Although the recent grad didn't have tech experience, to Weaver, he'd shown longevity with a company and a desire to take on more responsibility. "The ATS doesn't care. "They don't have time to really parse through a résumé and think if someone may or may not be a fit. Weaver said taking these steps makes it less likely that a résumé will be set aside when a recruiter sorts for certain attributes. Don't fear the etherIt's understandable why people would stress over whether an ATS would block their résumé.

When it comes to AI in hiring, there's a disconnect between how employers and job seekers view the technology. "Helping candidates understand where in the process their application will interact with AI tools is really useful." In Indeed's AI survey, 60% of job seekers expressed concern about bias in the data that trains employers' AI hiring systems. Avoid the resume black holeMany job seekers perceive AI tools as hyper-focused on keywords, ignoring a candidate's full story. Don't sacrifice the humanity of hiringA looming concern among job seekers is that using AI in hiring will replace the personal touch.

Embracing AI to create matchesThough AI has powered Indeed job searches from the very beginning, it's now matching employers and job seekers in new and exciting ways. When a job seeker views a posting, Indeed uses hundreds of millions of salary data points to estimate the pay for that job and helps the job seeker view how that pay matches their expectations. Indeed has spent the past two years building and fine-tuning an AI-powered job description generator that is incredibly simple and effective. Employers can specify pay, and our AI will compare that pay with local listings and job seeker preferences to recommend competitive pay ranges. This uses generative AI to automatically compose a personalized message to the job seeker, explaining why their job is right for them.

Thakor, a certified financial planner and a chartered financial analyst who has an MBA from Harvard, wants to help people shed work addiction and "self-sabotaging beliefs and habits around money, careers [and] accomplishments." And you feel almost compelled in a subliminal, toxic way to keep chasing after these things. ATS: Can you explain the Buddhist concept of the hungry ghosts and how it's connected to the feeling of "never enough?" My argument is that it's because people are experiencing the symptoms of a society that's been built on this false belief that the answer to our collective angst is pursuing more money, work and more prestige. Those things turn us into hungry ghosts because they have no finish line — you can never get enough of them.

[1/2] Miguel Angel Jimenez from Spain hits a shot on the 18th fairway during the final day of the Hong Kong Open Championship at the Hong Kong Golf Club in Hong Kong, China November 18, 2012. The rare measure drew criticism from NGOs who questioned whether the golf course would be redeveloped as planned by 2029. Three of these courses are in the Fanling golf course located close to the border with mainland China. "If you see the aggressiveness of the branding by other countries, Hong Kong is really under the gun. "The (Hong Kong) government absolutely should not allow populism and antagonism against the wealthy to spread," Tong said.

The National Hockey League's Ottawa Senators have found a new owner. Toronto-based billionaire Michael Andlauer has agreed to acquire the Senators, setting a record for the highest price paid for an NHL team, according to a person familiar with the matter. Andlauer is already a minority owner of the Montreal Canadiens and had been called out in reports as an interested bidder for the Senators months ago. As part of the deal for the Senators, Andlauer will have to sell his stake in the Canadiens, The Athletic reported. The team went up for sale last year after its previous owner, Eugene Melnyk, died at 62.

☆ Crypto bill from Republicans lays out clear roles for SEC and CFTC

The bill proposes a clearer pathway for the registered offer and sale of digital assets. Crypto exchanges have been calling for regulatory clarity in the wake of expansive enforcement actions that have left companies and developers scrambling to move operations beyond the U.S. Crypto exchanges Coinbase and Gemini have both announced off-shore exchange operations. Coinbase also is engaged in a bruising courtroom battle with the SEC over the very issues that apparently prompted the McHenry-Thompson bill. The crypto exchange received a Wells notice, a warning of impending enforcement action, from the SEC earlier this year. The draft bill will likely be reshaped and modified in coming weeks and months, but it represents a powerful vote of support from two influential Republican members.

I've spent the last six years as a recruiter and career coach, helping people land jobs at major companies, including Microsoft, Google and Facebook. 1 resume mistakeLately, the biggest resume mistake I've been seeing people make is "keyword stuffing" — or trying to use as many keywords from the job description as possible.

For example, let's say one of the required skills in a job description is "Microsoft Excel." I recommend including at least nine key skills and grouping them into columns of three, spread evenly across the top of the resume.
