Workshops

Did you know that a human will rarely see your resume that is uploaded online to a website portal? In fact, your resume will go through several computer scannings before a report is printed with the top applicants! Resumes for the human eye do NOT work when being screened by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). We will spend some time discussing the specific changes resumes need to have to get through the AI scanning systems. This workshop will be conducted by a guest presenter, Karin Lawton-Dunn, from Iowa State University.
