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.

Resunate offers technologies that allow you to build a custom resume based on the job description — and helps you stand out during the application process for each job you apply for. Below are four features that help job seekers get noticed:

Templates That Matter: Resunate offers to instantly format your experiences in professional and easy to scan formats, which allows job seekers to customize their resume to better showcase your strengths. This gets the resume noticed by the ease it presents your information to the employer.

Semantic Intelligence: Making Resunate one of a kind – it utilizes semantic matching technology to help job seekers to compare their resume to any job description they are interested in. This technology then allows the job seeker to see which of your experiences are the highest ranked and most relevant for the job.

By utilizing Semantic Intelligence, job seekers can finally put their best face forward by automatically selecting the most relevant experiences for every job, with insight only Resunate can provide into how to bypass applicant tracking systems.

Director of Sales or DIRECTOR OF SALES


“Job descriptions are virtually the same. A Software Tester for Microsoft has the same duties and responsibilities as a Software Tester for Google, APPLE, Oracle, etc………..”

TSR Staff

Attention Sports-Industry Job seekers: 

There are virtually no available employment opportunities that have not been around for a while (Exception: Mobile Application Developer). This means that the position you are applying for and the one you currently have are not new to the labor market. We say this so that as a candidate you recognize the need for more on your Resume/CV to distinguish you from the competition.

For example as a hypothetical, TeamWorkOnline.com has a position listed for a Director of Sales position for the Washington Redskins. There are 4 candidates who intend to apply. Each candidate is also the Director of Sales for their current employer. In viewing their Resume/CV any Hiring Manager would expect to see the following job duties and responsibilities: Managed a team of ” ” Sales Representatives, Responsible for the ” ” territory, Provided training and coaching, etc…… The point we are making is that nothing listed above would distinguish them.

However, the fortunate candidate to get the position will be the one who provides more detail. This individual will include the specific dollar amount of sales his team generated, the % of increase in sales from a prior quarter, top performance/performer accolades, new business generated, amount of his/her responsible budget, etc….

These additional characteristics will distinguish the successful candidate from his competitors. 

Many people look at the Resume/CV as a document used for making a “normal” job description sound the more articulate. This is the wrong attitude to take when conducting a job search. The job description for any position listed on your Resume/CV should be no more than 2 sentences. The description will then be followed by as many bullet points to reflect “specific” Results and Accomplishments. This information is critical and may be the determining factor if you are one who has received no callbacks or inquiries from recruiters where your Resume/CV is located on an online Sports Employment site.
