In today's competitive job market, simply submitting a stellar resume might not be enough to catch the eye of potential employers. Many companies have turned to applicant tracking systems (ATSs) to streamline their hiring process, leading to a new challenge for job seekers: getting past the bots.





. Whether you're aiming for career advancement or looking to switch industries, our Business English and English for Specific Purposes courses can give you the edge you need to succeed.

Here are some expert tips on how to ensure your CV passes through the digital screening process and lands in the hands of a human recruiter:

  1. Use the Right Format: Before submitting your application, check the job ad for specific formatting requirements. Most ATSs prefer resumes in Microsoft Word format. Keep it simple and avoid fancy formatting that may confuse the system.

  2. Stick to Traditional Categories: Organize your CV into standard sections like "Achievements," "Education," "Professional Qualifications," "Skills," and "Work Experience." ATSs are programmed to sort information into these categories, making it easier for recruiters to review.

  3. Understand the Algorithms: Just like human recruiters, ATSs scan resumes for specific keywords and phrases. While copying directly from the job description is not recommended, incorporating industry-specific terms and expressions can increase your chances of getting noticed.

  4. Get Help from Online Tools: Utilize online tools like Jobscan or SkillSyncer to identify the right keywords for your industry and optimize your CV accordingly.

By mastering these tips and enrolling in our specialized language courses, you'll not only improve your language proficiency but also enhance your job prospects in today's digital age.
