Program Description:
One of the biggest challenges Job Seekers face when applying for jobs on-line is the
Applicant Tracking System (ATS). The Applicant Tracking System is a software
application that scans resumes and ranks them according to keywords and skills.
Many qualified applicants are being rejected by ATS, not because of a lack of
qualifications, but because of unknowingly formatting their resume content so the
ATS cannot recognize it.
A recent study indicates that up to 75% of job seeking candidates are being
eliminated because their resume did not meet ATS rules & requirements despite
being qualified for the position!
Denis Curtin, one of Chicago’s leading authorities on Applicant Tracking Systems will
be sharing his recommendations and insights into how to structure your resume in
order to Bridge the ATS Abyss.
During his program, Denis will discuss:
1. How to format your resume to be Applicant Tracking System friendly
2. How to avoid common formatting errors
3. How to use job seeker friendly robots to select the best keywords and skills
