There’s a false perception among job seekers that Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) auto-reject resumes without relevant keywords. As a result, some people awkwardly pack their resumes with words from the job description.
But that’s not the reality. An ATS is used to integrate with other company internal systems and keep applications and reports organized. It’s the humans who do the rejecting. So only include keywords from the job description when they have a true purpose and align with your experience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
