Top Reasons Why Your Job Application Was Rejected!
When employers post a job through job boards or in their own ATS - applicant tracking system (the name for the online system that processes and tracks your application) they can set filters to allow only applications that meet their basic requirements to reach hiring managers.
It might come to you as a surprise but do you know that a poorly crafted resume can cost you a brilliant job opening in your dream company? ATSs parse applicant’s information on the basis of certain parameters which makes it highly imperative for the candidates’ to craft professional resumes with the right blend of keywords.
When a job vacancy arrives, system explores the whole database with the keywords mentioned in the job description and lists only those resumes matching the required keywords.
It is observed that approx. 75% of job seekers lose the chances of getting an interview as soon as they drop their resumes to a company website. It happens because their resumes are not optimized as per the ATS, job requirements overlooked (including background) and lack of proofreading for grammatical errors.
I know that’s really frustrating, but it’s meant to benefit everyone; with the market as competitive as it is, hiring managers can get swamped by people applying to every job, not just the ones they are qualified for.
No applicant tracking system will identify or rank your resume if it is missing the right keywords and phrases.
Incorporate following do's and don'ts, next time you are going to submit your resume to enhance the chances of getting more visibility on an applicant tracking system:
1. Submit a Lengthier Resume: ATS doesn’t differentiate resumes on the basis of number of pages. Insert more relevant phrases, keywords and experience in a longer resume than its shorter counterpart. Hence, higher the chances of getting noticed and ranking better.
2. Never Submit Your Resume in PDF Format: The reason being, most ATSs are designed to parse word docs and lack a standard way to read PDF documents. Resumes submitted in PDF formats stand a higher chance of being misread and lose crucial information during the screening process.
3. Don’t Underestimate the Power of Regular Keywords: Sometimes candidates get overzealous while trying to make their resumes unique and use uncommon words to describe their abilities e.g. calling "Work Experience" as "Professional Experience", "Career Achievements" etc. This strategy may help their resumes stand out while submitting it manually or by mail to the recruiters but when it comes to an ATS, it might backfire, making applicant tracking systems completely miss it out just because work experience is labeled as something else. We suggest you not to ever do that. ATSs are computer programs and recognize only those words which they are taught to read. While using different words and phrases here and there may not hurt but keep the main headings as traditional as possible.
4. DO NOT Include Graphics and Tables: Once again, applicant tracking systems aren’t designed to interpret graphics or read tables. So, including any such thing in your document might make an ATS misread it or miss it altogether.
5. Starting Your Work Experience With Dates: To ensure ATS parse and import your work experience validly, START IT WITH THE COMPANY NAME FIRST, followed by designation held and dates till when you held that title. Applicant tracking systems lookout for company names first while going through your resume and hence, it is advised to never start work experience with dates for the positions you held.
6. Not Reading the Candidate Requirements before applying for the job might seem like an obvious mistake, and yet, so many people fall at this point because they’ve not understood that “essential attributes” or Requirements means just that. If speaking Spanish is an essential skill or if you have to adhere to a background & drug test and you apply anyway despite only having a few Spanish phrases and having a blemished background; then don’t be surprised if you get turned away. So read that job description thoroughly!
As long as recruiters will use ATSs to sort candidate resumes, the candidate’s only hope to successfully pass through them and rank higher lies in understanding the keywords needed for the job & Apply the above-mentioned insider tips, the next time you are going to submit your resume to stand out from the crowd and get noticed by any ATS or recruiter.
