Are you tired of submitting your resume online and do not receive any interview calls? Following are some basic tips to improve your online job hunting process.
Most major banks in Canada receive thousands of resumes for their openings specially for entry level jobs and there is no way it is possible to shortlist these hundreds of thousands of resumes manually. Because of this reason not only big banks but organizations across the world use the computer/ online screening to shortlist the resumes at the very first stage.
To get the job you desire and to improve the online application success ratio of your job hunting process, your resume needs to pass through this first automated screening process (computer screening).
Question: So, how to identify whether there is computer screening employed by the bank you are applying?
Answer: All major banks and most big organizations in Canada has this computer screening process implemented in their HR departments. Other way to identify is when prospective financial institute or company where you are applying ask to submit the resume in text format.
Many times there is also a registration process involved which takes your 45 to 60 minutes with predefines text boxes and fields to enter your bio data details. These text box fields accept the text data and store your information in their database as plain text so that their screening computer can easily search the keyword density of resume . So it is also important for you to input the best possible key words in these fields to get your resume screened through computer screening.
Your resume needs to have all those keywords which are advertised in the job requirements. Those resumes who has certain percentage of required key-words will have better chances of passing through the computer screening.
