Just signed the outside employment form in KPMG onboarding system. I actually wanted to start dabbling in creative writing as a potentially monetizable hobby, but I'm guessing this may pose issues.
Definitely interested in the "exception from this policy may be requested if provision of non-professional services doesn't interfere with one's duties of causes conflict of interest" clause, though. Has anyone been able to get one of those before?
Summer break is killing me, need a Sunday Race day.

Internal recruiter at a FAANG here. There is no ATS filter. You either get seen by me before the job fills or you don’t. Your resume keywords won’t help at all, there’s no magic way to do it. Best way to do it is to get a referral or connect with the recruitment team.
It’s a numbers game and getting to a human, you may be getting lost but ATS isn’t spitting you out. With your seniority as well you may be getting dumped for being overqualified.
Thanks v much. Any way to handle the overqualified aspect? Focus on more senior roles?
My Etsy template made it through ATS at a bunch of tech companies. Are you editing your resume for the job listings?
If the job description says SaaS and yours says commercial agreements change to SaaS
I don’t think ATS is as big of a deal as you are making it. Most places have a human at least skim resumes.
I can assure you as someone working on jobs with hundreds of applicants, there are humans trying to go through all of them.
I recruit in-house positions and there is no ATS here either - if you apply for a position through LinkedIn jobs when LinkedIn list candidates for the recruiter view LinkedIn defaults to using their system to rank candidates fit but it’s so inaccurate I change it to chronological order every time.
Make sure your LinkedIn reflects your resume position details not just companies and titles. The only other tip is make sure you meet the minimum requirements for a position.
I’ve gotten 140 applicants for a job posted Sunday evening and it’s not even noon Monday so competition can be very tough.
I really don’t think the fancy stuff impresses anyone in legal recruiting — what is important is that it’s clear and easy to read and shows your credentials and that you meet the qualifications
Do you guys have a professional summary section in your resume describing yourself?
I do not. Do you think I should have this?
I’m happy to look over it and offer any comments/advice. I’m also happy to connect you with anyone in my network.
Ty!!! Will DM you!
ATS?
Thank you!
