to all my babes out there trying to get a job, got some tips for y'all. i'm updating my resume and realised that what i do might help some people, and not everyone knows about ATS parsing. gonna be long, will add a tldr at the end

so, first things, instead of MS office, i use libreOffice as my document creator/word processor. stop giving microsoft your money - libreOffice is free and open source, and it's amazing. go get it. saves you money too and god knows we need that. but, i'm sure you can do this in publisher too, i just don't know all the buttons

onto techniques: instead of creating my resume in libreOffice's equivalent of word, i use the equivalent of microsoft's publisher - the thing meant for you to make cards and flyers and whatnot. essentially you just pick a size document, and get to throw things (pictures, text boxes, charts, whatever) onto the page where you want them. since it's geared more towards artsy things, it's a lot more flexible with formatting than word (moving images in word? just don't).

essentially, every snippet of information i put on my resume is one text box. each job with its description, each project i've worked on, etc gets its own text box. this is great in a couple ways: it means that if you want to change the formatting of your resume, you can just move around text boxes instead of fucking around with copy/paste all day. the second thing is that when a machine tries to read your resume, internally it'll read that pdf and see blocks of related information that's more precise than giant paragraphs you'd get in word. make your section titles their own text boxes (like experience, education, skills, etc) so they don't get lumped in with the real info.

i'm not gonna talk about "resume words" or "clean formatting" bc tbh i'm bad at that and i think recruiters are dumb sometimes for wanting "no templates, but only format it this one particular way". but get all your info there, arrange it how you see fit, and THEN. then we get sneaky.

in libreOffice, you can name and add descriptions to text boxes. "what!" i hear you say. "that's so weird why would anyone do that!". and i say "well, if a human is reading your resume, it doesn't matter what the text box thinks it is. but it's a machine reading your resume! you want to speak the machine's language." the name is less important than the description, in my opinion, but you can name the boxes too. what you're gonna do is select a text box, click on "format" at the top bar, then "description". and you're gonna add in the alt text box what this text box is. if it's a list of skills, write "skills". if it's education, write "education". this info won't show up visually to a human reading the doc, but it helps machines categorise the data, just a little bit better. in the description part of this, you can also try adding the key words from the job description so the machine sees them but a human really can't find it unless they really look. this isn't something i've been able to test thoroughly, though, so take it with a grain of salt.

i'm still working out all the kinks myself, and picking apart what the ATS does in terms of parsing your resume, but when i started doing this my resume was better parsed whenever i applied to jobs. which, bonus, less retyping your resume into the bullshit job app.

tldr; fuck microsoft, use libre office instead. use libre office's drawings app or ms office's publisher app for ease of use. in libre office, click text box, go to format -> description and add a description of what the text box contains. test and retest your resume in an ATS parser online to make sure the machine reads your resume correctly.

i wish this wasn't how things are, but since we're here might as well figure out hacks. if anyone else has info to add, please please do. it's rough out here.

i can't remember how well i did with my first android (lg optimus ftw), but after that i switched to iphone for like five years and i never felt. old. i felt adequate with typing.

i made the jump back to android in 2020 and like. idk. it humbles me. i am not so fast and good at texting anymore i've adjusted my keyboard hundreds of times and it just doesn't work for me and i resort to voice-to-text which with my mumbly light southern drawl it is constantly mishearing words my "ands" turn into "ins" and vice versa

my boss' name is DAWN but it's constantly doing Don, but if i say duh AWWWWWWW n lol it gets it

Use Description Keywords to Make Your Resume Stand Out

Description keywords come straight from job ads and are what the employer wants. They are also known as CV keywords or Resume Keywords Insert some naturally within the summary, skills, and experiences sections of the resume, so as to improve the match possibility of the applicant for the role. This will enable both the ATS and the recruiter to immediately get the attention to your resume.

The Role of AI in Modern Resume Checkers

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed the every tool we rely on daily, from virtual assistants like ChatGPT to sophisticated video editing software. This technological shift is now reshaping another crucial area - transforming the job application process, particularly in how we prepare and submit resumes.

However, before we dive into the world of AI-powered resume checkers, it’s important to clear up a common point of confusion: what exactly distinguishes a resume screener from a resume checker? Understanding this difference is key to making the most of these AI tools in your job search.

Resume Screener vs. Resume Checker

Resume Screeners —commonly known as Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)—are automated tools used by companies to sort and track resumes. These systems scan for specific keywords from the job description and use AI to rank candidates based on how well their resumes match the requirements. Think of it as a digital filter that helps hiring teams find the most relevant candidates quickly and efficiently.

Resume Checkers, on the other hand, are designed for job seekers to optimize their resumes “before” submission. While screeners evaluate your resume on the employer's side, checkers help you prepare a resume that’s ATS-friendly. These tools scan your resume for format, keyword usage, grammar, and overall structure to ensure you make it past the initial filtering.

How AI-Powered Resume Checkers Work

AI-powered resume checkers are your secret weapon for job search success. Here’s how they work:

1. ATS Compatibility Check: These tools analyse your resume for ATS requirements, ensuring you’re not missing essential keywords or using the wrong format.

2. Job Matching: By comparing your resume with a specific job description, the AI highlights relevant skills and experience that can make your resume stand out.

3. Feedback on Formatting & Content: They scan for common errors like grammar mistakes or incorrect contact information, offering suggestions for improvement.

4. Tailored Suggestions: Resume checkers also provide tailored feedback for different industries, recommending changes based on the job sector you’re targeting.

Ultimately, they score your resume and pinpoint areas to tweak—saving you from potential rejection while boosting your confidence that you’re presenting your best self to employers. A resume score of 75% or higher is often considered ideal for an optimized resume.

Why You Should Use an AI-Powered Resume Checker

Here’s a staggering statistic:

88% of employers, say they’ve missed out on qualified candidates because of poorly optimized resumes.

Nearly43% of resumes fail because they don't contain the right keywords, even if the candidates are qualified.

Even if the content reflects a highly qualified candidate, 25% of resumes are rejected due to formatting issues.

A 2020 survey by CareerBuilder showed that 41% of job seekers were unsure of how ATS systems worked, many qualified candidates don’t even realize they are being disqualified by technology rather than a human recruiter.

 That’s where AI-driven resume checkers can save the day.

Here’s how they can help you:

- Optimize for ATS: Your resume is scanned for the right keywords, structure, and format so that it passes the ATS filter with higher percentage.

- Boost Your Confidence: By receiving actionable feedback, you can feel assured that your resume will impress both the ATS and the human hiring managers.

- Save Time & Energy: With fewer rejections and more chances of moving to the next stage, you can focus on what really matters—acing the interview.
