This document discusses online job applications and how to stand out from other candidates. It notes that online applications go into an applicant tracking system and you need keywords in your resume to be contacted. It recommends creating an online video resume using PrezentMe to showcase your professionalism and non-verbal communication skills. Employers can get to know candidates as more than just resumes, which can help avoid costly bad hires. PrezentMe allows free video resume creation and sharing to enhance online job applications.

1. Online Strategy
for Job Seekers
By
Tiffany Bryan

2. Online Applications
What happens to your resume and application
after you hit the submit button?

3. Applying to Online Jobs
 Your application / resume goes into a
database known as an Applicant
Tracking System
 You may receive a confirmation email
stating that your application has been
received and if you are a good fit, you will
be contacted. Often times, they will also
give specific directions – do not contact
the Human Resources Department

4. Applying to Online Jobs
(Continued)
 IF your resume has keywords that the
recruiting team is searching for, you may
be contacted.
 Some of the most qualified candidates
are not chosen due to what the recruiters
are searching for and your exact wording
in your resume.

5. Applying to Online Jobs
(Continued)
 You are no different than any other
candidate who applies for that job
 So… how do you go from an online
application sitting amongst hundreds or
even thousands of others?

6. Standing Out with an
Online Video Resume
How can this potentially help me in my job search?

7. Professionalism
This is your chance to impress
employers with your
professional attire,
communication skills, posture
and non-verbal / body
language.

8. Word of Caution!
If you are not prepared, come
across as rude / arrogant, or
are not dressed appropriately,
you may be screened out.

9. Who Would You Hire?
Candidate A Candidate B

10. Candidate A
 Professional attire
 Friendly body language
 Seems to be the best choice… but

11. Candidate B
 Without having an online video resume

professionalism – or lack of it – until they
have invited her in for a face to face
interview
