Welcome fellow detectives, do you know what a ghost job is? What about how you can get companies to send you their job postings directly to your inbox? And then there’s the dreaded ATS that scary monster hiding behind every job you apply to online. ATS or Applicant Tracking Systems may seem scary, and we are often told to conquer them or else our application will be sent to the abyss.

Well, perhaps that is just not true. What about instead of beating the ATS you feed it? Join us as we welcome William Steward the Director of Canadian Operations at Equitek Employment Equity Solutions with special thanks to Brenda Davidson from the Edmonton MFRC who made this awesome connection for us.

William provided us with so much great information I broke it into two podcast episodes. Not to stop there, we have a robust video that complements our conversations and also adds some excellent information on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Make sure to check out the show notes for more information.

So for now, listen in part one as we explore the Applicant Tracking System and the “RULE” for E-Resume creation. Then plan to join us for part two as Will takes us step by step in the creation of a custom e-resume that not only befriends the ATS but feeds it too!

So if you are ready to make a dramatic impact on your ability to be noticed by employers hiring for positions that you want, let’s get started, because as always… the clues await!
