In 2019, The WIMDI Speaker Series is inviting engaging speakers each month to give talks on topics that help women kill it at work.
Welcome to Talk 8 of 12 - Job Search Secrets: AI, Applicant Tracking Systems & LinkedIn
Getting hired is becoming increasingly automated. Employers are increasingly using electronic Applicant Tracking Systems to create large databases of candidates that they filter through using both AI and keyword search. Only once you pass through those filters do you get a human set of eyes on your resume, making it more complex than ever to get to the first round interview.
This talk will focus on all of the things you need to know to get a job interview in the new reality of machine learning, AI, and applicant tracking systems. WeaEll cover:
- Getting your resume layout and keywords optimized to get you hired
- What recruiters are looking for on LinkedIn (and how to make sure your profile has it!)
- What do AI and Machine learning mean for job seekers
- How employers filter through your social media to decide if you're hirable
The goal of this talk is to make sure you're the most hireable person on the internet!
