Revamp Your Resume: 4 Ways Resunate Can Help

By Mona Abdel-Halimjob

Job seekers who apply to jobs online often wonder what happens to their resume after it enters the system, and why they never hear anything back from the prospective employer. The reason could be due to the fact that almost every resume is subjected to a screening by an applicant tracking system (aka ATS). Applicant tracking systems are the foe of a lot of job seekers.

Employers that use applicant tracking systems (the majority of them) often enter keywords or phrase terms when searching for resumes within an ATS. If the employer doesn’t use their own terms, they are at the mercy of the ATS to suggest the best candidates for them. So how do you, as a job seeker, become a top candidate for a company where the average response rate is only 4 percent? You revamp your resume with Resunate.

The Cover Letter: Address HOW you meet the minimum requirements

George — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 03:34:56 +0000

There has been a pattern among Sports Industry candidates noticed over the past months in the development of the Cover Letter (Research comes from the analysis of FREE review services).

Most candidates are using their Cover Letter to repeat information located on the Résumé. This is the wrong approach. Remember what the purpose the Cover Letter serves: to introduce your candidacy to Hiring Managers, forwarding their attention to your Résumé/CV (The 30-second time table). Noticeable repetitive information can be a hindrance to securing the Hiring Manager’s attention, which heavily depends on your content (This is especially true if the information is not related to the employer’s needs).

Always remember that employers are flooded with Résumé/CV submissions (Which is why most are using electronic Applicant Tracking Systems [ATS]).

The Correct Approach in writing a Cover Letter: Address HOW you meet the minimum requirements listed within the job description. Why? This removes your candidacy from the “Unqualified Applicant” submissions.

Steps to help guide your approach:

1st – Study the job description
2nd – Compare the Minimum Requirements to your unique Areas of Expertise
3rd – List employer’s Top Priorities for posting this position (Comes from Step #1)
4th – Address HOW you meet, or are qualified to meet the Top Priorities
5th – Provide examples of related Achievements

Look at this job posting from the San Francisco 49ers organization. Can you tell top priorities or the purpose for listing this position?
