SkillZoom technology helps job seekers create a comprehensive inventory of their career accomplishments, work competencies and skills toward any of the jobs they may be interested to pursue. Rather than retailor a resume
for each job objective, a SkillZoom Profile contains the complete
view of the job seeker's competencies in one place for recruiters to search systematically.
After you
see an interesting job posting on your favorite job board, you click on
an "Apply" button and land on an
employer's career website. Many of the questions
you are
now being asked seem to have been answered before. You may find yourself
wondering:
- Haven't I already answered these types of questions on five of my favorite job boards, three headhunter's websites, and several other placement sites?
- Why do I have to keep answering the same types of questions... over and over again?!
Don't these technologies
talk to each other? Granted,
I understand each employer site is intended to help them deal with large numbers
of incoming resumes, and presumably saves them some time ... but who
is mindful of MY time in all
this?
- If I were to diligently answer a
small fraction of all the online job postings that
fit my narrow field (there are hundreds of them in my specialty), that's a full-time job in of itself ...
I wouldn't get anything else done!
- While I took extra care to respond with great detail on those websites, I get
emails from them inviting me to apply for jobs that, frankly, have no relevance
to me or what I had explicitly stated. The emails appear to contain words
that are similar to those I had on my resumes, though very few of the jobs they
show match my explicit job objectives. If those emails are any indication
of how accurate and reliable their "job matching technology" is, then I am not surprised
that recruiters have such a hard time matching my resume....
- Will the keywords I use on this resume match the recruiter's search?
