ATS, Applicant Tracking System.

Basically, a computer that can't read your resume formatting needs you to rewrite it so that it can do a recruiter' s job to free them up to never respond to you.

Why can’t that data be pulled from LinkedIn? Brass Ring and all the similar form field applications are from the 90’s.

like

It’s so they can create a database of every applicant and all of their experiences/ skills in an easy, searchable format. Since there’s no standard format to writing resumes, they need to make sure everyone shares the same type of information so they can compare and contrast applicants.

I actually know the answer to this, its because a resume you make yourself isnt considered a legal document (ie, if youre lying or puffing up, its not considered personal information you told that specific company). The form you fill out is legally binding info you've provided that company, so they can hold you to it, and later prove you were or werent being truthful if need be.

Leaving soon for brand management role in CPG which I’m really excited about but curious if this will close the door to opportunities (product marketing, non technical product manager) in tech in the future. Really interested in the brand management role but if I end up not liking it the comp trajectory is not nearly as good as tech and wanted to know if that door will still be open. 2YOE, if I make a switch would likely be at 4-5YOE assuming I don’t go MBA route

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.
