The job market is as competitive as ever. For every one position, there can be hundreds or even thousands of applicants. Job seekers need to do everything they can to make their resume and professional image stand out.

What is the Applicant Tracking System (ATS)?

Many employers utilize applicant tracking software (ATS) to scan resumes and look for keywords that have been pre-programmed into the software. Employers are looking for keywords used in their job descriptions and on their company website. This is why we request that you include the job listing when completing the primed professionals intake form. We read provided job descriptions thoroughly and explore the company website to select specific keywords to be used in your resume. This includes a descriptive and relevant professional headline, summary of skills section, changes to your job titles, and changes to your professional accomplishments. If your resume  is “keyword rich” according to what the employer enters for their scanning technology, your resume will have a greater chance of getting to the top of the pile for review.

Do you offer workshops on basic resume skills and how to create an exceptional resume to groups or classes?

Yes! Primed Professionals offers online webinars and in-person workshops on “How To Create an Exceptional Resume.” If you are interested in having Primed Professionals present virtually or in person to your group or class, please contact us to discuss available options.
