Getting Your Resume into Human Hands

This workshop provides information on the computerized applicant tracking systems that screen your resume to determine if the hiring manager will see it. You will learn why these systems exist, how widespread they are, and how to optimize your resume so that it will get past the computer and into human hands. You will practice identifying key words in job descriptions, and you will learn the common formatting features and content issues that may cause you to get screened out.
