Are you struggling to write your own resume and LinkedIn?

Are you someone who is struggling to write your own resume and LinkedIn profile? 

Or perhaps cannot find the time and place to learn best practices in resume and LinkedIn writing.

They say it takes just 6-7 seconds for a recruiter to skim your profile. Then decide if it’s the delete button to return your document to the big black resume hole, never to be seen again – or if your document is put aside for a closer look a bit later.

With the big volumes of CVs and Resumes that executive search firms, recruitment companies, and even Corporate HR departments handle nowadays, these companies are most likely using an ATS software to automate the screening. 

ATS is an Applicant Tracking System software and nearly 99% of US Fortune 500 companies use one.

It really is just a simple software application that scans, parses, and populates resumes for relevant keywords and fill this data into relevant form fields. 

To pass the ATS scan, your resume must be formatted properly, and include the right words.  If you want to get to the interviewing stage, you must make your resume ATS-friendly.
