Optimize Your Resume for Applicant Tracking Systems

Dennis Curtin, May, 2017

When submitting your resume to target  companies it will most likely go into an Applicant Tracking System (ATS)  which is software that reads your resume and ranks it according to  keywords.

A  recent study indicates that up to 75% of qualified job seeker  candidates are being eliminated because their resume did not follow the  ATS rules.

Dennis  is an experienced executive who gave a fascinating presentation on the  Do's and Don'ts  of presenting your resume in a format easily read by an  ATS.  He further gave concrete ways to insure that you place your best  foot forward when submitting your resume.
