Resume

Question

I’ve been on a job hunt since August of 2018. If it weren’t for a friend of mine being a manager at the job I’m working in now, I would still be unemployed. What is wrong with my resume/application?

Have you tried Googling for 'sample administrative resume'?  That will show good examples that you can compare your resume against.  Perhaps the formatting or phrasing can be improved.

If you are applying for jobs and getting no bites to your resume, it is likely you do not have enough key words to push your resume to the top of the list in a company’s applicant tracking system (ATS). Generally, candidates resumes who have most of the buzz words in the job description  will show up higher on the list and get called first. Your should strive to have at minimum 80% match on key words or qualifications.  Each job you apply for should be slightly tweaked to match what they are looking for.

Also,, find your target companies and try to find people in your network to introduce you to the recruiter or hiring manager.

Finally, if you are getting interviews but not landing I’m sure many of us can help you with mock interviewing.

Good luck!

I was in the same boat and I finally decided to invest in a resume writer. Within a week of updating my resume on Indeed I received two recruiter requests and three phone interviews. (I’m in my phone - and popped in through Gmail, so if you’d like the link, I’ll pop back in with their info - it’s not affiliate or anything! ?❤️)
