@@alexsakini5321 Hello there! First off, the question itself is not illegal here in North America. You can answer it by organizing your answer in the STAR method via explaining the hypothetical situation, your action and the result. You can ask further questions to clarity the discriminatory situation

@@spiritualinstincttarot Hi there, sorry looks like I missed this question. ATSs are attached to each company, so information on the ICIMS used by company A is not automatically shared with ICIMS used by company B. A company can only see the job applications within their own ATS.

Hi! Please send me a sample job description so I can get a better idea! Also - yes the lines for separating each of the sections and Bold / Italics are usually ATS compliant. Becareful of which font you use though!

@professorjoboffer Thank you! your so helpful! It took me a YEAR to finally get passing scores from a ATS website I figure it out with going over your helpful videos!

@@spiritualinstincttarot a year to learn, but you’ll take this skill for life :) something even the AI won’t be able to replace so easily

Appreciate that! Time to go make more videos

Thank you sir :)

Good question, some ATSs will be able to accommodate the tense change of verbs as well as the verbs used as nouns. For example, consolidate & consolidation. It is safe to keep the verbs present tense for the current role and past tenses for the previous experiences.

Hi there! Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Quite a career you've had including your dream job! I am glad to hear my videos have helped you land interviews :) Series on older workers, career changers and those who have little to no post-secondary education is a great suggestion! I will add that to my list of videos! I am always open to comments & suggestions! Cheers

Any misleading information, wrong information, misrepresented information on your application & documents can be a ground for dismissal even after you get the offer :). You are free to do whatever you wish to on your application & on your resume.

@professorjoboffer People should represent themselves in the best light possible, even if it isn't 100% true. Obviously, lying about experience and skills can only go so far. Lying should be used conservatively and within reason so that the applicant will be able to explain their true situation later on. I've seen people get jobs by telling a few White lies. Too many people lose job offers by being way too honest.

Thanks for your comment! Comments like this gives me energy and the drive to pump out more and more videos! If there’s anything specific you’d like me to create a video about, please let me know :)

@@professorjoboffer I will😀

Aww appreciate your time to look at my videos! I hope you find them helpful :) Will have Part 4 of the series coming soon!

@@professorjoboffer ok, I subscribed. I’m looking to find a remote pharmacy tech job. What job sites do you recommend besides Indeed?

@@SelfTaughtWeightloss Good question! I’m actually working on a video explaining where to look for jobs! Will have it out soon :)

You’re welcome :) Hope you find it useful!!

That is an excellent observation Patrick! I have tested with some of the major ATSs and found that in the header tables don’t affect how the ATS parses your resume. If you’d like to be on the safe side, feel free to remove the table in the header :)

Thanks for the clarification @@professorjoboffer

Thanks a million for your comment! I will continue to pump out videos to help you land your next job offer :)

Just a couple things!! (Give or take a hundred or so) 🤣 Happy job hunting!

Thanks!! Really appreciate your comment! I’m making some changes in the upcoming videos - hope you’ll find them more useful, stay tuned!

Of course! Stay tuned!!

Thanks for your comment! Stay tuned for Part 2!

Appreciate your comment :) check out other videos in the channel to learn about how you can write an amazing Resume/CV!

Hi there! Thanks so much for your thorough comment! I’m glad to hear that you find the videos insightful. It is not easy to transition careers, especially from one industry to another, more so when going from a trades job to an office job. Each answer is so different and is always dependent on your skills, experience and competencies. You can definitely discuss your experience as a welder such as working in /leading a team, analyzing problems (and providing solutions) and organization skills to list a few. Hope you find other contents helpful :)

Hi there :) thank you so much for your comment! I am glad to hear that you find the videos insightful. If you have any questions - don’t hesitate to ask them in the comments! Happy job hunting!

Thanks for your comment! Much appreciate your visit :)

Hi there :) hospitals have different systems (not the ATS) in place to track patient records, insurance and other information. Corporations and universities/colleges are the main users of ATSs

Glad you think so! Thanks for your comments!

Thanks for your comment :) yes I do. Please e-mail your inquiry to [professorjoboffer@gmail.com]!

Hi there, I thought I replied to this.. but maybe my reply didn't get uploaded - still trying to figure out this TH-cam. I'm sorry for the wait! I hope the following answers your inquiry. Yes - I am aware of instances where blacklisted has happened for a number of reasons (including some not listed in the video). Actually, blacklisting someone is not against the existing regulations and thus no legal consequences - furthermore, it is nearly impossible for an outsider to prove that they were blacklisted. It is the company's choice on who they want to interview and hire! If they find that someone is not a great fit - they can put those people on the side. Could you please explain how the ATS (in which you call a "secret system") does not give everyone a fair chance? FICO score you mentioned is a credit score system and not related to the Applicant Tracking System.

Thanks for your comment!

@@professorjoboffer thanks im so excited

Hey there! Appreciate the comment & your insights - whether you agree with them or not. Always valuable to get some engagement and feedback on the contents. After re-watching the video a couple more times as well as examining your notes, there’s hints of misunderstandings in terms of how my message was interpreted :) In light of this, I’d like to clarify a couple of things. Before I start, I have applied a broader meaning of the word “Cheating” to include the meanings ‘bypass’, ‘unfaithful’ and such during the video. Key Word Stuffing - Yes it is fair to highlight one’s experiences & achievements mutlitple times using the same key words (communication, coordination, social media and etc), and will not necessarily be an issue at the ATS stage. However, instead of stuffing them multiple times into a single bullet point (as shown in the video), it is more advised to spread out those key words across multiple bullet points & experiences. In the video, I’ve demonstrated the instance of using the same Key Words 4-5 times in a single bullet point - imagine having a Resume with 20-25 bullet points and some of them containing the word “communication” or “social media” 4 times in each bullet. This means in that single page 500-word Resume one will have the words “communication” and “social media” 20 times each, in addition to other Key Words they might have stuffed. During the in-person screening the key word stuffing will be more easily noticable and such practice tends to be frowned upon by the HR, recruiter or the hiring manager. Meaning lower chances of being invited in for an interview. This method may allow one to bypass the ATS, but not much further. Additionally, in the video I do not imply nor state that the ATS will DE-MERIT Resumes lacking keywords, but demonstrate that Resumes with sufficient and appropriate keywords will be more competitive (higher score). There’s a clear distinction between gaining points and losing points (de-merit) :) Copy-Pasting Job Posting / Description - If you believe this is “smart” you are more than welcome to apply it during your job hunting journey, it seems like you have valid reasons for your conclusion :) I just wanted to share through the video that from the perspective of HR and Hiring Practices, it is deemed deceitful, lazy and dishonest, thus not encouraged. Also, I’m curious as to how you define the scope and integrity of ATSs as “a system… to encourage keyword stuffing”. I have yet to find any evidence or rationale to support this. Good luck and thanks for visiting!!

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you’ll find the resources on my channel to help you become the 5 or 10 invited in for an interview soon :)

The ATSs are designed to scan for and organize words & phrases, thus it would be fair to say that indentation on your Resume / CV would have minimal impact from ATS scanning. However, once your document passes the ATS and makes it on to the in-person screening, indentation may make it easier or more difficult for the reader (HR manager, recruiter, hiring mgr) to comprehend. Another important element to note is that if you set up your documents’ indentation using the ruler function and the receiver’s document setting happens to be different - the formatting may be off (which is why we prefer ‘pdf’ as it doesn’t impact the formatting most of the time). Hope this answers your question and thanks for watching my videos :)

Appreciate the compliment! Thanks :) Stay tuned for more videos~!

Thank you very much for a wonderful comment - comments like these motivate me to share my knowledge & experiences :)

Hello! This video helps to illustrate how to write the “Summary” / “Summary of Skills” Section :) hope this helps! th-cam.com/video/zmxxO_YWl5c/w-d-xo.html

Hi, thanks for your comment! From my experiences with multiple Forbes Global companies the Hobbies & Interests section was never not acceptable on a Resume. You can write anything you want to on your Resume, some info adds more value than others, as with how you present the information. Here’s a video on the rationale behind how the Hobbies & Interests section adds value to your Resume: th-cam.com/video/N72Xaj9eKUc/w-d-xo.html Secondly, I see that you’ve mentioned a Resume and a Job Interview, each serve a different purpose in the hiring process. It is recommended to not include irrelevant personal information in either (examples: what kind of animals you like, what your favorite color is and etc). In light of that, a Resume & Interview should be an objective evaluation of yourself, including your experiences, skills & knowledge. If relevant to the position you’re applying for, it may add value during your hiring process. (Such as liking Sudoku puzzles may relate to problem-solving skills). There’s a difference in saying “I like doing Sudoku” and “Regularly engaging-in and solving Sudoku puzzles has trained me to look at the big picture when solving problems.” I understand what you mean by what most of the “conventional wisdom” says… they’re not wrong either, it’s the degree to which you relate your personal information & the relevance your personal answer has on the position being considered for. I hope this answers your question :) Lastly, there are so many resources out there and it is your decision to follow some advices (or conventional wisdoms) over the others. I hope my explanation & rationale helps you to make a better decision - happy job hunting!

Thanks for your message - All the resources to help you build / write your Resume/CV are on my channel for free :) after you’ve written it, send me an e-mail and I’d be happy to provide my personal feedback! Good luck!

@@professorjoboffer can you please give me ur email

@@etharadnan1567 hi :) here’s my e-mail address. professorjoboffer@gmail.com

Hello, thanks for your comment - nowhere in the video do I state that this is the way recruiters use an ATS; all I explain are “The secrets HR & Recruiters don’t tell you”. However, I’d love to be enlightened about your thoughts & experience on how recruiters use the ATS, would you mind sending me an email about it to “professorjoboffer@gmail.com”?

Hello Pamela, thanks for your question! Great to hear that you’re pursuing a Ph.D :) For the courses you teach / have taught you may list them under the section “Teaching Experience” which can be one of the headings / Sections of your Resume/CV; just like “Education” and “Work Experience” Under “Teaching Experiences” you can include both your TA & course teaching experiences. Hope this answers your question!

Yes, this is it for now. What more would you like to know?? :)

Thanks for your question! The actual determination & complete elimination depends on how each system is set-up. In some ATSs your application will no longer be processed and in some it may get flagged and examined individually (to see if you have other essential qualifications). Your best bet is to assume that your application will no longer be processed if you don’t meet the requirements of the knock-out questions
