JaneCo’s Resume Optimization Benefits Job Seekers:
Sensible Solutions for matching candidates to Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)

West Middlesex, PA: Jane Roqueplot, owner of JaneCo’s Sensible Solutions, a national career advancement firm based in West Middlesex, PA, completed The Job Applicant Tracking Systems’ (ATS) course on Candidate Resume Optimization for the Hiring Process. Roqueplot’s continuing education was designed around the unique needs of career coaches, resume writers, job search strategists and business consultants to help job seekers market themselves effectively.

One of the biggest challenges in today’s labor market is finding ways for job seekers and recruiting managers to meet. While the U.S. unemployment rate is still close to 10%, many companies are actually finding it hard to find the right people. Job candidates typically have less than a 2% chance of getting an interview with the applicant tracking systems that are widely used by companies intended to help corporate talent acquisition teams find the right people. “The problem,” Ms. Roqueplot stated, “is the lack of electronic match-making between a resume and a job description.” She continued, “With the ATS, computers, not people, read a resume and at least 75% of resumes are discarded for using the wrong key words, more than 20% of resumes don't make the list due to formatting issues, and only 1% of all the applicants get an interview.”

Jane Roqueplot strengthened her knowledge in customizing resumes to present the best-possible value proposition to the employer through the ATS. “Our goal is to provide services that improve a candidate’s chance of getting an interview and securing a job offer,” said Roqueplot, “and job seekers will benefit as our Candidate Optimization Services improve a candidate’s chances of getting an interview, securing an offer, and maximizing their compensation package.”

Ms. Roqueplot’s successful completion of the course further enhances the career services JaneCo’s provides its clients. JaneCo’s Sensible Solutions has gained a reputation of staying on the cutting edge of job acquisition and career advancement and continues to attract clients nationally with its exceptional resume writing and the latest job search strategies.

JOB SEEKERS: LYING ON A RESUME WILL GET YOU IN HOT WATER

West Middlesex, PA: Job searchers can learn from the misfortunes of Robert Irvine, a British-born chef and presenter of Dinner Impossible on the Food Network. “Claiming credentials you don't have is a recipe for disaster,” says Jane Roqueplot, owner of JaneCo's Sensible Solutions, a local Career Advancement Firm.

”Job seekers are most likely to lie about things like their education or number of years they worked for a company -- and these are the easiest things to check,” says Roqueplot. “If you're not caught when the company checks your references, you will likely get tripped up somewhere along the line. And many companies have a policy to fire employees caught lying on their applications -- even if that's several years later.”

Lying on resumes is on the rise. An online survey conducted for the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) found that more than 60% of the 373 human resources professionals who responded reported finding inaccuracies on the resumes they review. Inaccuracies aren't necessarily lies, but anything that brings the job seeker's character into question is likely to end their chances for getting the job.

Irvine admitted that he lied about being a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order and exaggerated his role as a traveling chef for numerous heads of state.

”If the issue is the job searcher's insecurity about their qualifications for the position, there are ways to address the issue without lying,” says Roqueplot. “It's just not worth the risk when there are perfectly legitimate ways to position your credentials -- for example, your lack of a degree -- and still win the interview.”

Jane Roqueplot, CPBA, CWDP, CECC, is the owner and director of JaneCo's Sensible Solutions, in West Middlesex, PA. She has been providing behavioral analysis, professional resume writing and career coaching services since 1995 and is a member of the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches, Career Masters' Alliance as well as serving on the board of Career Directors International.

DEBUNKING THE MYTHS OF JOB SEARCH

Local Career Professional Gains Mastery in Complex Career Issues

Sharon , PA: Employment issues are hot topics in today's uncertain economic environment. Employment stability, off shoring, outsourcing, manufacturing job drain, and stubborn unemployment rates affect millions of Americans on a very personal level. As the conduit between employees and employers, career professionals career coaches, career counselors, resume writers, outplacement consultants, and others must be more educated, networked, and connected than ever before in today's fast-changing global economy.

As a leading Certified Professional Career Coach in the Shenango Valley area, Jane Roqueplot, CWDP,CPBA, owner of JaneCo's Sensible Solutions has recently returned from the Career Masters Institute annual conference in San Francisco, California, where she gained information on emerging career issues.

TAMING ON-LINE JOB SEARCH GREMLINS

Job seekers and employers, looking for efficient ways to connect, appreciate the convenience and professional presentation of web-based resumes

Sharon , PA: Email and the Internet have revolutionized business communication by enabling instantaneous transmission of documents to individuals who may be in the next cubicle or continents away. Snail Mail and fax have taken a back seat to the ease of sending documents with the click of a mouse; however, there are inherent problems when the sender computer and receiver computer are not using the same form of communication. No one knows this more than a person looking for employment and the employers, recruiters, networking contacts, and career transition professionals with whom they communicate.

An active job search candidate may send resumes to ten or more contacts each week. Unfortunately, in many instances what you see is NOT what you get. Jane Roqueplot, Certified Professional Career Coach and president of JaneCo's Sensible Solutions, professional resume writing and job search-assistance firm, and other professional resume writers around the country have found a solution to this problem. By using The ResumeSpotlight, an innovative web-based resume tool created by JaneCo's Sensible Solutions, a job seeker can be confident their resume gets the visibility it deserves.

”When transmitting one's resume over the Internet, any number of things can go wrong,” states Roqueplot. “If the receiver does not have the same word processing program, fonts, and printer configurations as the sender, the document might arrive with unusual page breaks, misplaced text, and dollar signs, question marks or other characters replacing bullets, hyphens, and similar punctuation marks. In the worst case scenario, the employer cannot or will not open the document at all.”

These common problems occur when one sends a resume via email. The difficulties are further compounded when the job seeker is instructed to copy and paste their ASCII or Plain Text resume into a job-board text box. With The ResumeSpotlight, a job seeker's resume is saved in four formats; MS Word, PDF, ASCII with line breaks and ASCII without line breaks and hosted on a unique website with 24/7 access from anywhere in the world.

According to Roqueplot, job seekers love the easy access to their documents through their own personal website and appreciate the professional look. They can include their ResumeSpotlight URL in all their email communication instructing the reader to click on the link below to review my resume and can print it on networking cards, cover letters and fax transmissions. When an ASCII resume is requested, “one simply logs on to their website, pulls-up the proper format, and copies and pastes it on the job board or in the body of the email,” Roqueplot explains.

Besides providing an attractive resume layout, necessary ASCII formatting, immediate access, and a dependable document storage system, a web-based resume tells the prospective employer that you are technologically-savvy and better prepared to tackle today's work place challenges. “With more than 9 million resumes floating around in cyber-space on any given day, anything a job seeker can do to outshine the competition is well worth the investment,” Roqueplot surmises.

Jane Roqueplot is the owner of JaneCo's Sensible Solutions. Jane is an experienced Behavioral Consultant specializing in career development, strategic job search tools including resumes, cover letters, networking cards, personal resume Web pages, and motivational seminars.
