Summary
Here’s the brutal reality: The average recruiter juggles 30 to 40 open roles at a time, and the average role attracts 250 resumes.

So, there’s no way that even the world’s fastest recruiter is going to read every resume and cover letter. Instead, they’ll use their applicant tracking system (ATS) to filter out most applicants.

Make sure that your students get filtered in—not out—by giving them access to:
- A deep understanding of how recruiters really review resumes (from my time as a recruiter at Teach for America) and how ATS algorithms work (from my time inside LinkedIn);
- The simple formula to make every resume bullet and cover letter sentence powerful—just by engineering them to satisfy your two critical audiences (the recruiter + ATS);
- A resume and cover letter makeover that takes these ideas from the realm of theory into the land of action!
