00:00:03,980 --> 00:00:10,450

All right cool so in this module you're going to find out who is really the gatekeeper between you and



2

00:00:10,580 --> 00:00:14,190

the first phone interview in a traditional job search.



3

00:00:14,980 --> 00:00:22,350

That way this is not an area of Dragon a unicorn but instead it's a system that you know you can work.



4

00:00:22,370 --> 00:00:24,450

So let's take it from the company's point of view.



5

00:00:24,490 --> 00:00:25,860

This is what's happening.



6

00:00:25,930 --> 00:00:32,770

Let's say that Soozie is a H.R. generalist at a biotechnology company in San Francisco.



7

00:00:32,830 --> 00:00:38,170

Susie has two years of work experience and she graduated with a degree in sociology.



8

00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:45,260

So she studied how society and are generalist is relatively junior on the totem pole in the H.R. department.



9

00:00:45,350 --> 00:00:51,040

And what will usually happen is that a department head say the head of data analysis will go to Susie



10

00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,940

and say I need a candidate with these five skills.



11

00:00:54,070 --> 00:00:59,920

Then Susie is going to integrate the spirit into a job description and publish an ad on places like



12

00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:04,000

Craigslist and made knackery Linked-In whatever.



13

00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:10,570

Then Susie is going to receive about 300 applications usually between 100 and 300 applications depending



14

00:01:10,570 --> 00:01:12,690

on the position in her inbox.



15

00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,790

And then she's going to sit down and literally go through those 300 resumes and spend between 6 and



16

00:01:18,790 --> 00:01:23,250

12 seconds trying to see whether or not you seem like good candidates.



17

00:01:23,530 --> 00:01:29,950

That's why keywords and matching the resume to the job description is so important because Susie is



18

00:01:29,950 --> 00:01:31,360

a sociology major.



19

00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,410

She is not a specialist in data analysis.



20

00:01:34,430 --> 00:01:37,540

She's only going to be able to spin that brief amount of time.



21

00:01:37,550 --> 00:01:43,300

You're seeing it you are one of the 15 resumes or so that she's going to pull out of the bunch to choose



22

00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:44,190

for a phone interview.
