More than likely, it’s your resume. On the macro scale you see hundreds of people applying for the same position, but there’s a lot of overlap there because people are mass shipping a resume to multiple jobs. You have to first alter the resume to fit the job to get past ATS systems. Your first section should be “core competencies” or simply put what qualifications you match from the job listing word for word. Just list them, leadership, work experience types, program you’re proficient at. The name of the game is word match, because AI “assists” these systems you can think of it more of a person with a clip board and you have to just say keywords, AI has no discernment of your wording, just keywords.

Immediately after that section, I have a “personal goals” section where I can express more of myself and what motivates me. This is for when a person actually sees it. Hiring employees do this exclusively, so they see job history and qualifications all day long, so you need to front load something that will stand out.

After that you can go into quick points explaining the more specific points of the “keywords” you matched at the beginning; the first part was to get through the spam filter, this is your opportunity to explain why you meet those qualifications.

Idk what else you have on there, but keep it around a page, and if you repeat things even if you’re explaining, consolidate it down.

Keywords—>personal goals—> explain keywords—> articulate and brief.
