Four Top Strategies To Get Your Resume Through ATSs In 2024

If you're trying to find your next job faster in 2024, you're probably looking for an edge over other job seekers.

There are many competitors searching for fewer openings this year, so it's harder to get your resume through ATSs and noticed by hiring managers.

You'll have to do more than you're used to, but it will make your 2024 job search easier ...

Here are 4 top strategies to get your resume through ATSs in 2024:

1. Heavy Resume Customization - ATSs are used to screen out resumes with the average 15 minutes of customization or less. You'll get more 2024 interviews by customizing more and sending fewer.
2. Find Better Information - Publicly available information doesn't give you any advantage over other job seekers, and it doesn't represent the current needs of an individual hiring manager. When you get better information than your competitors, you'll recognize more of the hiring manager's current needs, get more interviews and advance more often.
3. JobScan And Chat GPT Aren't Effective - These tools aren't effective, because you input a published job description, which won't reflect the individual hiring manager's needs (because it was written long ago by HR and legal departments).
4. Don't Send Cover Letters - Cover letters, even when required, are almost never considered in your job application. However, almost all employers say that sending them causes you to lose interviews that you would have landed without the cover letter. There's a more effective solution when cover letters are required.

Even though hiring managers expect 5-10 qualified candidates competing for each interview spot in 2024, you can gain the edge you need to get noticed and land more interviews.
