Does having a resume completed by an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) get you more first interviews? Has anyone A/B this to see if it makes a difference?

As in checking the AI box when you're applying? There are too many variables for a real A/B test, but I’ve been checking yes.

What more can applicants do to be sure they are applying for the right roles? Skills gap analysis? Research adjacent jobs? Get certified in either AI or automation to assist with job responsibilities? All of the above?

ATS optimisation helps visibility, but interviews still come from clarity and relevance. Tools help, strategy matters more.

I like to apply for Product Manager roles at Amazon since I like the role. I have done front office CRM (SAP) implementations for Fortune50 clients through Accenture.

I have also worked on sales, BD and functional spec creation for new features.
Can I count these as Product Management experience while applying for Amazon or other Faangmula?

Any advice on shifting from association law to commercial real estate in FL?

I've been applying to jobs for months but every position wants at least 2yrs of experience in real estate transactions, usually way more. I'm at 1yr+ doing HOA/condo work but have had no opportunity to do real estate transactions like I expected. Seems like the only way to get the experience is to have nailed a big law gig right out of school and get put into that practice.
