ATS & Today's Hiring Process: What Recruiters Really Look For(Open to the Public)

Led by: CTC Executive Director Anita C. Jenke

Only 28% of resumes submitted to ATS ever reach human eyes—and recruiters spend just 8 seconds reviewing the ones that do. This hands-on workshop demystifies applicant tracking systems and shows you how to get your resume seen by a recruiter.

You'll learn to use AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude to tailor your resume to specific job postings, with effective prompts and best practices for matching ATS criteria. Bring your current resume, a job posting you're interested in, and access to an AI tool (free ChatGPT accounts available here). You will leave with a workbook of tips and resources to keep refining your resume and increase your chances of landing an interview.
