But it doesn't work the same way when you submit your resume to an applicant tracking system, Sharghi says:"It's a tracking system, not a decision-making system." She hasn't heard of many applicant tracking systems that actually rank resumes based on keywords.

Remember to be accurate, active and concise.Want to be smarter and more successful with your money, work & life?
