews with my Advanced Resume Optimization

DON’T get screened out by a computer — work with someone who truly understands the nuances of online applications and keywords

Are you going to be applying online for job openings with mid-sized and large employers? If so, you need advanced resume optimization — not vague, outdated concepts about keywords — to maximize your chances of getting interviews.

Why it matters

As you probably know, mid-sized and large employers use Applicant Tracking System (ATS) software to screen and manage job candidates. When you submit an application or resume online, your submission goes into the ATS. At that point, the content of what you submitted will determine whether it gets sucked into a black hole or actually gets read by a human being, the first step to getting an interview.

Most people are in the dark

Just about every resume writing company claims to have expertise in keyword optimization for resumes, but the vast majority of them don’t understand all the nuances of creating a resume that will perform well in an employer’s ATS.

New software helps with resume optimization

Recently, I started using a new software tool that functions the same way an ATS functions, but is designed to help job seekers optimize their resume for submission into an ATS. Thanks to this tool and training I have received, I’m well-equipped to develop resumes that can perform well in employers’ ATS software, maximizing the chances of interview requests.

Helping you land more interviews

If you’re targeting mid-sized and large employers, you need an ATS- and keyword-optimized resume to get results!

I help clients with this in three ways:

1. Industry keywords included in your resume. In every resume I write, I include a selection of relevant industry keywords and weave them into your job descriptions. This is to help you get screened in by ATS software.
   
2. Proper resume structuring for your ATS resume
   If you’re going to be doing online job applications, I’ll recommend you get an “ATS version” of your resume included in the service I provide. It will be set up AND tested for best possible performance in an ATS to ensure that it can be read properly by the software.
3. Training in how to approach online applications
   At the end of our project, we’ll have a “wrap session” (if you choose to get this as part of the service). In it, I’ll give you one-on-one training on nuances of online applications, including file formats, exactly how ATS software works, and how you can tailor and optimize your resume to increase your chances of getting an interview for a particular position.
4. Resume tailoring and optimization
   If you’d like me to tailor and optimize your resume for a specific job opportunity, I offer this service on an hourly basis to my past customers. This helps increase your chance of getting an interview. However, many clients opt to do this on their own, and I provide resources to help with this.
