Phil Rosenberg at ReCareered holds weekly free workshops and shares tips on resume building such as:
"Some of the reasons why individual resume customization rewards your job search:
1. Employers search resumes differently than we search Google: When you and I search Google, we search 1 or 2 criteria (3 – 4 if it’s a really detailed search) and we don’t mind that we get millions of possible matches. Most employers only want 50 matches, so recruiters/HR reps search for 7 – 10 criteria.
2. Stuck in the database: Even the most qualified candidates get stuck in the database if they don’t match employer search criteria.
3. ATS’ match exact words: ATS’ aren’t built to match different words with the same meaning.
4. ATS’ don’t keyword search cover letters: Executives from the top 10 ATS companies revealed that their clients install ATS’ to only keyword search one document – the resume. If you use a cover letter to show how your experience makes you the perfect candidate … you’re demonstrating it on the wrong document."
