Here's the brutal truth about job hunting right now. AI screens you first.
A real person sees you second, if at all. Some desperate job seekers are paying up to $15,000 for so-called reverse recruiters, people who game the algorithm for you. You don't need to do that. Try three things. One, mirror the job posting. Pull the exact keywords from the listing and drop them right into your resume. The AI is literally running a word match. And no match, no shot.
Next, kill the fancy formatting. Columns, tables, graphics. Looks gorgeous, but bots can't read it. Plain text is ugly, but it works. And finally, load your summary section with job titles and skills straight from the description. That top section is prime real estate. Treat it like that. And get my AI newsletter at splashofai.com. Next up, a call from my weekend show, The Kim Commando Show.
Enjoy. You know that glow that you see on people just seem to radiate health. It's not just great lighting. It's what's happening inside their body.

And some studies also suggest collagen supplements may help support bone health, too. You see, it's not about turning back time.
I know we want to do that, but we just can't. It's about flexibility. feeling your best at any age. And right now, as a Kim Commando listener, you can get Native Path collagen for just a fraction of the retail price, plus free shipping and a free gift bundle. Just go to getnativepath.com slash Kim.

Chapter 2: What challenges do job seekers face with AI screening?
And most of the jobs, when I go back to the feedback, I see that they have tens, some even hundreds of applicants, and more often than not, the application isn't even viewed. But my experience with ZipRecruiter is that when I apply for a position on that particular website,
usually within sometimes even minutes or hours i receive i receive email or text message saying how what a great candidate i am and um what great offer they have for me and to follow this link to schedule interview and do this and this and that i don't do that because that i am suspicious immediately and
I am just wondering if these websites have no verification for the employers to post their job, or is there any way to spot a fake listing other than if it's a direct... from saying, okay, you submit the resume to this Gmail address. Is there anything I can do? It seems to be everywhere.
Chapter 3: How much are job seekers spending on reverse recruiters?
Yeah, it's very difficult. It's very difficult. I can tell you that we were a victim of such a fake listing. Somebody had put up like a podcast editor position. Mm-hmm. and then posed as the show, then got people to send them audio recordings, and then actually had physical, not physical, had virtual interviews with some of these people.
And then they're reaching out to me saying, you know what, how come we're not getting paid? Or if you want us to buy a computer in order for us to work for you, and what's that about?
Okay.
Chapter 4: What are the three strategies to beat resume bots for free?
So it's totally scammed. So unfortunately, the job boards, much like Facebook or any other big tech company, they don't vet every single thing that gets posted.
Chapter 5: How can I improve my resume to match job postings?
So it's up to you to use your common sense and it's important to be skeptical because as you find out is that there's a lot of scams out there.
So what you want to do is if you see a listing on a job board site that really piques your interest is go to the company's official website, go to their career page, see if that job is listed there and then apply directly with the company if you can, then rather going through these job sites. The other thing, too, is to make sure that you personalize each and every one of your applications.
Because if people know you're just going to submit to anything and anything, not really interested in you. But if you can put yourself above the fray and say, this is what I'm good at, this is what you had in the application itself, or pardon me, this is what you had in the job posting itself. Because a lot of these are now called ATS applications. applicant tracking systems.
And so when you apply for a job, is that that computer is first looking to see how many words are in your resume or in your application as it matches that job description.
Chapter 6: What formatting should I avoid in my resume for ATS?
And if the words are too far apart, then you're not even going to get selected. But you're right. If you get selected within 10 seconds, it's like, maybe not so much. I'm a great person, but...
The other thing, too, is that if you're having trouble with these ATSs, there is an insider secret that if you have to submit a resume to any company, is that it probably is going to go through an ATS, is that you take certain words that are in the job description itself, and whatever those words might be that make it unique, and then you take...
a few of those words and you actually put them in your resume but here's where the tricky part is is when you put those words in your resume you want to make sure that it's white text so that somebody seeing it doesn't they don't see those words but the ats system well so just a little tip for you if you're having trouble getting through the ats systems because again a human is not going to look at your application or resume first it's just not happening anymore
on any size, any major size company. If it's a small company like ours, yeah, somebody actually is going to read every single one, but it's still going to have to go through some ATS.
