Networking. Have you tried to network with the hiring manager or anyone else within the company in the department that you are trying to get into?

likesmart

In addition, the networking element is really helpful in getting past the ATS. If you have networked and have had conversations with a hiring manager or gotten an introduction through someone in that department, they will usually ask HR to send them your resume.

A good back to basics exercise is make sure your resume is compatible with the applicant tracking system (ATS) companies use. It's kind of ridiculous that you have to rig your resume to slip past robots, but such is modern life. It's also good to put some thought into cover letters, try to customize them as much as makes sense. And use the opportunity of writing a cover letter to showcase what might not fit into your resume, and, ideally, inject some personality and intelligence.

Seems like getting past ATS is rather difficult...

If you applied on LinkedIn, there is a button that asks “Did you apply?” . You have to scroll up to find it. Click “Yes” and it will keep you informed about the status of the role.

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

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

The work culture from my current position very bad and I decided to search for other opportunities. I have been interviewing for companies but have not landed the role. I am distraught, frustrated, and lost. If you know of any remote Supply Chain Management, Business Analyst or Business in general opportunities, please let me know and I appreciate your help in advance.
