Filling Out Job Applications Checklist

So 🦶 Many 🦶 Steps 🦶

🎯Not only do you need to target your resume and cover letter for every position...
AND upload them....
😫BUT.... OMG - many applications require you to FILL out the SAME information, AGAIN and AGAIN.

🏃‍♀️Here's how you can expedite that so that you do it accurately, and quickly.
➡️Avoid autofill. As such as it appears simpler, you will waste more time in the long run, correcting everything that winds up in the wrong place.

📑Open your resume in a separate tab
➡️Copy and paste the information.

🧾List your experience in reverse chronological order
➡️Check if the form is filled out from top to bottom, or bottom to top so that you know if you need to input your most recent positions first, or your oldest position first.

📝Follow the directions with regard to your resume format.
➡️Some specifically ask for a PDF, others MS word.
➡️The majority of ATS systems will be able to handle either, and there are strong opinions on both sides.
➡️Personally, I recommend and my clients are highly successful with PDFs, as it keeps the formatting and integrity of the document.
➡️Avoid using Pages

✅Always target your resume to every position and include a fantastic WOW cover letter.
