What’s the most important thing you can do, right now, to increase your chances of getting a great job?
Apply for one?
Talk to a friend whose employer is hiring?
Hit the pavement and knock on the doors of every business in town?
No…
There’s one thing you absolutely MUST do (even before applying for a job) that can greatly increase your chances of getting hired.
And it’s simple, really. In fact, it’s so simple it should only take you a few minutes. It’s that easy.
Now, before we show you what you have to do, and yes, you have to do it ASAP, let’s share some startling facts with you.
About 75% of all resumes submitted to employers NEVER get read by a human hiring manager.[1]
Of those that do get read, the hiring manager only spends about 7 seconds reading them.[2]
For every job posting, there are an average of 250 resumes submitted for the position.[3]
This means that of the 250 submitted resumes (on average), only about 62 of them will reach the hiring managers hands…
And at 7 seconds per resume, that’s about 7.2 minutes of “skimming” time the hiring manager has before picking a small handful of resumes to fully review.
With these crazy stats in mind, you’ve probably figured out what it is that you need to do, right now, to better your chances at landing a job.
And that’s fixing your resume.
While this may sound like a big task, it’s really not.
You see, with today’s technology, fixing your resume has become pretty simple. Really simple, actually. The technology we’re talking about today, you guessed it… It’s artificial intelligence, AI.
And AI can do wonders for your resume.
Now, you’d think that employers would look down on you if you used AI to write your resume, but you’d be wrong. In fact, a survey of 500 Human Resources experts showed that a big majority of them said that using AI in your job search is totally ethical…[4]
As long as everything in your AI written resume is factual and true, of course.
Because like any resume, no matter if you wrote it yourself or you had help, you never want to lie… never.
There are tons of AI tools out there that you can use to help you write your resume. Some are free, some you have to pay for. While we’re not going to review any of them in this space today, we are going to suggest you try some free ones to see the results.
Start with ChatGPT. It’s easy to use and there’s a free version. But keep in mind, that when using AI to write your resume, it can get a little “wonky” when it comes to the facts. So always triple check before finalizing it. Again, never lie.
Now, get this: 75% of companies this year will use AI to help them select candidates…[5]
So, you should use AI to help you get selected!
