Understanding Applicant Tracking Systems

In fact, what matters most to applicant tracking systems is the uniqueness or “rarity” of the keyword or the keyword phrase, says Ciampi. That is, the keywords and phrases must be specific to a particular job ad. Applicant tracking systems, which “see” all job ads a company has ever published, determine which keywords and phrases in a specific job ad are unique to that job ad, says Ciampi.

How to Fill Out Applications When You Have a Record

You probably dread seeing the “Have you been convicted….” question on every job application you’ve filled out. It’s tempting to lie, but the probability that you will get caught is extremely high. Studies show that nearly 80 percent of employers will do some sort of background check (including criminal history). Some may do a background check before you’re hired, and some will run the check after you’ve been offered the job. No matter when they do it, if you lie on your application and the employer finds out, they can and will fire you immediately.

How to Fill Out Applications When You Have a Record (http://www.Snagajob.com)

Applying for a job with a criminal record is a difficult situation. Should you lie, and run the risk of being fired if the company finds out? Or do you run the risk of leaving the information out? Snagajob.com has an article on how to fill out applications when you have a record that gives applicants advice on what to do.

The reality is that if you’re unemployed and are collecting benefits, omitting information on a job application, getting that job and subsequently being fired for omitting the information is a major economic risk. The National Employment Law Project has produced a paper titled “65 Million Need Not Apply: The Case for Reforming Background checks for employment“. In a country where 1 out of 4 Americans has a criminal record, this is undeniably an issue that affects a large section of the country. If you feel that you were discriminated against because of your prior conviction, here are some links to agencies that can help you:

5 Things Recruiters Wish Job Seekers Knew About Them

I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a recruiter have a “light” day. Phones are constantly ring off the hook, e-mails flood in, daily status meetings interrupt the day, and screening candidates is more than time consuming. For most recruiters, this is their day-to-day.

Many recruiters do a job that could truly require the help of three people. With all those disruptions occurring, it can take a bit longer than you would like for them to pull your resume, review and communicate.

If you’ve decided to go through an agency to help you find a job, your frustration levels may be high due to the inability to get in contact with a job recruiter. Written from a Recruiter’s point of view, 5 Things Recruiters Wish Job Seekers Knew About Them lets you know what the day in the life of a Recruiter is. Understanding the way a recruiter spends their day can give you a competitive advantage in landing your next job (or becoming more aggressive in your job search).

Questions You Should Ask in Your Job Interview

Remember that an interview is a two-way conversation. For you, the interview has three purposes, in the following order of importance:

• One, to sell yourself, 

• Two, to evaluate the position, and,

• Three, get their commitment for (or at least establish their desire for) the next step in the process (whatever it is)

Don’t forget to ask questions during your job interview, for the following reasons above. Pohly’s Net Guide has a listing of important job questions you can ask during the job interview, in case you’re stuck and not sure what to ask. As always, make sure to tailor the questions to your job search and functions. A question such as, “Are any acquisitions, divestitures, or proxy fights on the horizon?” may not be appropriate for certain types of jobs. As always, use common sense and don’t think of asking questions as a bad thing. 

P.S. Pam Pohly’s website also has a listing of resources for workers in the medical profession. Take a look at the resources they have to offer.

How to Decipher Job Ads So You Actually Know What You’re Applying For

If you’re suspicious that a job ad might be a scam, research the company. Google “Name of Company Scam” and see what comes up. If you conclude the company can’t be trusted, report it. We don’t need more of these clogging up job boards.

How to Decipher Job Ads So You Actually Know What You’re Applying For | Brazen Careerist

Job ads are hard to understand. Different websites have different ways of letting you know whether they are posted through an agency, an employer, or direct marketing. If you see a good job, it may be hard to distinguish whether it’s a great opportunity or too good to be true. Brazen Careerist has made a short primer on determining what type of job you’re applying to by looking at the ad. They covered all the bases, helping job-seekers today. Don’t forget, you could also ask the librarians or valuable employees at the Career Center to help you figure out whether the ad is too good to be true. Ask! We could be located to the left of where you’re sitting (if you are on the Career Center Computers). If not, come to the library and see what services we have to offer.
