"Resume Tip"
When listing your previous work experience make sure to Include Relevant Job Titles. Use synonymous job titles if you can. What does that mean?
Match the job title as closely as possible to what’s in the posting.
Example: If the job you are applying for has the title “Administrative Assistant” and your previous job title was “Office Coordinator”, these titles are essentially same in many cases so customize your resume to the job description and put your previous job title as "Administrative Assistant". Never lie! Simply, you are swapping synonymous titles. #AWU #disability #jobs #resumetips

"Resume Tip"
It is an accepted fact that you shouldn't have a long Resume because simply, it won't be read. That said, don’t make it too short!
Having a resume that's overly short isn't a good idea either. While a one-page resume is often seen as being the ideal, you definitely don't want to start trimming off important bits of information in order to squeeze everything onto one page. This could mean missing out on the chance to tell your prospective employer about relevant achievements. While you might be able to impress them with this information in an interview, you have to make it to that stage first.
Don't rush through writing your resume. Do your homework first. Make sure all your relevant points are there. This document is the first step to employment. #AWU #disability #jobs #resumetips

AI Bias in Resume Screening Disadvantages Disabled Applicants
• A 2024 study revealed that ChatGPT-4 exhibits bias against resumes highlighting disability-related achievements, penalizing applicants who mention them.
• The AI model often disadvantages "enhanced" resumes, showing both direct ableism through explicit negative language and indirect ableism by drawing irrelevant disability conclusions.
• GPT-4 minimizes leadership credentials, frames advocacy as detracting from technical skills, and biases narrative structure, portraying disability-related research as "narrow."
• This bias stems from stereotypes in its training data, demonstrating that without correction, AI can perpetuate systemic ableism in resume filters, potentially justifying bias under the guise of objectivity.

"Resume Tip"
Don't let AI gatekeepers keep you from your dream job!
Here are the best practices to get your resume past artificial intelligence screening software:
Keywords are King: Analyze the job description and incorporate exact keywords from the listing into your resume, especially in your summary, skills, and experience sections. Think hard skills, soft skills, and industry buzzwords.
Keep it Simple & Clean: AI prefers straightforward formatting.
No fancy stuff: Avoid graphics, images, tables, text boxes, headers, or footers.
Standard Fonts: Stick to professional, readable fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman.
Common Section Headings: Use clear, traditional headings like "Work Experience," "Education," and "Skills."
Bullet Points: Use concise, action-oriented bullet points to describe achievements.
Tailor Each Application: This is CRITICAL. Every job description is unique, and your resume should reflect that. Customize your resume to match the specific requirements of each role you apply for.
Spell it Out: If you use acronyms (e.g., SEO, CRM), write out the full term first, then follow with the acronym in parentheses (e.g., Search Engine Optimization (SEO)).
Quantify Your Achievements: Numbers speak volumes! Instead of just listing duties, quantify your impact with metrics (e.g., "Increased sales by 20%," "Managed a budget of $500K").
Choose the Right File Type: While PDFs are becoming more readable, a .docx (Microsoft Word) file is often the safest bet for ATS compatibility.
Proofread Meticulously: Typos and grammatical errors can confuse AI and immediately flag your resume.
By following these tips, you'll significantly increase your chances of your resume landing in the hands of a human recruiter! #AWU #disability #ResumeTips #AIScreening #JobSearch

"Resume Tip"
Don't write your Resume in the third person!
Writing in the third person may seem like a creative way to make your resume stand out, but it's not a good idea. Your resume is your opportunity to communicate with potential employers, so writing it in the third person makes it hard to really connect with them. It can also give them the wrong impression of who you are as a person, as it can often come across as rather egotistical, and arrogant. #AWU #disability #jobs #resumetips
