Don't Just Wish: You Can Beat The ATS To Get Noticed And Get More Job Interviews

What are you doing to get more interviews?

If you're trying to solve this problem by sending more resumes, you're?just?wishing. Trying to get more interviews through volume is doing more of the same thing that's keeping your resume stuck in ATSs, and hoping for different results.

This strategy fails during competitive job markets, because it's based on an assumption of candidate shortages. Today's job market has candidate shortages as 50%-65% (90M-110M+) of currently employed workers are searching for jobs, over 10 job seekers competing for each opening.

Good thing there are changes you can make to your resume/job search strategies to beat ATSs.

Here are a few ways to start beating the ATS to get more interviews:

• Heavy Resume Customization:?Most candidates spend too little time customizing their resume (average 15-20 minutes/resume), so they're not giving themselves a chance to match enough criteria.
• Send Fewer Resumes:?You're not going to solve this by volume, especially during a highly competitive job market. Instead, invest more time on each resume, and focus on the positions where you provide a strategic advantage over other candidates. Stop applying to all the jobs you feel you could do, and concentrate on positions you can do better than anyone else.
• Improve Information Sources:?You get zero advantage over your competitors through publicly available information. Plus, much of it is obsolete (including the job description). One reason you're getting blocked by the ATS is you're using the same obsolete information as your competitors ... so how will you stand out?
