Design Your Background for AI and Internal Screening
Craft your profile to highlight skills clearly for recruiters and AI screeners.
🎯 Platform Design for Screening Success
To maximize chances of making it through screening:
ATS-Friendly Format:
Use standard section headers: Professional Summary, Core Competencies, Work Experience, Education, Certifications
Avoid images, logos, or unusual fonts
Keyword Strategy:
Mirror job posting language (e.g., “HVAC repair,” “blueprint interpretation,” “team leadership”)
Place keywords naturally in Core Competencies and Work Experience
Measurable Achievements:
Numbers stand out (projects completed, downtime reduced, satisfaction improved)
Certifications Up Front:
Many construction/service roles filter candidates by OSHA or trade licenses — list them prominently
