Why the engineering jobs are getting scarce?
The jobs for engineers, accounts and medical providers were much easier to acquire in recent past. The reason was that world economy was progressing rapidly and there was a big need of such skilled people. But within few decades the economy of world is suffering from continuous slums. These regular and frequent economic slums are reducing the ability of different sectors in the economies of the world to hire the people or to expand their functional units.
In the result not only they reducing the demand of new workers but also getting compelled to get merge with other companies. These situations generate the situation where highly skilled people like engineers, accounts and even doctors could not get their jobs easily. However, this problem could be solved by increasing the range of finding the job from local job market to the international job market. One could realize this task with the help of internet and information technology.
Resume Keyword Practices to Avoid
We’ve established that using resume keywords throughout your application boosts your chances of a human hiring manager seeing it.
However, be careful not to overdo it.
Packing your resume full of keywords is almost as bad as not including any at all.
Don’t forget that a real person will (hopefully) see your resume at some point. So use natural language that engages that person.
Tip
Make sure you balance hard skills vs soft skills on your resume to show you’re a rounded candidate.
Otherwise, they’ll think you’re either a bad writer — which indicates your communication skills aren’t good — or assume you’re trying to beat the ATS, making you seem dishonest.
Keyword Stuffing
Keyword stuffing refers to using the same keyword again and again in an unnatural way to get your resume past the ATS.
People engage in keyword stuffing because some ATS software gives applications a higher ranking when it detects a keyword is used more. For instance, an ATS might assign a higher score to a candidate who mentions “search engine optimization” six times over one who mentions it three times.
Here’s an example of how one applicant tried to stuff the keyword “customer satisfaction” in their resume:
Boosted customer satisfaction by 47% by implementing customer satisfaction methods as part of company-wide effort to increase customer satisfaction rates.
Trained 7 new staff members in all aspects of housekeeping, ensuring that they meet health and safety standards
An applicant stuffs the keyword “customer satisfaction” on their resume.
See how extreme this is?
This technique might get your resume past the ATS, but will immediately turn off the hiring manager — ruining your chances of getting hired.
