As someone applying for copywriting internships, how chocked-full of keywords does my resume need to be? Do all agencies use ATS scanners for creative positions?

Just make sure there are no typos or grammatical errors.

If you are worried about this, listen to the advice here, and then add a second-page stuff with many keywords and turn the text into white and boom, you have a great resume with a second page with a list of keywords ATS will surly detect.

But how do the resumes get to you? Do the recruiters send you every resume, or do the recruiters just send you the ones that pass the ATS test?

An ATS (applicant tracking system) is a tool recruiters use to track applicants. They can be used to scan resumes for keywords that are relevant to the job the applicant applied for, which then assigns a score to the applicant, so that the recruiter only has to look at resumes with a high ranking.

Worry more about highlighting your relevant experience. And have every single friend you have check it for typos - or maybe just the smart ones.

What the heck is an ATS scanner?

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.

Rough day in the office and in the mood for something that would toss me around and maybe hurt a little. Black peppercorn crusted bacon left on a smoker too long and covered in jam made from under-ripe red fruits. The 59% ABV is definitely present, and you can smell the peat smoke from across the room. The finish lasts for days. If you’re already into peated scotch but want to crank it up another level, the cask strength Laphroaigs can show you your limits. Hurts soooo good 😌
