Quick & Easy Resume Makeovers: Boost Your Resume and Cover Letter with Key Words to Get the Job in 2017

Getting a job is becoming more and more challenging. Not only do you need the desired skills, experience and qualifications, you also need to format and write your application to get past ‘robot scanners’ that are searching for ’key words’ in your application. 

No ‘key words’ – no interview!

More than 90% of recruiters and employers in the UK and USA, and 80% in Australia and New Zealand now use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to manage the huge volume of applications they receive for any nominated position. A corporate role attracts hundreds of applicants, but only five or six people will be interviewed. Ouch! 

A lot of really great applicants miss out because they don’t know how to write their applications for this new job market. Help is at hand! This easy-to-use guide shows you how to get your application into the ‘yes’ pile. 

You’ll learn how to quickly update your tired old resume and cover letter using professionally formatted TEMPLATES (just replace the text with your own information). 

We’ll also provide QUICK GUIDES and CHEAT SHEETS to help you build your brand on LinkedIn and other social media and provide tips for networking to keep you extremely competitive in this dynamic employment market. 

Although the guide was designed specifically for Australian and New Zealand career changers, it is also extremely valuable for job seekers in the UK or USA where more than 90% of organisations use these ATS systems.

The guide also provides templates for cover letters and selection criteria statements (key capability statements) so you’re covered for both private sector and government jobs.
