-: Whether your working with an agency,
or directly with a company, you're probably
going to go through an ATS system.
That's what Monster uses, Dice, all these sites,
they have kind of an ATS that pairs you with jobs.
And so, it screens you out based on key words.
So if you, you know, if you have 10 years
of Java Script experience, but because
you've used it in every job, you just write
it at the top in your summary and never
mention it again, it looks like you've barely
touched it, and you will not come up for these jobs,
and you're going to get calls about the wrong things.
So I would just say, make sure that, you know,
you are tailoring your resume
to the job that you actually want to get,
instead of using the same resume for everything.
And make sure you're looking at the key words
in the job description and then using those in your resume.
You don't of course want to copy and paste
the same duties, but you know, if you're looking
at a job description and it says builds, you know,
budgets, meetings, and schedule and yeah
builds budgets, schedules meetings,
and puts together project plans,
and you've done those things, don't try to reword it
so it doesn't seem like you plagiarized.
Say, I built budgets and scheduled meetings
and did project plans, you know
cause that's how you're gonna come up.
