Yesssss... That's part of the issue here. I feel like people optimize for keywords because the applicant tracking systems today optimize for keywords. By the time a hiring manager gets to a resume, you've likely been filtered several times...
The challenge is those filters suck. Hence our approach to making it "conversational" or flee-flowing. Using word embedding and other clustering helps a lot.
Knowing nothing else, I'd say keeping your resume to 2 pages is critical... And make your "about" section on LinkedIn really stand out with a few key accomplishments.
If you'd like, shoot me your resume at hello@phaseai.com and we can give you specific feedback.
- fatnoah 6y agoI appreciate the offer to help, but my general success rate is high enough that I don't want to mess with stuff. I do target my pursuit of opportunities, and I ALWAYS rewrite my resume so that it prioritizes the experiences and skills most relevant to each job. If I were to ask for anything, it'd be something to highlight those matches.
- cl42 6y agoAmazing. If I had a penny for every job seeker who told me they don't do any resume customization... I'd have lots of pennies! :)
