Large companies like Google, Amazon & Facebook are increasingly adopting ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) to screen or shortlist resumes. Current usage is nearing 60% for larger firms. First, some general tips:1) Resume must be digitally ATS-compliant (I give a basic explanation below).2) Resume must be fully responsive to the job announcement (if applicable) or the job title that is sought, as opposed to submitting a generic document not focused on the specific opportunity you are seeking.3) Resume should ideally be of high quality, state-of-the-art, accomplishment-based, and free of typos or amateurish stylistic, visual, or content elements.4) Unless you are credentialed, trained, or experienced in a select need category (some engineering, medical, or technical fields) or are Superman-Superwoman (top of class at Ivy-league institution who invented life-saving technology, founded a revolutionary start-up, or rose from abject poverty to achieve stellar heights), merely responding to a job announcement with a decent resume is often a crapshoot, at best. You must diligently research the company, the names of the decision-makers, and the industry, and then begin any and all possible back-channel networking... getting someone in the organization to believe in you and support your candidacy.Now about ATS... This is a talent management HR software system designed to help larger companies and agencies deal with the thousands of resumes they receive for posted jobs. The U.S. government requires detailed reporting for legal compliance in the event of lawsuits, and HR needs a system to electronically select only those resumes that most closely meet their needs.Specific causes for rejection include:1) Lack of desired keywords or unresponsiveness to job announcement2) Improper formatting or phraseology inconsistent with ATS3) Older file formats, incompatible fonts, tables, columns, or graphicsIn addition to the red flags mentioned above, crafting a resume that will successfully navigate its way through an ATS system can be accomplished by carefully reviewing the job announcement for keywords, creating a Word Cloud (www.wordle.net) for phrases, industry taxonomy, and terminology, and carefully addressing all items in the announcement. I recommend using the Microsoft .doc format.

I really, REALLY needed a job. I had recently started a new live-in caregiving position, and while the exchange for this was living in the house rent free, food and my car were my own responsibility. I didn't need much, but my savings were dwindling, and I hadn't realized just how difficult it would be to find a job that could accommodate my client's schedule.Finally I got an opportunity. I answered an ad for a little start-up caregiving company, sent over my resume as requested and scheduled an interview.I was told it was casual, but it was still an interview, so I chose a simple button-down shirt, black pants, and flats.When I arrived I wasn't sure I was in the right place. I was expecting an office, not a residence.Well okay, I thought. So it's smaller than I expected. That's no big deal, right? I wanted to give it a chance.After inviting me in, my prospective employer, who I'll call “Jen,” looked me up and down and said, “Why are you so dressed up? I told you it was casual.”She and another young woman were both wearing shorts and tank tops. I was waaaayyy overdressed in comparison.I also discovered the girl behind her was another interviewee. My interview was now a joint one.Okay. Unexpected. That's alright, let's give it a shot…The interview was a mess. Jen was very disorganized and when I referred to my resume she told me she hadn't even read it, and didn't really need to, that her gut told her if someone would be good or not. She called herself a good judge of character.*ding ding ding!* Warning sign!I couldn't just overlook that.The other woman interviewing had no prior caregiving experience. Apparently, Jen had told her of the job opening while she was at her current job, a Wendy's drive-thru.Now I'm not in any way looking down on working at a drive-thru, but Jen was clearly not very interested in vetting her employees. In fact when the subject of a criminal background check came up, the interviewee launched into a long and twisting tale about how her CORI just MIGHT not be squeaky clean.*ding ding ding!*I was getting very uncomfortable, but even more so when Jen described some of the positions available. She was still mostly talking to the other woman. She had a client in mind for her already!Then she turned to me.“I'll have to look through my list for you dear.”“Dear.” She was talking to me like I was 5 years old.“See, some of our clients can be difficult. Like the one I have in mind for HER wouldn't be a good fit for you. He's a pretty grumpy old man and swears alot, I don't think you could handle it. I can tell you're very sensitive and soft-spoken. Oh, and just so you know I'll need you to cover your tattoos. They are elderly people you know.”Wait, I was too overdressed for an interview but my tattoos were trashy?My mind was blown when I left the interview, and it was with some relief that I told myself that bitch was not going to call. She had already decided about me.If she had read my resume, she would have discovered that I had almost a decade of experience, professional training and certifications. If she had called even one or two of my references she would have known that over the years I had worked with a great variety of populations, including difficult clients (even those prone to violent outbursts), the elderly, and had plenty of experience dealing with emergencies, medical and otherwise.She called the next day, with a completely different attitude. She said she had gotten a chance to read my resume, and didn't realize that I had so much experience. I was offered the job.I really, REALLY needed a job. But I had been fuming over that interview. So instead, I decided to tell her to essentially fuck off - in the politest, most soft-spoken way I could.I told her I was accustomed to a more professional environment, and so in a way she was right before, I probably wouldn't be a good fit. I certainly needed the work, but that I needed to work for a company that reflected the kind of work I had on my resume, cared about vetting potential employees that were to be sent out to care for vulnerable people, and demonstrated a modicum of respect toward them.Also, I had never before been asked to cover my tattoos, as they are not inappropriate. I wasn't going to start now for $10 an hr.Apparently it was so polite it went over her head. She called me back, surprised.“Were you just telling me that you don't want the job at all??”Yes, I told her. I'm desperate, but not THAT desperate.Besides, I heard Wendy's might be hiring for their drive-thru soon.

“Your company can't afford me.”So almost three years back the research consultancy called me to their head office at Gurgaon for the final round of face to face interview.They sent me flight tickets also made an arrangement for my pickup from the Delhi airport.I reached a cybercity at 11.45 am. The interview was scheduled with a research head but then due to some medical emergency, he didn't come to the office.Don't know why, but then my interview was scheduled with the assistant manager.Maybe even he was not free, so HR asked me to wait for an hour, she again came and informed me that i need to wait for another hour.I had no option since i came a long way for an interview.__Finally, at 2 o'clock, she came and directed me towards the meeting room.The assistant manager joined, we said hello to each other.He took my resume in hand and asked the first question,He: What is your salary expectation?Me: XYZ amount, (30% more of my salary).He: Thanks for coming in. (handed over a resume to me)Me: It was nice meeting with you. (I took a resume and left office)__I spent some time at the food court and left early to Delhi airport. I know traffic gets worse in the evening.When i was about to leave, i received a call from a research head.He: “Hey sorry i couldn't come today. HR informed me that you left the interview.”Me: “Your company can't afford me.” (pause) “well, your assistant manager said this.”He: haha “I like your attitude Aaditya”.__Now it's been more than 3 years i work in that consultancy. Now that assistant manager and me share the same designation and are best friends, he shifted to Mumbai office for me.Yes, after my interview, he was instructed to not perform such stunt again and I was told to keep attitude in check.
