MY AWARD-WINNING PROCESS FOR WRITING RESUMES FOR TWO AUDIENCES

Gone are the days where applicants could simply hand their resumes to a potential hiring manager and set up an interview on the spot.

Today, we have applicant tracking systems (ATS), layers of resume screeners (human and computer), longer hiring times, and increased competition.

Bridget Batson with Houston Outplacement will work with you on an individual basis to craft a resume that engages both human readers and those applicant tracking systems (ATS), allowing you to seamlessly transition through the hiring process.

ELEMENTS IN RESUMES CRAFTED BY HOUSTON OUTPLACEMENT, BRIDGET BATSON

IT IS ACTUALLY A SCIENCE

KEYWORDS FOR APPLICANT TRACKING SYSTEMS (ATS)

There is no way around it. Your resume needs to be written for both a human reader and the “bot”, er, the applicant tracking system (ATS). Simply put, the ATS scans your resume for keywords and matches it with words in the job description. The more keywords, the higher you rank. When I craft a resume, I ensure keywords are in essential places (resume headlines, job titles, key strengths, and sprinkled throughout individual job roles). This allows you to receive a higher ranking and move on to a human reader.

METRICS, ACHIEVEMENTS, AND RESULTS

If there is one phrase I am passionate about, it is, “Your resume is not a job description. It is a a list of achievements with keywords.”

Your resume is unique to you. Throughout your time in each role, you made something better, more efficient, more profitable, more accurate, and/or more compliant. I will work with you discover and measure your contributions.

Some things to ponder: Did you capture time savings, cost savings, revenue growth, decreased audit findings, or improved synergy/communication among your teams?

Hint! Everyone has! It just takes an experienced professional to assist you in finding it.

The result is a jam-packed metric resume that says not only can you do the job, but you can do it better than anyone else.

ENGAGING LAYOUTS, GRAPHICS, CHARTS, AND MAPS

I am a Certified Graphic Resume Architect (CGRA), which means that I am one of the few people in the world able to create graphics-intensive resumes that are applicant tracking system (ATS) friendly. The human reader processes graphics tens of thousands of times faster than he/she does text. So, by implementing engaging graphics into your resume, it allows the human reader to rapidly identify your achievements while completing their five-second scan. Your resume graphics will be designed specifically for you. Whether it be a map, area chart, bar chart, column chart, pie chart, diagram, flow chart, funnel showcasing growth, Venn diagram, or matrix, you will be provided a document that encompasses visual elements to communicate your career story.

COMPELLING SUMMARY
"YOUR ELEVATOR PITCH"

Your summary at the top of your resume gives a clear picture of what you can bring to an organization.

You may have a history of achieving triple-digit growth, eliminating safety risks, automating processes, or improving retention. Of course, the possibilities are endless.

So, during our session as we discuss your individual roles, I am taking note of common threads in your history to compose a customized summary that ties everything together while positioning you as the applicant of choice.

Bonus! You can actually use this summary as a blueprint as you answer the “tell me about yourself” question on an interview.

Every single item I compose on the resume is designed to empower you at each stage of the application and interview process.
