Best process to get interview calls
What is the best way to land interview calls (i.e., get past the resume screening step)? Even if experience and skills may be a good match as per job descriptions, one may not get a call for interview. What, in your experience, should be done to get calls? Is it arranging a referral? Or hunting down the recruiter/hiring manager on LinkedIn? Something else? TC: 130k, YOE: 2 years
How do you think about bolding the keywords on resume? Section headers are already bold
Bold is a good way to attract the eyes, but if the first few are arbitrary or random bolds (example: bolding JavaScript for a backend position), then it can work against you. If bolding directs eyes to relevant keywords that are also in the job posting, it can help out a good amount
Thank you!
From a hiring manager perspective when looking at resumes: 1 page match skills/experience with job description qualify/quantify your bullets with numbers no dumb shit like “extremely motivated to learn and very fast learner” (just the facts please)
