Have you optimized your #resume for ATS? When you are applying for a #job, 99 times out of 100, your résumé is the first point of contact between you and the hiring manager. In other words, this document is (most likely) where you create the first impression on them. Meaning, your résumé should be clean, crisp, tight and to the point. And if you are applying to different jobs, you should be using different résumés. You do that, right? No? Why are you still using the same résumé for every job? Because every job is different, every copy of your résumé should be different; it must match the job description. Why? For starters, nothing comes easy. No pain, no gain. You MUST put in the hard work to create a résumé that presents the best version of you; the best representation of why you are the best candidate for this job, and specifically this job. And if you put in the effort, it WILL show. The hiring managers will see it as clear as the midday sun. Conversely, if you don't invest time and effort in writing it, in the best (and sometimes the only) chance of getting your foot in the door, why would the hiring manager invest time and effort in reading it? Speaking of doors and barriers, with résumés come the necessity of being aware of something called ATS or Applicant Tracking Systems. These are software tools that companies use to automatically screen candidate résumés. Think of it as a computer that scans your document for a few keywords and phrases to see if you might be a possible candidate for the job. In other words, you must satisfy a robot with your résumé before a human ever lays eyes on it! Unfair? Not really. See, when a job is available, and there are hundreds of applications, it is humanly impossible to look through every single application, just to check if it might be a match. And once that is done, the hiring manager will have to go through all of them again to see which are a possible fit and shorten the list, over and over again. It's a massive pain in the bottom. Hence, ATS. More at https://www.ajyl.online/have-you-optimized-your-resume-for-ats #career #jobsearch

As she enters the office building, she sees a buzz of activity. Everyone is extra busy. The receptionist is typing, talking and pointing all at once. The janitor is mopping an already sparkling floor. She notes that this is quite peculiar; this is quite unusual that people start their work before her. After all, her claim to fame was her "early to work, early to home" systems that she set up... her note-taking had a process; her calls were crisp but insightful; her questions were to the point but inquisitive; her calendar was... The calendar! The bloody calendar! That's what she forgot. Darn this new phone. Her calendar wasn't set up. She forgot that her boss and the client's meeting was rescheduled; it began a full hour earlier. She makes a run for it and gets to her place. Her laptop is still turning on and her phone rings. It's the boss. Not now, she thinks. She wonders if she should ignore the call but picks up after a few rings. It's the usual conversation that they have before a meeting. Is everything ready? Do we have all the material that we have to talk about? Have you found out the client's preferences for food and stay? Competitor info? OK, good. You'll manage my computer while I'm presenting. She got lucky; the boss is calm today. It must mean that the boss is ready for this. She rechecked her calendar and all the preparations. She had to be equally ready and prepared. After all, this wasn't any different than any other meetings for her but she knew that it mattered a lot for the boss. And that meant that it mattered a lot for everyone. The buzz in the office was not because they feared the boss but because they respected him. He was a good man, a strong leader, a gutsy decision maker. He was your typical rich son of a business magnate but without all the cliched negatives. No affairs, no drugs, no corruption and no sexism. Hell, he even addressed the cleaning staff respectfully and knew a few of them personally.

Time passed. He was now the powerful, but self-doubting boss. The husband never got over wanting revenge. But his life was destroyed by now. "The boss must die", decided the husband. And so started the husband's journey... The world must think he's dead; he must become a ghost. But he must avenge his wife's death; he must remain alive. This is the story of how he lives a life with no identity, no documents, no life, no money, no power but remains alive only to kill the boss. He decides to become a ghost. The Ghost decides to live. The life is dedicated to death. #nanowrimo #yourquotebaba Read my thoughts on @YourQuoteApp #yourquote #quote #stories #qotd #quoteoftheday #wordporn #quotestagram #wordswag #wordsofwisdom #inspirationalquotes #writeaway #thoughts #poetry #instawriters #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writersofindia #igwriters #igwritersclub
