Job Readiness Series: Applicant Tracking Systems

OhioMeansJobs will explain how applicant tracking systems work and what you can do to make sure your application will break through filters and be seen by employers. Register to receive a Zoom link.

Did you know that nearly 85% of qualified candidates' applications and resumes are never even seen by employers? Applicant tracking software is used by a majority of employers, and if you don't know how it works, you are likely in the 85% of job applicants that employers are missing. In this important workshop, learn how applicant tracking systems work so you can ensure that employers see you and invite you to interview.

This program will be presented virtually on Zoom. You will receive an email with the participation link the week of the program. Please contact the Library if you register but are unable to attend. If you do not have an email address, please contact the Main Library's Business, Government & Science Division at 330.643.9020 or bgsdiv@akronlibrary.org to learn how to participate by phone. A webcam and microphone may be necessary to participate fully in this interactive event. If you have one or neither of these, your participation may be limited.
