What is going on guys, thank you very much for tuning in. In this section we're going to be discussing a little bit about the applicant tracking system. Now the applicant tracking system is the quote unquote search on search engine optimization for resumes. They're looking for specific key words on the piece of paper that you're giving them, that you're submitting online to see if you're a great candidate for them to to essentially invest their time in. And what you need to know is that when somebody calls you for a phone screening call or an interview, it's because they value your worth enough to invest their valuable time into you. It's your job not to screw it up.
So right now, just because I have a great field in an overall organization and business, I understand what what it means to operate in a business office setting which is virtually anywhere. We do want to we do want to put in some key factors. So if we go Go back into our listing notes. We can see essentially what we've done. What did you do? How did you do it?
Why did you do it? We had, of course education, awards, recognitions skills and programs. As you can see, I have some things here accounts payable, accounts receivable accounts reconciliation, cost accounting, tax accounting. These are things that of course that we have to think about, right? Well, what is the applicant tracking system right here I have a Ts, we have the applicant tracking system. And from here we are looking for specific key words.
So how do you get the key words into into your resume? Well, the question is, is that are you even qualified to put said said keyword into your resume, so I'm going to go ahead and start with here. The business office space Manager assist the executive director ensuring that all functional areas required to operate the community. yada, yada, yep. And overseen. Okay.
So right here, here, just this alone. This is a keyword accounting and general bookkeeping. So if we're creating a resume, we need to be able to ensure that we're putting in accounting and general bookkeeping. So when you submit the resume Well, one Do you have the accounting and general bookkeeping skill. Two is at least we know we're giving them what they want. Now this could be like QuickBooks, Excel, so invoices, income statements, these are kind of keywords that you want to put.
And this is just general accounting. I'm not going into too much depth. But of course, if you're applying for whatever position you put, if there's a specific skill or specific knowledge you need, you need to be able to put, you know excels the program. QuickBooks is program invoices or the probe. invoices are the things that you're essentially sending to your clients. income statements are our reports that you're pulling from the program.
Those are the things that you want to put in. Now if we go into primary duties and responsibilities, we can see professional professionally greet visitors and direct inquiries in a positive. All that is if we have to dumb that down. This is just saying customer service. Oh, I didn't copy. This is customer service.
That's all that same professional customer service, professional answer phones. Again, you need to have professional communication skills. Right here, all this is same Professional Communication skills, promote and maintain positive relations with residents, their family staffs and Guess again guys, that's just showing communication skills customer service, provides marketing tours and arranges marketing meals as appropriate guy, customer service communication skills, recruiting, interviewing, evaluation, supervision of receptionist staff and provides Okay, so this is actually another specific thing. So right here, if we go into this and we have to break down what it's asking, recruiting, interviewing and evaluating supervision of receptionist stuff, go ahead and move this here. This is actually an HR term. We can actually go a little bit technical here, we can talk about on boarding and recruiting.
We want to get super technical, we could say work for staffing. So again, we're we're just dissecting certain key elements from a business office manager standpoint. And that's one thing that I did want to let you know is you have to be able to say you have the skill. If you don't have the skill, you can always take certain things from your current resume and position that you know if you train to develop employees, but don't ever lie on your resume, now you can and and, and I want to make sure that we understand the difference. You can pad, quote, unquote, cushion pad, your resume, with stuff that you may feel that it's not so much explicit. It's not so much detailed.
So, you know, if you feel like you have to dance around it, just to be able to put it on your resume. I'm not saying that you shouldn't put it on there. But I'm also not saying that you Should so I understand that because there are some cases where you know, sometimes you have to pad things on your resume just to be able to put it that you did it on there. And and recruiting, interview and evaluation, that's onboarding and workforce staffing. Literally what you're learning right now. Another thing that you're doing is general direction employees stuff hours.
Okay. I'm assist executive directors. This is saying team collaboration. This right here saying team collaboration receives and distribute mail. Again, that's just a business correspondence, regular updates, staff bulletin boards, this is scheduling schedule coordination, if we put that here. Let me go ahead and put that here.
All this schedule coordination received In records, monthly rental payments. This again is accounting, bookkeeping. Accounts Receivable system as needed. So as you can see, when you are looking at the job that you're looking for the ideal job that you want, or maybe you're just looking at various jobs from different sections, because you just don't know where you want to go and yet, make sure that you can list exactly going from here through the applicant tracking system. What is it that they're asking and dissect what does that really mean to you most of the time, if you can just take that information and just twist it in a way that you can put it in one to two word phrases, you'll be perfectly fine. But the applicant tracking system are looking for keywords on your resume, such as recruiting, interviewing, evaluation, supervision, schedule coordination updates, that bulletin boards update AR System, you can put accounting bookkeeping, QuickBooks, Excel invoices Is income statements balance sheets?
Once you do that, guys, you have it set up for you this could be done in engineering, this can be done in a doctoral thing. But in order for your resume to get into the hands of a recruiter or an employer, you have to put those keywords in there. Now there's always that one anomaly that one thing that ends up booting your your resume out, that's something out of your control. You did the best you could. But understand guys, it's quite simple. Just look at the resumes that you look wherever it's on zip LinkedIn.
Monster, indeed doesn't matter. Once you get that done, you're well on your way. Make sure you keep listening your notes, the more specific the better. And until next time, stay tuned. Take care
