Resume Checklist & Scorecard

Does Your Resume Pass the Resume Scanner AND Human Tests?

Nowadays resume scanning software (ATS = applicant tracking systems / software) are the first “gatekeeper” your resume will have to pass before a human will ever lay eyes on it.

Unlike many instructors, I’ve actually been a professional Resume Writer for 15+ years, with 1000+ clients, easily. I want to share my “Insider’s Insights” with job seekers just like you in this, and all my courses!

This class goes over this, and more… I‘m going to teach you how to REVIEW YOUR OWN RESUME, to evaluate whether any resume will likely “pass the tests”, in depth, with a series of sample resumes to review and critique.

• To start, I’ll walk you through step by step

• Next, I let you try reviewing some sample resume on your own to practice

• Followed by my commentary to check your assessments

• To wrap up, I provide 5 additional resumes you can use to practice with Resume Checklist & Scorecard provided to guide you

• PDF versions of resources of lots of key aspects of this video course are also provided

Section 1: Software Scanners vs. Humans: what do they look for – what’s different, what’s the same (+ a bit about ‘graphic design style’ resumes & templates – should you, or should you not use these?)

Section 2: Sample Resume #1 – I’ll walk you through a Sample Resume Review, step by step, then, guide you to practice yourself in two ways:

1) Common Questions/Issues and

2) Format

You’ll also see the “AFTER” version of this resume, the rewrite that incorporates the feedback!

(as a Bonus, the pdf versions are included here as well!)

Section 3: Your Turn! Samples Resume #2 – Review & Compare you will

First review yourself,

Then I’ll evaluate it in depth, so you can compare what you noticed with what I see and would recommend.

AND,

There is also an “AFTER / Improved” version shown with suggestions incorporated here, too.

Section 4: Keep Practicing! Evaluate 5 more sample resumes, from different industries, and job types. (see below for timestamps for each resume/type)

You’ll do this on your own, without my input – but, I provide you with some resources to guide you:

1) a Resume Review Checklist &

2) a Resume Scorecard to ‘grade’ each resume

By the end, the goal (the “Class Project” is that you feel confident in reviewing YOUR RESUME and evaluating what you can do to improve your chances of 1st getting through the resume scanning software, so you are selected to then have a real live person look at your resume and ultimately, we hope, invite you in for an interview!
