How to improve your odds when applying for jobs online

Ever feel like you're sending your resume into a pit of no return when you apply for a job online? If you aren't setting up your resume correctly or aren't using the right words, that very well could be the case. 

Watch the intro video about Applying for Positions

That's because more than 75% of job applications are rejected because of improper formatting (such as using a font that isn't readable by the system or using unusual bullets), or because they used a generic resume instead of matching the job description as closely as possible. 

Online job applications are VERY tricky, but there is a way to master them to improve your chances of getting an interview dramatically. 

That's what I teach in Module 2 of the WiserU Career System when I talk about EXACTLY how to apply online -- step by step.  Watch the video to learn what I mean. 

Online job applications are a necessary evil, but you can learn to make the most of them in your job search. Check out the WiserU Career System to learn more.
