Title: Discussion Module 3 - Employers using Resume Screening Software
Course: Canvas Practice Course > Section: Module 3 Resumes and Cover Letters - Applying for the Job

With an increase in the number of applicants for a position, many employers use Resume Screening Software on a computer to initially scan applicant's resumes and/or cover letters for relevant work experience and minimum job requirements.  This means that the applicant must be diligent in covering all the minimum job requirements listed in the job announcement in his/her resume and/or cover letter.  Using the correct wording is important also, since the software is programmed to recognize certain words and using the wrong terminology might mean your application is ignored.  How do you feel about the use of Resume Screening Software to initially scan your application for relevance?  How do you think the employer feels about using this software?
