ATS helps hiring managers find the right candidates by searching for keywords and adding the resume to a database. That’s why the success of your resume is highly dependent on how optimized your resume is for the job you’re applying for, the resume template you’re using, and what skills and keywords you have included. https://enhancv.com/resources/resume-checker/

The Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning - workshop leaflet Faced with a performance deficit, business leaders often assume that a training program is the answer. That is true when the root cause of the suboptimal performance is a lack of skill or knowledge. However, many other factors in a business’s structure, processes, and climate can adversely affect performance. If training is prescribed without first identifying the true cause of the performance deficit, then the training may fail to improve performance; the time and resources invested will be wasted.

Unless you have a major site associated with your name (like NeilPatel.com), your social media profiles are usually the first results Google shows when someone searches for you. Start thinking of each social media profile you create as a landing page for your personal brand. Your social media profiles are possibly the first encounter that someone is going to have with your brand, and you want that first impression to make the visitor interested in knowing more about you. https://neilpatel.com/blog/successful-social-media-profile/ How can you craft your social media profiles to attract customers and turnover for your business? Match recommendations with their explanations.]]> Keep the same username across all platforms Use your business name for the social profile Use cover images when available Add your link to the profile page Make sure all images follow the sizing rules for the site Link to your other social media platforms Stay consistent with all of your information ]]> Keep the same username across all platforms Check the availability of your username on all platforms you plan on using. You will most likely start out on Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus. However, you should think about other sites you might want to use in the future and claim your username before it gets taken. A few other sites to consider using are, Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Decide if these platforms are for you, and go ahead and claim your username. You can always make the profile private until you are ready to publish to it. Use your business name for the social profile Many businesses will create a different profile page for various products, hoping to gain likes and follows for that specific product. They end up hoping to get likes on several different product profiles, but customers just aren’t that keen on following hundreds of different pages for just one business. Knowing this, always make sure you create one page for your business and utilize only your business’s name for the page name. This will help create a central location for your followers and allow you to promote more than just one product on the page. Use cover images when available Many businesses just opt for a stock photo, which can always work, but branding your photos is a great idea. You can use a company logo or you might be able to use your company’s name in the design, but try to find images that are more spacious and aren’t very busy with type. Add your link to the profile page Include many links to your website on your profile page to make sure followers visit your site. Systematically include your signature and links to your website when posting in forums or blogs. Make sure all images follow the sizing rules for the site Each social channel has different photo sizing rules for their profile photos, cover images, and any photographs you load on the site. Sometimes, the channels might resize the image for you, which can cause blurriness or other problems, so you should always aim to stick to the rules. Link to your other social media platforms Include links within your profile, if possible, to other social channels or regularly promote the different channels. You should definitely do this if you have just started up an Instagram or Pinterest profile to get people to follow quickly. Stay consistent with all of your information Consistent information and branding across different platforms creates a very professional look and feel, especially if it is consistent with your website as well. This can create a sense of familiarity with your followers and can even bring in new customers. ]]> 25 2 Developing a social media image/brand active shuffled_lines deck_shuffled_lines deck_shuffled_lines_valign deck_shuffled_lines_halign shuffled_boxes prep_deck_shuffled_lines_halign Utilize seo (or smo) tactics for social media profiles Write a professional bio on all social sites Choose a memorable username Always Use a Profile Image ]]> Choose a memorable username Your username should reflect your business, but also be memorable for clients. This can help you gather more followers and likes if you give your profile username out, and it can also help clients remember what your page is called. You may even find they are more willing to mention your business in a comment if they can remember the username easily. Most businesses simply choose their own name for this. Always Use a Profile Image Upload a profile image on all of your social profiles. This is a great way to help clients find your social sites quickly and easily while also making sure people know your site isn’t a spam site. If your business is more of a personal one such as a musician or motivational speaker, then you can use an image of yourself or of a person people will connect with. However, it is usually a good idea to brand your profile photograph and use a company logo or design for other businesses. You don’t need to put your company name into the image, however. Write a professional bio on all social sites Think of the bio like a copywriting exercise or a six-word memoir. Show what you have accomplished instead of telling people about yourself. · Make sure your keywords are specific to your audience. · Avoid using overused words in your bio, and craft something that is fresh while also professional. · Always answer a question for the reader to encourage them to follow your social page. · Consider hiring a funny person to write a line or two at the end of the bio or add a personal touch yourself. This can help encourage people to follow the site. · Make sure you look over your bio regularly and make changes as needed. Utilize seo (or smo) tactics for social media profiles Social Media Optimization - Remember, each online element you utilize is just one more way to help you rank. You know the keywords that will help people find your website and blogs, and you’ve already implemented them. Now it is time to implement those same keywords into your social profile, and your social media markup tags. Use them in your bio, and use a few throughout the posts you use. However, you should always remember to avoid keyword stuffing. ]]> 24 SMO = Social Media Optimization markup tags = standardized set of notations used to annotate a plain-text document's content to give information regarding the structure of the text or instructions for how it is to be displayed 23 20260905 09:45-10:45 1 3000 20260905 3000 -3000 + 3000 = 0 active CV & Course syllabus feedback (2/2) By the end of this session you will have studied work plan 1st translation → adapt contents either for: a) a covering letter for your CV = use prose b) a self-introduction for job interview = use bullet points & short sentences (to avoid reading!) 1st translation 2) Comparing your skills with an ideal candidate Imagine you have identified your dream job & the companies you would sacrifice your work-life balance for... → find 2-3 job descriptions matching your skills & career ambitions → compare skills & experience of an ideal candidate with your own profile → fill in the gaps of your profile with examples from the ideal candidate → find evidence, metrics from your experience to prove you do have equivalent skills 3) Mock skills interview - Feedback → check feedback from previous lesson → prepare for another mock skills interview postponed till further notice Case study → prepare a (possibly fictive) case study (which you may actually want to cover with real students) Composing a case study → use the following from the previous lesson Seven stages of a case study → use the suggested prompt to generate a case study with AI DeepSeek / ChatGPT → practise STAR in your mock interview to describe how you have implemented / will implement this case study Chronological steps: a) choose a topic for your case study b) practise Seven stages of a case study c) complete Composing a case study d) practise delivery of your self introduction with examples from your TOC and case study 3) Update your LinkedIn Profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/boris-cherny-ab4b9215/ ## Work places → explain in 1-2 sentences each work place characteristics (before giving your experience there!) ✓ The corporate university learning solutions are a synthesis of knowledge from top experts, group leaders and world-known best practices. 80% of the in-house learning solutions are delivered by internal trainers, managers and key experts. ## Achievements / success stories & goals → sum up in 1-2 sentences ✓ Challenged by the competition, I was able to provide innovative solutions that cut costs by 15% within 2 months ## Work experience tasks & responsibilities → avoid using long lists of past-participles 〆Сentralized and implemented a unified system of management education in the organisation.
