Usually, the algorithm skimming your resume cannot interpret visual images. Stick with words and punctuation marks for your resume to ensure that an AI screener can read the document.Augustine says that sometimes an AI will cut out a phrase with a hyperlink attached, which can lead to incomplete sentences. If you want to reference some past digital work within your resume, make sure the corresponding hyperlinks are separate from sentences.
That is especially true in hiring since experts say that most of the AI used to vet candidates is, at least for now, more rudimentary rather than the more advanced"Sometimes being explicit about your skills and your responsibilities is helpful in case the algorithm isn't as smart on the other end to make the connection as the human mind would," Bhatia says.
Ultimately, the AI scanner is trying to match keywords from the job description with your resume. To optimize your chances of beating the bot, choose the most important listed job requirements and use those exact terms in your own resume. For instance, an engineer with a vast array of programming background might think it is obvious to their prospective employer that they have experience in JavaScript. But Bhatia recommends explicitly writing"JavaScript" as a skill so that the AI does not miss it and falsely disqualify you.AI readers may increasingly become the first to see your resume, but they are certainly not the most important.
Experts agree that today's job seekers should always assume that their application is going to be parsed by an automated algorithm at some point in the vetting process, likely early on. And they should prepare their application materials accordingly."We should also assume that there is still a human on the other end, and human connections matter and human relationships matter and a well-crafted letter to a recruiter can help and a well-crafted resume can help," says Bhatia.
