Shannon Jackson, The Peoples Nurse, and her Special Guest, Nakesha Lee, discussed tips on preventing your resume from being Ghosted.

Steps to avoid being Resume Ghosted (From the Recruiter/Hiring Manager)

1. Increase your social media presence by including a professional profile picture for your LinkedIn Profile. First impressions are still very much vital in the job-search world. Improving your LinkedIn profile will help in this area.
   
   
2. Avoid being Vague on your resume or profile- Use strong action verbs and concise sentence structure when explaining essential aspects of your job.
   
   
   1. For example: Instead of saying, "Trained new employees," You should say, "Trained 50+ employees on new fraud control objectives to mitigate risk concerns.
      
      
   2. Instead of saying, "Manage employees," you should say, "Oversee management operations for 500 employees and 11 managers."
      
      
3. Showcase skills at the top of your resume- Showcasing your skills at the top makes it easier for the recruiter to find what they need during the recruitment process.
   
   
4. Always use good grammar/spell correctly- AVOID mistakes, especially regarding your resume. Any grammatical error can cause the resume to be placed in the rejection pile. It also shows that you pay close attention to detail.
   
   
5. Bullet points. Cramming a bunch of wording onto your resume can sometimes hurt you.
   
   
6. Do Not Embellish details from your experience- Exaggerating facts in your job performance can hurt you. If you have yet to experience it, do not place it on your resume.
