What job seekers need to know in 2020

• In 2015, when unemployment was between 5%-5.5%, Glassdoor’s research found “on average, each corporate job opening attracted 250 résumés.”
• A few years later JobScan found 98% of Fortune 500 companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). This means a robot parses your resume and determines whether you match the requirements and whether you move forward in the hiring process.
• Presuming you’re fortunate enough to get through the ATS, recruiters and hiring managers aren’t spending a lot of time reading your resume. According to a 2018 eye-tracking survey by the Ladders, “recruiters spend just 7.4 seconds screening an average resume.”

You want your #resume to breeze through this process. But if you’re unaware of how the process works, how could you possibly prepare?
