Tired of Recruiters Ghosting You? Check These 5 Things.

Hey there! 👋

Let's talk about the dreaded ghosting experience. It stings, right? 😖 And not getting a clear reason for rejection? Even worse. 🚫

Drawing from our experience as former recruiters, we'll let you in on what catches our eye when we glance at resumes (typically within 6 seconds). ⏳ Nail these aspects on your resume to boost your chances of callbacks and keep those recruiters engaged with your profile! 📄✨

Location Alignment 📍
Your location should sync up with the job's location. This is often the first criterion we check. If there's a mismatch, your chances might dwindle. For remote roles, omitting a specific location can be advantageous.

Job Titles Relevance 🏷️
Mismatched job titles can also be a red flag. If we're scouting for an Operations Manager and your background is in nursing, we're likely to prioritize candidates with closer alignment.

Duties Assessment 📋
Once location and job titles align, we delve into your duties. Do they mirror the job description? Especially for senior or management roles, data and metrics are pivotal.

Metrics and Achievements 🏆
Highlight your past accolades. We're keen to see how you've excelled in previous roles and assess if you can replicate that success here. What sets you apart? What tangible contributions can you bring to the table?

Keyword Optimization 🔑
Lastly, we'll scan for keywords matching the job description. This stage lasts no more than 35 seconds. If all checks out, you progress to the next phase. Otherwise, your resume might not make the cut.

Now you're in the know. Evaluate your resume. Are any of these elements missing? Does your location, titles, or duties align with the job requirements? 📄🔍

You might be missing out on callbacks due to these crucial factors. Crafting a resume optimized for applicant tracking systems is key. 🔄💼
