The avalanche of résumés makes it nearly impossible for recruiters, human resources, internal corporate talent acquisition and hiring managers to go through them all. This leads to candidate frustration, anger and calling out companies as being callous and rude for ghosting job hunters.

Terrence Seamon, a career coach and leadership development consultant, advises job seekers to use the “SMART” strategy—be strategic, memorable, active, relating, and tweak the résumé before you hit submit.

You want to be “memorable" by finding ways to stand out in a crowded market. Don’t worry about fancy fonts on the résumé. Instead, ensure that the document clearly aligns with the requisite requirements of the job description. In addition to a core résumé, tailor it for each submittal to match the specific job advertisement requirements.

Most companies use applicant tracking systems, due to the large daily volume of résumés. Use relevant keywords applicable to the position and industry to improve your chances of gaining attention.. Avoid applying to five or more jobs at the same company, as they’ll feel you’re just shot-gunning your résumé out of desperation and don’t really care about the company or any of the jobs you applied for.

Coalition of media companies sue for Jan. 6 tapes given to Fox News' Tucker CarlsonSpeaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., exclusively released security video from the Capitol riot to Carlson earlier this year. Other media companies have so far tried and failed to get copies. Why didnt they ask for them all that time? Why? If the tapes exonerate Pres Trump- will they factually report it? Or will they edit the video to suit the narrative? Methinks the latter. Maybe FOX News should be labeled by Twitter as “Government Funded”.
