When was the last time you updated your resume? Is your resume formatted for bots or just humans? Fonts, borders, shading, tables, lines, and more matter.

Your resume format should lead to a successful interview to land your dream job, but it could lead to the proverbial black hole when applying online.

Showcase that your strengths and skills align with the job requirements. Your resume needs to have good readability and be error-free.

Most importantly, customize your resume to match every job description with keywords and key phrases.
Although many people like a functional resume format, chronological or hybrid may provide better results when applying, online knowing bots will read the resume.

You should have a pretty resume for humans and a deconstructed resume for applicant tracking systems (ATS). UPLOAD usually indicates an ATS and ATTACH is for emailing or perhaps at the end of an online application. Weniger anzeigen

Think "riches in niches" and how you might be able to optimize your LinkedIn profile to build your personal brand and make it rich with keywords.
