Online job seekers often wonder why they rarely hear anything after applying for positions.  One of the main reasons is the resume never makes it to a human reader.  Why?  95% of large companies and 50% of mid-sized companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to “read” resumes. Attend this workshop to find out how an ATS affects your job search.

According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), up to 93% of employers are Googling us.  What are the implications?  For one, it’s highly likely that our first “interview” occurs in cyberspace, without our knowledge.  We’ll look at the use of privacy restrictions on social media, as well as methods of professionalism.

Phone and Video Interviews: Tips for Success

Before you actually meet an employer, face-to-face, it’s likely you’ll encounter either a phone or video interview.  These modalities have both pros and cons.  Attend this workshop to determine the interviewing strategies that are best for you.

Salary and Raise Negotiation
