Online Strategy for Job SeekersByTiffany Bryan

Online ApplicationsWhat happens to your resume and application after you hit the submit button?

Applying to Online Jobs Your application / resume goes into a

database known as an Applicant Tracking System

You may receive a confirmation email stating that your application has been received and if you are a good fit, you will be contacted. Often times, they will also give specific directions – do not contact the Human Resources Department

Applying to Online Jobs (Continued)

IF your resume has keywords that the recruiting team is searching for, you may be contacted.

Some of the most qualified candidates are not chosen due to what the recruiters are searching for and your exact wording in your resume.

Applying to Online Jobs (Continued)

You are no different than any other candidate who applies for that job

So… how do you go from an online application sitting amongst hundreds or even thousands of others?

Standing Out with an Online Video ResumeHow can this potentially help me in my job search?

ProfessionalismThis is your chance to impress employers with your professional attire, communication skills, posture and non-verbal / body language.

Word of Caution!If you are not prepared, come across as rude / arrogant, or are not dressed appropriately, you may be screened out.

Who Would You Hire?

Candidate A Candidate B

Candidate A Professional attire Friendly body language Seems to be the best choice… but

Candidate B Without having an online video resume

Employers may choose her instead of Candidate A due to her resume having certain keywords

They would not have any idea of her professionalism – or lack of it – until they have invited her in for a face to face interview
