Good video, quite informative. for anyone else still looking for a job and
preparing or updating your resume, i also found another great site called
jobscan.co which has been very helpful, especially if you’re applying for a
job where the company will receive several hundred applicants. jobscan
analyzes the job description automatically and identifies the most
important keywords that you should include on your resume which saves a lot
of time for you and helps you get around applicant screening software.
saved me lots of time and got me more interviews. just thought i would
recommend the site to anyone else who’s still searching.

I need help with my resume I am relocating. I am currently working at this
time as a public safety officer certified New York State Peace Officer. I
am looking into the healthcare industry to work as a public safety officer
or security officer. I am moving to Florida once I get a job interview and
a offer. I want my resume to pass the applicant tracking systems. Since
2003 to current, I have a combined 11 years of working experience both as a
public safety officer and security officer, plus 10 years of training in
law enforcement and security. My current resume did not pass the applicant
tracking systems. Please I really appreciate and many thanks for a helping
hand. If possible can you send me examples of resumes for public safety
officer and security officer to my e-mail rodolfogracia71@gmail.com have a
good day!
+meme hey yo This is Bonnie for Jeff. He is on vacation so I am going to respond for him. Watch the video playlist he has availlable on Applicant Tracking Systems by searching TheBigGameHunterTV AND Jeff Atman. That will get you to the home page for his channel and look for “playlists” and then by the ATS or “applicant tracking systems.” That is becauses we do not have a sample resume to send to you because that would not help you. You need to customize your resume to the job you are applying for.

Very Helpful. Thank you immensity.

Get your resume to *A REAL PERSON*. By all means, submit the online
application. But afterwards, you’ve got to take some extra initiative and
get your resume into the hands of a living, breathing human being. Use
Google, LinkedIn, the company’s website or just call and get a name from
the receptionist. But get a name of someone relevant and FedEx your resume
to them. Make a nice cover letter letting them know exactly what you’re
interested in. And I wouldn’t waste time emailing it. Most of these
managers have hundreds of emails. Your email probably won’t get opened
until the job is already filled. This is what I do and I changed jobs 3
times during the recession, each one paying better than the last. *The ATS
is nothing more than a rejection machine.* Even if you cut and paste the
job description into your resume, it won’t see the light of day if the
machine ranks other people higher than you.

I have been reject 5 times by video game companies its left a sour taste in my mouth stopped applying to every video game company I can think of . because of lack of experience no one will hire me at all it really hurts me .
Katy, I hear you. Two things. The good news is you are getting interviews. Many people never do. The first suggestion I have is to practice interviewing. After all, your resume doesn’t hide the fact that you are a beginner. How can you present yourself as a better beginner than another beginner may be to improve your interviewing. Watch my videos and learn. The second thing I want to share is a reminder–it only takes one–1 company to give you a chance. Keep plugging and NEVER quit.
So just state on my resume that I am a beginner right .???
and show internships, part time roles . . .anything you’ve done professionally (Remember, I know nothing about your work).
Fonts on the resume to use that would say hire me .?
No such thing.
I know. LinkedIn website
