A lot of people ask why they didn't get a callback after submitting their resume. Here are some tips that might help you get a call for an interview:
1- Resume for each company: There is no way you are still using only one resume to apply for your jobs. You need to modify your resume each time you apply to a job. You'll understand why after reading the following tips.
2- Simplify your resume: Some people think it's a good idea to make a colorful resume to attract the person reading it, but this might prevent it from passing through ATS systems.
3- Pass ATS: These monster systems often kill your dreams.
How it Works:
A - Application Collection: ATS collects job applications submitted online through job boards, company websites, or emails.
B - Resume Parsing: It scans resumes to extract and organize key information like contact details, work experience, education, and skills.
C - Keyword Matching: The system compares resumes with job descriptions to identify candidates whose qualifications closely match the required role, which is why you need a tailored resume for each company.
D - Candidate Ranking: Based on the match, the system scores or ranks resumes, highlighting the most suitable candidates for review by hiring managers.
How to Pass ATS: Simply avoid using a colorful resume and use the keywords found in the job description. For example, if the job description mentions "team leader," use "team leader" in your experience section instead of "manager."
