What tricks have you learned to help ensure your resume makes it past the AI screener? Because nothing I do seems to work. I doubt my resume has been seen by a real human in months. Otherwise, I would be getting callbacks.

Make sure your resume has clean formatting with nothing that will confuse an OCR system. I've come around to the idea that putting a brief summary at the top can be helpful. It's entirely possible your resume is being seen by actual humans, but they're just not being hooked by it. You have to make it obvious what you can do and what your core skills are. Recruiters will look at them very quickly, you can't expect them to read them deeply, at least at the first look.

Very well said! A summary at the top is a great first step to help support your resume.

Use keywords, make sure your formatting is plain, and always upload a PDF. Little things like that can make a difference.

I’m also struggling with this! I have so much to offer but I too feel, I can’t get past the robot process! I’m sorry we are both in this mess. Hoping for a better outcome for us. Good luck, my friend!

It's s rough market for this field. There's more people than jobs which makes it an employers market. There's s lot of people in your situation. And most companies are not using AI to screen people to that extent yet as most of us in this field still believe in the human connection and most ATS are not that advance to auto deny your resume.

The trick for me was tailoring one role at a time. Broad resumes fall through screening tools quickly.

Use keywords and making sure it stands out, not too lengthy and plain

That’s the state of affairs. AI has become the defacto screener. After 5 months of unemployment my manager found me directly on LinkedIn.

Hi all. I am trying to determine if I am being compensated fairly. I am a tax manager (about to start my second year as manager) and have been with EY since staff 1. I was promoted to manager in June 2020 (during covid) and received a 7.5% raise. The class above me has mentioned they received much higher raises during their promotion years. My base salary is now approx. 97K. Any insights would be extremely helpful. Thanks!
