For the vast majority of healthcare employers, résumés are prescreened and selected by robots. Robots have been programmed to forward only the most qualified candidates to a decision maker.  The résumé
reading robot is actually a program known as Applicant Tracking Software (ATS). How to get past it:

1. Target résumé to the specific position.

2. Match individual experiences to keywords/key skills found within the job posting.

3. Research the employer and target the résumé based on the facility values and culture.

4. Make strong assertions within the top ⅓ of the résumé.

5. Only apply to roles that you match 100% of the “Required Qualifications.”

6. Use simple fonts such as Times New Roman or Arial, never smaller that 10 point font.

7. List specific skills.
