Shannon Jackson, The Peoples Nurse, and her Special Guest, Nakesha Lee, discussed tips on preventing your resume from being Ghosted.
Steps to avoid being Resume Ghosted (From the Recruiter/Hiring Manager)
- Increase your social media presence by including a professional profile picture for your LinkedIn Profile. First impressions are still very much vital in the job-search world. Improving your LinkedIn profile will help in this area.
- Avoid being Vague on your resume or profile- Use strong action verbs and concise sentence structure when explaining essential aspects of your job.
- For example: Instead of saying, "Trained new employees," You should say, "Trained 50+ employees on new fraud control objectives to mitigate risk concerns.
- Instead of saying, "Manage employees," you should say, "Oversee management operations for 500 employees and 11 managers."
- For example: Instead of saying, "Trained new employees," You should say, "Trained 50+ employees on new fraud control objectives to mitigate risk concerns.
- Showcase skills at the top of your resume- Showcasing your skills at the top makes it easier for the recruiter to find what they need during the recruitment process.
- Always use good grammar/spell correctly- AVOID mistakes, especially regarding your resume. Any grammatical error can cause the resume to be placed in the rejection pile. It also shows that you pay close attention to detail.
- Bullet points. Cramming a bunch of wording onto your resume can sometimes hurt you.
- Do Not Embellish details from your experience- Exaggerating facts in your job performance can hurt you. If you have yet to experience it, do not place it on your resume.
