Increase Your Ranking On Applicant Tracking SystemsWhen you’re applying through job boards or the
employer’s website, there’s a good chance your resume is going through an Applicant Tracking System.
Employers use it to filter out the most relevant job applicants based on key word match relevancy.
Making the cut is not easy. Under a typical scenario, there may be 400
resumes, but only the top 20 ranked resumes get reviewed.
To make the cut, make sure the skills and qualifications in the job posting are in your resume.

Send It To The Hiring ManagerGo to LinkedIn and identify the hiring
manager, or if you cannot find them, then get the HR manager.
Then send the resume on good paper in an 8×10 envelope directly to them, with a handwritten address to make it look personal.
Since they will be inclined to just push this into the Applicant Tracking System, you need to make it stand out right up front.
A great direct mail trick is to put a post-it on it with a hand-written message.

Put In A CallMany job applicants approach job searching
reactively. They submit their resume and wait for the
call, but to get noticed, it pays to be aggressive.
Wait 2-3 days after submission to call.You’re not calling to ask, “Did you get my
resume?” People hire people they like, so your goal is to build rapport with the right contact, asking the right questions and demonstrating you have the experiences and skills they are looking for.
