We would like to thank you all for the numerous suggestions and comments we have received after our first 4 new edition newsletters, keep them coming. 

In most sectors of the economy, we face a high unemployment rate, the jobs that are available are receiving significantly more applications, it's not uncommon for new jobs to receive several hundred resumes. Most companies do not have the manpower to handle that kind of volume. So they've turned to technology (ATS) that automates the initial review of resumes. These systems are designed to scan, match and score your resume so that only the resumes of the most qualified candidates pass.

While these systems simplify the selection process - they add a layer of complexity for applicants as your resume has to cater to two distinctly different "audiences".

1. an ATS that is searching your resume for job relevant keywords and phrases
2. a hiring team that will evaluate your resume for the requisite skills and experience

It can be difficult to get your resume past an ATS. So what do you need to do to build a scanner friendly resume?

1. Develop a list of relevant keywords - Keywords are nouns or noun phrases that identify the skills unique to your profession or industry
2. Use a Standard Heading - If your heading displays other data such as a career objective or job title, the risk increases that it won't be scanned properly
3. Build a key word rich summary - Use the key word list you developed to build your summary. The summary should immediately follow your heading and it must consist of several brief statements that highlight your most noteworthy qualities, achievements and skills 
4. Use Standard Fonts - ATS software systems are designed to match characters scanned from your resume with standard letter shapes. That makes it imperative that your resume be formatted with a font that these systems can easily recognize
5. Format properly to maximize performance

Your resume is the most important weapon in your job search. It must be refreshed periodically to ensure that it is adapted to the latest technologies and preferences of your target companies.

In May we have placed an Expat Executive Chef in a 5* Boutique Resort in Lombok. Our candidate is from Canada and had been waiting for an opportunity to move to Indonesia. He is so excited to now land his first job in Indonesia and even better, in Lombok where his Indonesian wife and child are living! 
We wish our candidate good luck with his new assignment and lot of quality time with his family...
