Why do I have to fill in my work experience AND submit a resume? Isn’t that a little redundant?

Is there a way to add some color to the work experience, or put details that won’t fit on your resume? Or should it try to match your resume as closely as possible?

Pro Tip: Use the Simplify app on desktop (don’t believe they have a mobile version yet). You store your resume information and it will automatically prepopulate most of the ATS application forms. I just use the free version. It’s saved me countless hours filling out applications, especially all those annoying self-identifying questions at the end.

Additional Posts in Ask A Recruiter - Advertising

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

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!
