Ready to find out how much time you've wasted on useless job search advice? Brace yourself - it’s worse than you think. Navigating the job market today is not that simple but the internet throwing in a bunch of false information for good measure definitely doesn't help. In today's world where everyone seems to be an expert on something, usually means hundreds of unqualified gurus pushing their “hacks” and outdated tips that only make your job search more frustrating.

Today, more than ever, job seekers are navigating the maze of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), AI, and many more technology-based factors. Some of these platforms and services are the reason why recruiters might not see the applications of some of the strongest candidates. However, the only thing standing in your way might just be you. You have to accept that a company or an organization will not stop using systems that make their work easier, especially with the high volume of resumes they receive daily. That said, it is up to you to get ahead of these systems. With September being “Update Your Resume” month, there is no better time to do this.
