Any advice for two column resumes that ATS can actually read? Mine’s in Canva but I’m worried that’s part of the issue.

I hate the idea that I may not be getting jobs just because my resume (easy read for humans) isn’t perfect for the ai system.

I relate to this post so much. I was recently laid off and hadn't needed a resume since 2018 or before. I started applying with my newly updated resume and got NO responses. I was getting really discouraged until I found out about ATS. 🙄 I put my resume into ChatGPT and spent a few hours going back and forth, making sure everything was AI-ready. Once Chat finally told me it was perfect for ATS, I began applying again and got two responses almost instantly! I highly recommend going through that process - it's a bit tedious but it was a game-changer, even just for my confidence in applying. I don't think it's about the layout or program used, it's all about ATS key words.

Definitely, but I would say it all depends on the type of job you're looking for. Some key words might be insignificant for certain jobs, but having an extensive list is super helpful. For example, I was looking for graphic design, but I have 5 years of experience as a manufacturing supervisor and definitely wanted to include that in my key words to show leadership abilities. I personally wasn't willing to use multiple resumes, but I'm sure that could be very helpful in some cases.

As long as you submit as a pdf it will be able to read it. Many ATS can’t view jpeg or png

Use ai to build it in a format it can read.

I was reading a post in another group that asked how folks were celebrating Diwali outside of India and 2 people mentioned that their whole street (in the US) exchanged sweets, put up lights, and pitched in for a community firecrackers permit. This had me wondering if this happened in the US for Eid as well in cites where there is a big Muslim population. Also, how do you all celebrate Eid? For folks who are grew up in the west, is there anything you plan on doing differently with your kids?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
