Hi, I have a question. Should I apply for jobs that prefer a bachelors degree in a specific area even though I may not have a BA but a Masters in that specific area? I feel like the MA trump’s the BA, however, I’m unsure.
I had my resume revised using AI and used an ATS based evaluation app to evaluate and rate my resume. My original got a 48% rating. I went back and forth telling AI to adjust my resume based on what comments I got from the ATS system and by the time I got to 68% rating, my resume looks great but even I dont recognize my resume anymore. Whats worse is, this was as far as I can go with the free version and if I wanted to get a higher rating I need to upgrade to a paid version. What BS this is! This is the reason why I say that this type of s@$t is making HR Lazy and will never end up with great candidates because while the resume looks awesome, the candidate will end up failing the interview in the end. A resume is supposed to reflect a candidates work experience and how it will align with the companys requirements. If the company wants to hear more then they request for an interview. What happens here is that great candidates are "weeded out" just because they did not put a keyword or they did not wow the reader with high faluting words. Frustrating.
I would say this is generally a good response, though at the same time it might be something they say to everyone...I would ask a follow up question to see when you might expect to hear back from them, and if you don't hear back during that time, you can send a follow-up email to check-in.
@@LifeWorkBalance I do not lie and have no responce for hundreds of my sent CVs (not optimized). Others find key words and optimize CV "ATS friendly" (=lie) and get invitations for the interview.
Super! Thank you!

ATS doesn’t give a chance to an honest candidate. Only liars will succeed.
ATS is only the very first step of the process - if you have to lie to make it through the ATS step, then it may not be a good fit to begin with!

@@3978te Not necessarily! If you "optimize" your resume for an ATS, if you are qualified for the job, how could it be lying?
