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 If so, you need advanced resume optimization — not vague, outdated concepts about keywords — to maximize your chances of getting interviews.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.

Want to learn more about how the software and optimization process helps? Watch this video. (Video will open in box.)

Programs to land interviews

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

I’m currently offering two resume optimization programs:

  1. Land More Interviews Program — I’m offering various optimization packages to optimize your resume for jobs you would like to apply for.
  2. DIY Land More Interviews Program — Most of my clients want me to do the heavy lifting, but if you’d like to take a do-it-yourself-and-save approach, I’m offering training to get you up to speed, and I’ll set you up with access to the software.

Let’s talk about how these programs can empower you
