Now, before we reveal our HR secrets on posting successful resumes, let’s begin by stepping into the shoes of an HR Employer to see the process in which they go through when searching through the online resume database for future job applicants.
The process in which Employers’ find job candidates using the online resume database, typically take place in these four steps: 1.The employer searches the resume database by job-related keywords, like "C++", "MBA", "financial analyst", or "brand management". 2. The system generates dozens, even hundreds, of job applicants whose resumes fit the search engine. (Chronologically in the order of when they were uploaded or updated) 3. At this time, the employer can only read the *titles* of resumes. And based on the *titles*, the employer makes the quick decision to whether the resume seems on point to the available position on hand. 4. After picking a handful of resume and reading them, the employer then deems an even lesser handful of candidates fit for the position. The employer will contact these lucky job finalists by the given contact information written on their resumes.
Stepping out of those HR shoes, we now have a good grasp of what the HR Employer is looking for! We just need to maximize your chance on having your resume pop-up on under the search result, get that resume read, and likewise acquire an invitation for that job-winning interview! Let’s optimize your interview/job probability in these easy four steps:
-
The employer searches the resume database by focused job-related keywords like, "C++", "MBA", "financial analyst", or "brand management". To get a hit on the employer’s online resume database, your resume should also include these keywords. For instance, if you are looking for a job in brand management of marketing, be sure to include both "brand management" and "marketing" somewhere in your resume. A specific skill, experience, degree, or certificate, may also offer several expressions/name-variations. Better yet, you may want to solidly input or “emphasize”, by including like-wise synonyms! In this manner, no matter what keyword the employer searches under, your resume will be sure to pop up in the search result!
-
The search system generates dozens, hundreds, of keyword-related resumes, by the chronological order of recently uploaded and/or updated. This is the main reason to why you should maintain and update your resume periodically. In regards to Monster.com, when you click on the "Resumes" tab, the "last updated" date will display itself. Increase the likelihood of your resume being seen by updating your resume with additional (relevant) new information, including steps in career development, or a list of new skills/projects. It has been reported by users that if you change your resumes’ status to "private", and then back to "public", the Monster resume database system will also list your resume as having been “updated”.
-
At this time, the employer can only read the titles of resumes. Based on the titles, the employer will make the quick decision of whether the title alone, look worthy of more attention. It cannot be stressed enough, that for this reason, the *title* of your resume is a critical step! By changing your basic/bland title from "programmer", to an eye-catching, self-selling pitch like: "programmer with top financial, C++ and C# skills", you may be shocked to find out how many more interview offers you will receive! However, be sure that your title stays consistent with the rest of the skills listed in your resume.
-
It is in the final step that the employer will contact a handful of suitable candidates and extend an invitation for face-to-face job interviews. If your resume has made it thus far, it is safe to say that the employer is attracted to your resume. But don’t stop there! Spend some time on editing and improving your resume. Ask for resume feedback from friends, or take it to career office professionals (for those still in school). You can also use online resume writing services such as ResumeEdge or Monster Resume Writing Service.
