Want to stand out in the crowd?
The chances of getting hired on a job posting through an online job board such as indeed or ziprecruiter are about as likely as your high schooler getting into Harvard.
3%
As the common app makes it so easy to click and apply, the volume of applicants goes up dramatically. This reduces the chances of well qualified students getting in as the number of spots at Harvard have not increased in proportion.
Now that all applicants are on-line and can apply from anywhere, those job board system applicants have increased. Gone are the days of printing your resume on fine paper and mailing it to your top target companies. This reduced friction in the work of applying, increases your competition. You can see it on LinkedIN , a role opens up and gets over 100 Applicants in a very short time (hours in fact).
Many currently in the workplace yet seeking to advance complain that they feel their application goes in to a "black hole". Multiply that feeling tenfold for our qualified #returners with a gap for caregiving. Why? Many don't know where they fit. And, there is bias for their gap. It exists.
Attend Untapped Potential’s Info Session to learn how to stand out in a sea of applicants. Let your stripes show in the patch of average pumpkins!
It is work to #returntowork, yet there are some tried and true steps. First and foremost is being able to communicate how you are unique. Then getting the visibility you need to let your skills shine in an unbiased way. We'll show you how.
