All right cool so in this module you're going to find out who is really the gatekeeper between you and
the first phone interview in a traditional job search.
That way this is not an area of Dragon a unicorn but instead it's a system that you know you can work.
So let's take it from the company's point of view.
This is what's happening.
Let's say that Soozie is a H.R. generalist at a biotechnology company in San Francisco.
Susie has two years of work experience and she graduated with a degree in sociology.
So she studied how society and are generalist is relatively junior on the totem pole in the H.R. department.
And what will usually happen is that a department head say the head of data analysis will go to Susie
and say I need a candidate with these five skills.
Then Susie is going to integrate the spirit into a job description and publish an ad on places like
Craigslist and made knackery Linked-In whatever.
Then Susie is going to receive about 300 applications usually between 100 and 300 applications depending
on the position in her inbox.
And then she's going to sit down and literally go through those 300 resumes and spend between 6 and
12 seconds trying to see whether or not you seem like good candidates.
That's why keywords and matching the resume to the job description is so important because Susie is
a sociology major.
She is not a specialist in data analysis.
She's only going to be able to spin that brief amount of time.
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
for a phone interview.
