Startup jobs are becoming more and more popular, not just among Scouted candidates, but job-seekers everywhere. The idea of getting your hands dirty, wearing multiple hats while simultaneously learning valuable skills, and making a difference from day one appeals to a lot of people.

While startup life can be demanding (ie. the wearing multiple hats thing and the potential, nay, guarantee for some late nights), they come with a lot of upsides as well. They often allow employees to own stock in the company, provide (at least the occasional) free lunch, offer more or unlimited vacation time, flexible work hours, and usually have a more collaborative environment.

Do you have the startup spark in your eye?

This week at Scouted, we wanted to highlight several startups we’re – really – excited about this month. Some of them you’ll find are hiring on Scouted. Some, we just had to mention anyway.

The only condition is that you will be only shipped a box. Their team tests and selects a range of the most popular products so buyers can be confident in your purchase. Shop tried-and-true household favorites as well as new, hand-picked brands.

Boxed has received $243 million in funding. Currently, it is working as an authentic wholesaling store that sets it apart from the rest. Simplified shopping is something we all can look forward to, thanks to this startup. (Source: Cloudways.com)

By conducting analytics on individual doctors, changing the financial incentives baked into normal health insurance plans, and offering consumer-friendly tools, Garner guarantees employers a 10% savings on healthcare costs while improving quality outcomes for employees.

Not to mention the competitive salary, early-stage experience, and a high-energy team.

Duolingo

Language-learning app Duolingo has opened up new opportunities for smartphone users. Being bilingual looks great on a resume, can open life up to new cultural opportunities, and research has shown it can even delay symptoms of dementia. Now with a new round of funding from Google parent Alphabet, the fast-growing language-learning platform is looking to expand its technology, marketing and staff.

Duolingo, which offers the most-downloaded education app in the world, just raised $30 million in a Series F funding from Alphabet’s CapitalG late-stage growth venture fund, becoming the first Pittsburgh-based tech start-up valued at more than $1 billion by venture capital investors. Duolingo’s new valuation is $1.5 billion. It has raised a total of $138 million, including from existing investors such as Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers, Union Square Ventures, New Enterprise Associates, Drive Capital, Ashton Kutcher, and Tim Ferriss.

OpenInvest

Openinvest is a mission-oriented fin-tech startup that has built technology to support socially responsible investments. It was started by ex-Bridgewater employees (who we know well – they are super smart and really good guys), and they just closed their Series-A funding last year (from top VCs including Andreessen Horowitz, System IQ, QED, etc). They are in an exciting growth stage and gearing up for the next round! They have a transparent and supportive culture, and they are dedicated to using technology to bring honesty and transparency to financial services while making socially responsible investing accessible to everyone.

They are looking for a super-smart, highly analytical and creative thinker to join their team as Financial Product Manager. One of their financial products is essentially an index fund with an ESG overlay, and you’d be responsible for the conceptual thinking and idea generation to power/optimize their algorithm, and then work with their tech team to implement your thinking. You’d be in the thick of it, directly influencing their IP. Experience in a highly analytical role at an asset management fund/investment management fund is required, but experience in (software) product management is not (but an interest in PM is definitely a plus). This is a great opportunity to join a mission-oriented startup well-positioned for success and to get in on the ground floor before they take off!

Hinge

Hinge is the dating app that’s great at one thing: setting you up on great dates. That’s why they learn your type based on the people you like, show off your personality with icebreaker prompts, and let you know who likes you so you can easily start a conversation. So if you’re looking for a BFF, a job, a pen pal, or a hookup, Hinge isn’t the place for you. Hinge is the dating app made for dating, and they’re good at what they do. On Hinge, 3 out of 4 first dates lead to second dates, and they’re the #1 dating app mentioned in The New York Times wedding section. (Source: AngelList)

This Small Interview Mistake Will Keep You From Getting the Job

If you’re familiar at all with how we work here at Scouted, you know that we put a lot of effort into being your job search liaison. Not only do we match you to great career opportunities, but we also share resume advice, help with job interview prep, and even help you navigate job offer negotiations.

We also act as liaisons for our partner companies, making sure both candidates and companies are all on the same page during hiring processes. In the midst of this, we tend to hear a lot of feedback on how interviews went, both from candidates and hiring managers.

Recently, we received feedback that we’ve heard before…, and we thought it was worth talking about.

After an interview, a hiring manager told us that the candidate “seem[ed] to be running away from her current company, not towards a new job/company.”

As candidates, it can be easy to think that if your resume and past experiences align with a job description, then you’re checking all the boxes on the hiring managers’ list.

That’s not always the case.

Seem harsh?

It may seem that way, especially to someone who is trying to get out of an unpleasant situation at work. But think of it this way…

Demonstrate a passion for the company

In a hiring manager’s position, they have to select one candidate out of five, ten, maybe twenty interviewees. If all other interviewees seem excited about joining the company and one or two give the impression that this is just another interview to get out of their current job, all things being equal, a hiring manager will ten out of ten times choose the candidate who is excited to join their company.

This company is the hiring manager’s livelihood. It may even be the company they started. As much as you’re worried about getting the job, a hiring manager is worried about you being the right fit and staying on for the long haul.

Show excitement for the role

We have all sorts of roles on Scouted. Anything from a CEO/Founder at a brand new startup to administrative positions at the largest hedge fund in the world, and many in-between. For the latter, we have many candidates with great backgrounds interview because the role is an awesome learning opportunity, not necessarily because the role is what they’d like to do long-term. Which is completely ok. However, we remind our candidates that it’s extremely important that they don’t go into an interview acting as if the role is a stepping stone.

Even in the most entry-level positions, hiring managers want to see that the candidate they hire is excited about the job itself. This candidate may be replacing someone whose work had been lagging, or they may be hiring someone into a totally new position. In either case, finding a candidate with passion for the role is of the utmost importance. And like we said before, if nine out of ten candidates seem excited about the job and you’re the one who’s… “Meh…” you probably won’t get an offer.

Speak positively about your previous employer

You may have heard this advice a lot, but it’s worth repeating here. Even if you had a bad experience with your previous employer, talk about the positive things you took away from the experience. It may feel disingenuous (because your previous experience really was horrible), but a hiring manager has no way to verify the negative information you’re sharing or to know that you weren’t actually the problem in the relationship. And, considering the hiring manager could be your next boss, they may be wary of the same issues happening again.

With that being said, talk about what you learned from your previous position, projects you completed, the growth you contributed to, and then about your excitement for the future and what you hope to learn at your new company in your new role.

So how can you show excitement?

One simple way to show your excitement about a role and a company is to do your research! Come with at least some understanding of what the company does and how you can help in their mission. Also come to your interview with specific questions about what the company needs, their culture, and how you can contribute to their success. When your interviewer asks, “Why should we hire you?” be prepared with a great, specific answer about how your skills will add to the company.

Also, feel free to simply say, “I’m excited!”

Why You Should Start Your Job Search With Companies, Not Titles

For most anyone, the typical job search process starts like this:

You take the experience you have and figure out the types of jobs where it would be a good fit. It might be the same type of role you had before, something slightly different where your skills still apply, or maybe you’re looking for something entirely new.

Whatever the case, we almost always start our job search with – you guessed it – the job. Our hopeful next job title is what we type into job search engines and what we CTRL + F to find on company websites.

But what if we started to think about our job search differently?

What if we looked at it from another angle?

Here’s what we’re proposing:

Why not start your job search with the company?

Essentially, what we mean by this is that candidates should narrow down a shortlist of companies you’d ideally like to work for rather than job titles. Doing this can essentially change the entire feel of your job search and might even help you land a great job. Here’s why.

You show your excitement for the company

We talk about showing excitement a lot. It’s really important to hiring managers! If you have a company on your list that you’d love to work for, check out the positions they may be hiring for and if any seem like a good fit for you. Even if you don’t see any, try proactively reaching out to a hiring manager or company recruiter letting them know that you would love to join their company. Be sure to mention why the company is specifically exciting to you and why you’d love to be a part of it. Also be sure to generally list your skills and experience (keep this brief in your email) and attach your resume. Lastly, be sure to ask for an interview to talk about available positions at the company.

Check out this email example:

“Dear Mr./Ms. Hiring Manager,
I’m writing today because for a long time, I have admired the work and mission of Company Name. Here is where you might insert a couple specific things you love like something you saw in the news or congratulating a startup on a recent round of funding.
In 2015 I graduated with an MBA from Boston University and went on to work for a small, boutique company where I was able to make a difference from day one. While there, I was able to develop an entrepreneurial and collaborative mindset that helped our company reach a 20% increase in annual revenue. If you’d like to see more details of my experience, I’ve attached my resume to this email.
I would love the opportunity to set up a time to visit with you to get your insight and suggestions on where my skills and abilities would be put to use at Your Company and to explore job openings.
Please see below for my contact information and I look forward to speaking with you soon!
Sincerely,
Your Name
Contact information”

By sending an email like this, you’re showing the hiring manager, CEO, whoever, that you’re passionate about their company. This is something that hiring managers are always looking for and it’s the and it’s the # 1 thing we see candidates get turned down for after an interview.

Passion is huge and you never know what doors it may open, which brings us to our next point.

You may be a great fit for a different role

Once you get your foot in the door, be sure to reiterate your love for the company, specifically. During interview preps, we often tell candidates to not simply seem excited about working at *a* hedge fund or *a* startup. We tell them to think of the reasons for why they’re excited to work at *this* hedge fund or *this* startup. It makes a big difference during your job interview and hirings managers will notice.

Let’s say that the company isn’t currently hiring for the typical job title you’d apply for. Don’t sweat it. If you’re able to show your excitement and communicate your soft skills or transferrable skills, they may very well be open to finding something that is available where you could still be a good fit. Hiring managers know that it can be hard to get top talent who’s also passionate in the door and if you’re both of those things, they probably won’t let you walk away that easily.

And hey, even if there isn’t anything available for you at the moment, that’s ok too. By being proactive and leaving your information behind, you’re doing what you can to let the company know that you’re a great option when a job does open up.

Last but not least, be proactive in following up with the company every few months to see if there are any new job openings. It doesn’t hurt to bring your name top of mind to an employer every now and then, even if you’re currently employed.

How to Quit Your Job the Right Way

Quitting a job is usually awkward and filled with uncomfortable moments and grey areas. We want to help you navigate how to quit a job the best way possible because, even if you haven’t had to already, quitting a job is probably something you’ll have to do at some point in your life.

We often picture quitting a job like a Hollywood scene where the promotion one should have gotten after years of hard work ends up going to the physically blessed, junior employee and the underappreciated, deserving employee storms out with the perfectly crafted “gotcha” speech.

Quitting that way would be more interesting, however, in the real world, the people we currently work with are our connections, and we never know how leaving a job might affect future opportunities.

That being the case, we have a few tips below on how to leave a job gracefully. Take a look before writing up your resignation letter, you don’t want to miss something important.

Don’t tell your colleagues about your plans to leave before you tell your manager (and your manager’s manager).

It might be tempting, but it’s best practice to hold off on letting your work buddies know you’re leaving until after having a conversation with your boss. Worst case scenario, someone lets your resignation slip before you have a chance to share the news which will make for an awkward, blind-siding situation between you and the leadership team. Play it safe and keep your resignation on the DL until you and your supervisor can share it with your coworkers together.

Be as transparent as possible about your plans to leave

Sure, you’re probably not going to tell your boss when you’re looking for a new job, but as soon as your actual plans to leave are set in stone, be sure to be open with your boss and not wait until the last minute (or last two weeks, for that matter) to let them know you’re leaving.

Quit in person

Of course, resigning from a job is probably going to feel uncomfortable,but that’s not an excuse to share your departure over email. That’s on the same level as breaking up with your ex over text. Safe to say you might not be on great terms with your boss afterwards. The first step of quitting is always having a talk with your supervisor.

Give at least two weeks notice

Two weeks notice is the absolute minimum amount of notice you should give when quitting a job. While it can be hard to stay motivated in your role after already turning in your resignation, what you need to ask yourself is this: “How hard will I be to replace?”

Say you’re in a position where you wear many hats or hold a lot of responsibility. In that case, you should probably reserve almost a month (or more) giving your company time to find a replacement and leaving you time to help train them during the transition. If you’re in a junior position and it wouldn’t be that hard for someone to learn what you do, two weeks notice is probably fine – but this is a critical conversation that you should have with your manager.

Train your replacement

Whether you’re an entry-level employee or a high-level executive, this is something you should always offer to do after resigning from a role. At the very least, it will help your employer not feel as though they’re being hung out to dry and really appreciate the help.

Any time you resign from a role, it’s important to show you are grateful for the opportunity you had. Being empathetic to their situation is not only the right thing to do, but it will enable you to figure out the best transition plan possible – one that ensures you leave on a good note with your manager and team.

Pro tip: Even before you plan on leaving a role (which, if you’re reading this, it might be too late, but good to keep in mind) it’s a great idea to keep a running “playbook” of how to do your job. Once you learn something or have mastered a task, add it to the playbook. If your departure falls before the new person arrives, outline your day-to-day, monthly, quarterly, and high-level responsibilities, as well as any institutional knowledge you (or your manager) might view as important to share. This way, when the time comes for you to find another job, half the training work for your replacement has already been done!

Write a two weeks notice letter

While it’s important to have an initial conversation with your boss(es) about your plans to quit, you’ll also need to write a formal resignation letter.

Every resignation letter needs these four things:

A statement that literally states you’re going to resign
A short explanation of why you are leaving
The date of your last day of work
A brief thank you

Here’s an example:

Dear Mr. Smith,
Please accept this letter as a formal notice of my resignation from my role of Business Development Associate at Your Company. My last day of work will be November 7, 2020.
I’ve recently received an offer to work as a Business Support Coordinator at XYZ Company and after consideration, I’ve decided to pursue this new role.
I can’t thank you enough for the opportunity to work at Your Company for the last 3 years. I have learned many new skills that I know will aid me in my next role. [Feel free to add something personal here].
During the transition, I would be happy to assist in finding and training my replacement if that would be helpful.
I wish you and the company continued success and hope to stay in touch in the future.
Sincerely,
You

Finish strong

Like we said, it can be difficult to find the motivation to work hard until the end of your notice, especially if you’re excited to get out of your current situation. That being said, it’s important to leave on a ~~good~~ great note and finishing strong will help enormously with that. The nice thing is, your days probably won’t look like a typical work day as you may be tasked with finding and training your replacement.

Say goodbye to your teammates

Ah, the farewell. Again, it’s all about leaving on a good note. Even if you’re keen on a nice and quiet goodbye, this really is a time where you shouldn’t leave any loose ends and saying goodbye – simply put – is a classy touch.

Even after a farewell party (if you’re lucky enough to have one) on your last day of work, be sure to write a goodbye email thanking your coworkers for being great to work with and how you hope to keep in touch. Hopefully you mean it, but if not, at least it’s a nice touch. And make sure to share your personal email with the team so that people can reach you after you leave!

In conclusion,

It’s always extremely important to leave a job on the best terms possible.

We honestly can’t stress this enough. You never know when you may need a former boss or coworker as a reference or if they’re a connection with someone at a company you will want to work for down the road.

What to Do While You’re Waiting for a Job Offer

You got the call, went on your best interview yet and sent a courtesy follow-up email thanking the potential employer for the interview opportunity.

Now, the waiting game begins.

One day, two days pass, and you receive no callback or reply. You might start to feel nervous and hit the refresh button in your email a few times.

Everybody goes through the agonizing waiting period. While you’re going through yours, here are a few pitfalls you should try to avoid during the post-interview stage, and some tips to make the most of it. We like to think of them as four power plays you could make during the waiting game that can reduce anxiety and help you stay focused on what’s really important: finding your next best career move.

Don’t obsessively contact your potential employer

Is following up good? Yes. Can you do it more than once? Sure.

Following up with potential employers is great and can be really useful (more on that later), but there’s also something to be said for leaving a little something to be desired.

You may have heard the rumor that candidates who are currently employed will come off as more desirable for a role. This thought goes even further for those who may unintentionally make themselves look desperate by trying to contact a hiring manager too often.

As a general rule of thumb, after your interview, you should contact an employer three times before hearing back: 1). When sending a thank you note within 24 hours of your interview, 2). Following up a week after your interview, and 3). Following up 1-2 weeks after your last attempt to contact the company. After this, it’s probably best to move on to more promising opportunities than to spend more time pursuing an unresponsive company.

Don’t assume the job will be yours

After a great interview, it’s easy to overestimate your chances of landing a new job. There are many factors at play behind the scenes that go into a final hiring decision. Unfortunately, you have no idea how many other applicants are in the running for the same position or their unique qualifications. Secondly, you do not know if the potential employer is actually seeking to fill the position or is simply soliciting qualified candidates in the event the position needs to be filled.

Don’t put in a resignation notice to your current employer until you’ve received an official offer (in writing) from a potential employer and have finished your negotiations. Keep applying for other positions and going on interviews when invited throughout your job search. The only certainty is that nothing is certain when it comes to job hunting until it’s in writing.

Don’t string along potential employers

We like to tell candidates that options have inherent value. If you’re given an offer, it’s ok to let a company know that you have another interview lined up and you’d like to weigh your options. Your transparency will probably be appreciated. Just try to give the company a timeline of when they can expect to hear from you and then stick to it. If you need more time, keep the lines of communication open and let your interviewer know. One of the worst things you could do is ghost the company until you know what you’re doing. Do your best to leave a good taste in any potential employers mouth, not a sour one. You never know if they might have a place in your future career.

If you do have to turn down a company who offered you a position, try to do it as soon as you’re sure. Politely thank the potential employer and let them know that, though you are appreciative of the opportunity to interview, you are no longer interested in being considered for the position. Be willing to consider any counter-offers made by the potential employer (more money, better working hours, etc.) but do not expect them. Avoid ‘calling their bluff’ by turning down a potential employer in anticipation for a counter-offer, as this may result in you barring your chances for a job that may have been a great fit.

Do keep the relationship “warm”

While there’s something to be said for looking “desirable” to an employer (ie. doing your best to not seem desperate after sending your twentieth follow up email), you may be surprised to hear that a lot of hiring manager actually find follow up emails helpful.

If you think about their job from day-to-day, they spend a lot of their time in meetings, writing and following up to emails, interviewing candidates. So just because it may take them a while to respond to your job application, it doesn’t actually mean you’ve been kicked to the can. Your email may have just gotten lost in the shuffle of a busy week.

So, do write a follow-up email. Just make sure that you’re polite. Try to give the hiring manager the benefit of the doubt. Let them know how excited you are about the role and the company, and that you’re available to talk more when they’re free.

[sc name=“Newsletter”]

Do continue your job search

You may have had an interview at your dream company, but that doesn’t mean you should throw the extra copies of your resume in the trash. If you come across another job listing that catches your eye, go ahead and apply. Attend interviews if you’re invited to them, even if you’re unsure about your fit for the role. An interview is a two-way conversation and you’re at no obligation to commit to a company after meeting with them one or even a few times.

The point here is to keep your options open. The hiring process can be a long one and if it turns out that you don’t get the role you had your hopes set on, you’re going to find yourself starting your job search again from square one.

Do give yourself time to make your next best move

Before handing in the towel with your current employer, allow yourself some time to decide whether or not the position would actually be your next best move.

Respond to your potential employer within 24 hours of your acceptance notice, thanking them for the opportunity and letting them know you will respond within three days. If you are waiting to hear back regarding a more desirable position, here is your chance for making a power move. If you are more interested in a potential employer than the one who has offered you a position, let the potential employer know you’ve been offered a position with a different company who is waiting for a response. Politely inform the company that you are interested in working for them and proactively ask what you can do to expedite the process.

Do your research

When applying for new jobs, it is important to do research into the companies you’re seeking out as potential employers.

There’s a lot of resume advice out there. Some good, a lot bad. Why not take some advice from people who help you get jobs?

Makes sense to us.

We spend a lot of our time reviewing resumes in order to match candidates to great jobs. And doing so, we’ve come up with a simplified list of some of the top mistakes we see all the time. We often get on the phone with candidates and ask them to tweak some of these resume mistakes and see them go on to land amazing jobs.

Are you making any of the mistakes listed below? Read on to find out!

Typos and grammatical errors

Ok, yes, everyone knows this one but we had to include it because it is a huge deal breaker. It’s understood that resumes are looked-over and polished 100 times before sending them to employers, and if you miss a mistake on your resume, the notion is that you’ll probably miss mistakes at work, too.

Try this: before sending your resume to employers, have a family member or friend read over it first. It’s not always easy to catch your own mistakes, but a friend will have a fresh set of eyes.

Listing duties instead of accomplishments

Copy and pasting your previous job descriptions on your resume isn’t going to do you any favors. Nothing about that helps you to stand out and it also doesn’t tell employers what you accomplished while on the job.

Instead, try thinking of the differences you made while working at your previous job. Did you streamline any processes, take on big projects, or manage a team? Write about it!

Not including strong data/number/performance indicators where appropriate

Going off of our last point, it’s a great idea to keep a list of personal metrics on hand to include within your resume later. Say you grew the revenue your team generated by 20% last year, that’s impressive – include it! Maybe you created 15 new processes that streamlined business functions – add it!

What we’re saying here is that numbers stand out. They tell future employers exactly what you accomplished in the past and what you can potentially do for them in the future. So, if you can include your own personal metrics on your resume, do it!

Failure to tailor your resume to the job description

Most people don’t just apply to jobs with a singular job title. Say you’re coming from an account management role and would be happy to land a new job in account management, but you’d also be open to roles in project management. While your experience hasn’t changed, your resume typically should (unless you’re applying from Scouted where we tell employers why you’d be a great fit for either role).

The thing is, if someone who’s hiring for a project management role reads a resume who seems like they’re actually looking for an account management role, that’s an easy way to get filtered out of a resume pile. Instead, do your best to tailor your resume to the job you’re applying for. Take a deep look at the job description to see how it would work within your resume.

Making your resume too long

The rule of thumb here at Scouted is that if you have less than 10 years experience, keep your resume to one page. In fact, we’ve seen employers automatically turn down people with less than 10 years of experience with over 1 page resumes.

Even if you feel like you have a lot of information you want an employer to know about you (much) more often than not, a resume that’s over 1 page simply seems to ramble about things that aren’t particularly relevant to the job you’re applying for.

Instead, as we stated above, tailor your resume to the job you’re applying to and if some of your previous experience isn’t relevant, think about either leaving it off or cutting down that section to make more room for your experience that is relevant.

Founder tip: The space you allocate on your resume should be proportionate to your time spent at a job. Think – more real estate for places you were at for a longer time, gained the most experience, etc.

Adding an irrelevant “skills” section

This is often one of the unimportant sections that make a resume run longer than it should. In this day and age, most employers will assume that you know basic computer functions, so feel free to leave Microsoft Excel off your resume. And, you may have great leadership skills, but if you’ve mentioned how you’ve lead teams and made a difference in your workplace in the experience section above, a hiring manager will gather that themselves rather than taking your word for it in the “Skills” section of your resume.

When should you have a skills section on a resume?

We typically tell candidates that special certificates and training can be mentioned in the “Skills” section. If that’s not you, better just leave it off. However, a “Skills” section can actually be really important for technical resumes to show the languages/programs you know and can also be useful if you’re concerned about being picked up by ATS (applicant tracking systems).

The main idea here is that you want to include programs/products/skills that are unique and make you stand out versus simply saying you know how to use email and write in Word.

Not using strong action words

It’s no secret that hiring managers are looking for effective people to join their teams. if you start each of your experience descriptions with “Worked on…”, “Was responsible for…” none of your experience will seem exciting or particularly unique to hiring managers. Instead, start each job experience section with a strong action word that describes what you accomplished in your previous role. Need some help thinking of strong action words? Check out this list, here.

Poor formatting

We get it, it can be easy to overthink your resume and try to do anything possible to make it stand out. We’re here to say that, unless you are going after a creative role, try to keep the formatting of your resume simple and easy to read. In fact, our founders have reviewed hundreds of thousands of resumes and this resume template is their favorite. Why not try it on for size?

Founder tip: Save your resume and share it as a PDF. This ensures your resume will look the way you intended it for all audiences.

An objective or summary section

We’ll keep this section short and sweet. An objective or resume summary section is basically a reiteration of your cover letter. Summary sections tend to be useful in 2 cases. 1) you have a non-linear career path and you need to synthesize your story to make it clear to the reader and 2) if you want to switch careers. If neither of these situations apply to you, it’s probably best to leave it off. It’s simply another section distracting from your experience and unnecessarily lengthening your resume.

Not telling a clear story or career path

What many job seekers don’t realize is that hiring managers read resumes to get a clear picture of a candidate’s career path. They want to know why you want the job.

So, before submitting your resume to job boards, read over it to see if your career path makes sense. Have a friend do the same. See if it makes sense to them that you’re applying for the roles you’re applying to. If it doesn’t make sense, I try mirroring some of the language in the job descriptions you’re applying to. Ask yourself how your experience would make you great at those jobs. If you’re able to communicate that, that your resume will make much more sense.

Bonus founder tips from Jax:

Add taglines for companies you worked for that are not well known or “brand names.” Ie. if you worked for Chelsea & Associates, a hiring manager will probably have no idea what industry that’s in. So, on your resume, try writing something like Chelsea & Associates A Boutique Law Firm to give hiring managers more context to your experience.
If you can, add a hobby or interest section to make yourself stand out as more human to hiring managers. It may feel like a breath of fresh air after sorting through 100s of resumes.

Have you ever submitted your resume through a career website, only to receive an email a few minutes later to say that your application is no longer being considered for the position?

If so, you may have been a victim of the dreaded applicant tracking system.

According to research by Jobscan, 99% of Fortune 500 companies use applicant tracking systems, or ATS. These systems are popular with businesses of all sizes because they are designed to sift through a large quantity of job applications and rank which ones are best suited for a particular position, before a hiring manager even looks at a single resume.

When applying for jobs, you may have been directed to a website with a URL that contains the words Workday, Taleo, or iCIMS. These are some of the most popular ATS. When you upload your resume into an ATS, it scans the document in a digital database to determine if it’s a match for the employer’s desired qualifications. But these systems can be finicky, and one small resume mistake could cost you a shot at getting the job.

The good news is that it’s possible to adapt your resume to be ATS-friendly, ultimately increasing its chance of being seen by human eyes. Start by following these six rules for optimizing your digital resume.

Keep the format simple

You might think that using graphics or a colorful design for your resume would put you ahead of the pack. And that’s possible if a hiring manager is reviewing the resume, but your plan could backfire if it has to go through an ATS first. Research from TopResume found that 21% of resumes include graphics or charts that an ATS cannot read. Instead, keep your resume to one or two simple sheets of white paper and choose a basic font like Times New Roman or Helvetica–no frills needed. If you’re not sure how to format it properly, you can try Scouted’s recommended resume template.

Incorporate keywords based on the job description and industry

The way an ATS determines if your resume is a good match for the job is by scanning the text for relevant keywords. Keywords usually refer to a specific skill (“Javascript”), educational background (“journalism”), or previous position (“marketing manager”). You can get a good sense of what the keywords for the job are by looking at the job description. Note what the employer is asking for in the “Qualifications” section and see what’s on the list of job responsibilities. From there, you can adapt your resume to incorporate the words and phrases that appear frequently.

However, don’t “stuff” your resume with keywords. Using them once — or twice, if it’s an essential part of the job — will suffice. In addition, if you use industry-related acronyms in your resume, the ATS might only be calibrated to pick up on the full spelling of the word or phrase. It’s best practice to include both (such as “UX Designer” and “User-Experience Designer”).

Tailor your resume to the specific job

Remember how incorporating keywords is crucial? This means using a generic resume for all job applications is unlikely to get you very far because it won’t include the keywords for that specific company. This is especially true if you include an “Overview” or “Summary” section at the top of your resume. You won’t have to rewrite your resume from scratch every time, but minor modifications could make a huge difference.

Use section headers

Organizing your resume according to common headers like “Education,” “Work Experience,” and “Skills” signals to the ATS what keywords to look for in each section. There’s no need to get creative with your section headers (“Academic Background,” etc), since this will only confuse the algorithm. Furthermore, the “Skills” section is a great way to include a list of your qualifications that don’t necessarily fit into your previous employment experience or education, such as if you’ve taught yourself Photoshop but not used it in your college major or previous jobs.

Proofread

An ATS will only pick up on exact keywords, not close matches. If you’ve misspelled an important word, you’re out of luck. So relying on a spell checker isn’t enough. Ask a friend, a teacher, or a family member with eagle eyes to read through your resume. You can also read it out loud to make sure everything flows properly.

Follow the directions to upload

Finally, when the ATS requests that you upload your resume, make sure you use one of the accepted file types. Usually this will be a Microsoft Word document or a PDF (we always recommend saving your resume as a PDF so it always appears the way you intended). If you try to upload a file that isn’t supported, then your application is over before it was even submitted. You can use a free online converter if necessary.
Don’t let your resume be part of the 75% that’s filtered out by an ATS. By putting in a little additional work on your resume at the outset, you can greatly increase your chance of advancing through the application process and landing the interview.

Here at Scouted, we’ve always believed that you’re more than your resume. And that foundational value has driven how we’ve built our entire company, platform, and product. That’s why we give you the opportunity to complete a Virtual Interview as part of your holistic profile, to help you show off your talents, personality, and potential.

Until now, candidates who’ve not completed a Virtual Interview haven’t had the chance to apply to jobs on Scouted. But we recently re-evaluated. Since the last thing we want is to inhibit great candidates from finding amazing jobs, we’ve streamlined our onboarding process and made our Virtual Interview optional.

You might still be wondering: if the Virtual Interview is an integral representation of Scouted’s values, why are we making it optional?

We’re all about empowering you to tell your story, your way.

At the end of the day, you know yourself better than anyone else. That’s why we’re still giving you the option to complete your virtual interview, only if you want to. It’ll unlock ALL of our jobs, and, more importantly, it also significantly increases your chances of landing an interview with our partner companies.

Below, we’ve detailed a few key benefits of completing the Scouted Virtual Interview and why it will help you land that awesome job…

Unlock all jobs at Scouted

The first benefit of completing your Scouted Virtual Interview is pretty obvious – it unlocks all jobs on Scouted! While many of our partner companies allow candidates to apply to roles without a Scouted Virtual Interview, several of our high-profile partner companies require it – they find the Virtual Interview extremely valuable in getting to know the candidates on their rosters. Many hiring managers also use the Scouted Virtual Interview to replace their initial phone screen, so it can also expedite your interview process!

Increases your chances of being selected for an interview for any/all jobs

Candidates on Scouted who complete their virtual interview are 58% more likely to be selected for an interview with our partner companies. Like we mentioned above, our partner companies value the Scouted Virtual Interview as a way to get to know candidates on a deeper level. It helps hiring managers make better decisions by providing more information beyond a resume by enabling them to virtually meet you (at their convenience).

Say a startup is looking to hire an operations manager and you’ve been in Financial Services your whole life but are looking to break into the startup world. From your Scouted Virtual Interview, a hiring manager has a chance to get a sense of your interpersonal skills, process orientation, as well as your grit. They can get insight into why you want to change careers and how your previous experience is transferable and relevant to other industries and functions.

Lets you control your narrative

As a candidate, your first goal is to get yourself to the interview stage with your top companies, and your main tool to do that is your resume. Most companies get inundated with applicants, and the average hiring manager spends roughly 6 seconds(!!) on each resume. If you’re worried about hiring managers making the wrong assumptions from your resume and/or overlooking your individual talents and story, your Scouted Virtual Interview provides a way around that.

Our unique five-question Virtual Interview is intentional and thoughtful: Our questions probe for grit, tenacity, interpersonal skills, and other key factors of potential success – factors that don’t always come across on a resume. We see way too much talent get overlooked for opportunities because they didn’t attend the *right* school or didn’t have the *right* former title and we realized how much both candidates and companies were missing out. We want you to be in control of the story you tell, and your Scouted Virtual Interview empowers you to do that.

My career path makes sense, but I want to stand out

Even if you’re not worried about the story your resume tells because, to be honest, your career progression makes perfect sense – it’s linear, logical, and impressive – your scouted virtual interview can be what sets you apart from the rest.

It puts a face to a name and a story that goes beyond a piece of paper. It helps you add an additional dimension to a standard job application by humanizing you and bringing your story to life.

The choice is yours

Here at Scouted, we’re all about empowering you to tell your story, your way. If you feel like you can do that without completing your Virtual Interview, we get it! Just look for the Scouted job postings without the video logo. We value you as a candidate – and we respect that you’ve opted to not complete the Scouted Virtual Interview.

Like I said before, at the end of the day, you know yourself better than anyone! We’re just here to help guide you in your job search. We’re excited to offer job opportunities to even more candidates than before – and we’re equally committed to supporting you along your career journey in whatever way we can.

Whether you are changing careers or simply wanting to add another dimension to the standard job application – the Scouted virtual interview lets you control your narrative and, it helps us tell your story the way you want it to be told.

Happy applying!

Cheers,

Jax

Tips for Working Remotely During COVID-19

COVID-19 is leaving both employees and employers with questions on how they should continue working while staying, and keeping others, safe and healthy. If your company’s decided to work remotely for the time being, here are some tips for how to carry on your work as usual, while working from home.

Over-communicate

It’s not a surprise that working remotely can feel as though certain means of accountability fall to the wayside. Not making direct eye contact with your manager might mean they forget about that project you owe them. And it might feel like not a big deal to postpone meetings or deadlines because I simply feel more arbitrary when working remotely.

As an employee who’s been working remotely full time for 2 years now, the best piece of advice I can give any remote team is to over-communicate.

These days, companies often have messaging systems to communicate interdepartmentally. These systems become especially important when your team no longer shares an office. If you’re used to working in an office, it may take some time to get used to communicating more via messaging apps or email but It’s crucial to staying in sync and on top of goals as a team.

While over-communicating may sound like more work, you’ll actually find that being completely transparent and timely in your communication will save your team world of headaches, miscommunications, and dropped balls down the road.

Video conferencing is your best friend

Leading from our last point, not everything is communicated perfectly over messaging apps. Don’t be afraid to hop on quick 5-minute video calls with your team to get on the same page.

Companies should do their best to set the standard that video calls among teams don’t need to be perfect or polished. This way, teams are much more likely to feel as though they can ask for a short call with a manager or coworker without feeling like they’re imposing or asking for a lot.

Aside from being great for communication, video conferencing is a great way to lift morale and feel connected to your company as a whole. Teams can even take this a step further by creating team bonding initiatives, even working remotely. Since writing this blog, our team has decided to work remotely for the time being but still plan to keep up the team spirit by:

Keeping up with our Friday Scouted Tunes (our collaborative weekly Spotify playlist)
Continuing to provide Tuesday team lunches
Planning themed/spirit days
Organizing a simultaneous podcast stream & team-wide discussion

(Ideas courtesy of our Co-founder, Jax).

Structure and defined expectations are crucial

There are two types of structure we’re talking about when it comes to working remotely: the structure you set for yourself throughout your day and week, and the structure your company sets for itself and its departments. Like we said while working remotely it can be easy for assignments to fall to the wayside because of a feeling of less accountability.

The thing is, if you want to do your job the very best you can, it should be your desire to set up accountability and structure for yourself in order to do that. Don’t wait until your manager asks you if you’ve completed a project. Schedule regular meetings with them and be proactive about holding yourself accountable so others don’t need to do it for you.

As a remote employee, I have meetings with my manager at the start and end of each week. One meeting to sync on my goals for the week and the latter meeting to talk about what actually got done, where I might need help, and how I’m feeling about the projects I’m working on. For me, this has been really helpful to set very clear expectations for the week and to know that there will be helpful accountability at the end. It helps me create small, achievable goals that are broken down into realistic segments that I can complete from week to week.

From working remotely, I’ve learned that accountability isn’t scary or annoying, it helps us achieve more. I’ve also learned that creating large goals for each quarter and then breaking them down by tasks for each month and week is a great way to get big things done without feeling overwhelmed.

There’s a very good chance that if you’re reading this, your company has decided to work remotely or has at least talked about the possibility. Do you have concerns with working remotely or are you up for the challenge? Leave your thoughts in the comments below and we’ll do our best to respond!

COVID-19 and Your Career: What Are Your Next Steps?

Today, most of us are sitting down to our computers just beginning this work from home transition, all the while COVID-19 email updates stream in from companies we love (and some we forgot about) and news updates of businesses closing their doors and schools closing ping on our phones.

Personally, I’m juggling working from my kitchen table trying to get the same amount of work done while my kids (whose school has been canceled for the foreseeable future) watch Frozen 2 on repeat. It could be worse.

I believe the hardest part of this transition right now is figuring out how to conduct “business as usual” in a situation that’s completely new to the world as we know it. We have a lot of questions, like:

Will my job still function the same?
Am I still prioritizing the right goals?
I’m looking for a job – are companies still hiring?
I recently accepted a new job, will they rescind my offer?

But as Anna reminds me in the background, all we can do in our current situation is “the next right thing.”

If you’re still wondering what that is, we’ve come up with a list of suggested first steps for you to take during this transition. Hopefully, they’ll provide some direction and clarity and be helpful to you in the days to come.

If you’re working, connect with your manager

There’s a lot of confusion right now, across every industry. Even though you won’t be working alongside your team for the time being, it’s now more important than ever to sync on what your team’s goals should be over the next several months. Schedule time to get clear on what goals or KPIs need to change, what’s staying the same, and how often you’ll check in with each other throughout the process.

If you were just hired, connect with your manager

You might be finding yourself just hired at a new company but faced with a world of questions. Is the position you were hired for still needed? How will onboarding work? Will your start date be pushed back?

If you’ve yet to start your new job, now is the time to reach out to your recruiting manager for updates. Don’t waste time by running through all the “what-ifs” in your head or stressing over questions that simply need clarification. Instead, reach out to your hiring/recruiting manager and ask for updates and transparency as to how their company is handling hiring and onboarding and what that means for your position.

Also, do your best to be empathic to their situation and mention that you totally understand if they are working through the particulars; but, don’t be afraid to be proactive so you can get the information you need to be reassured.

If you’re looking for a job, know that companies are still hiring

Of course the state of companies hiring depends a lot on their industry but we want to tell you as a recruiting company, companies are still hiring. So if you were on the job hunt before, we want you to know there’s still hope. Keep applying!

If you’re interviewing, be communicative

Scouted works as a liaison between companies and candidates. That being the case, we’ve had to remind both companies and candidates who are “in-process” (interviewing) to still do their best to be responsive and transparent about their situation. If you need to reschedule a video or phone interview because you’re focused on getting settled after COVID-19 work or school transitions, that’s ok! Just be sure to let the appropriate people know and follow up as soon as you’re able.

Make time for self-care

Probably just as important as making time for self-care is realizing that self-care will most likely look different for now. Instead of heading to the gym or making a pedicure appointment, self-care might look like a creative home workout, a Facetime call with family, or ordering in from your favorite restaurant. While everyone is forced to be cooped up at home, self-care might simply be making a virtual social connection when you need to.

Whatever the case, make sure to take time to fill up your cup each day. No one can pour from an empty cup.

Refine your video skills

Now more than ever, being able to communicate well via phone or video is going to be extremely important. As we said, many job interviews are still happening via phone or video so this means you’ll need to come across as eloquent on camera as you are in person.

Depending on how familiar you are with taking selfies, this could take some practice. On the bright side, you’ll probably get more practice with video calls whether you wanted to or not. Here’s to learning new skills.

Create a sense of community by helping where you can

We can react to uncertain times in many different ways. One the one hand, feelings of anxiety and confusion are completely normal. On the other hand, we can feel desperate to see the good. At the risk of sounding extraordinarily cliche, now is a chance for us to “be the change [we] wish to see in the world.”

This attitude can permeate many areas in our life and our job search or relationship with our coworkers is no exception. During the next few months, if you feel inspired to do so, don’t be afraid to offer extra help to your coworkers, bosses, and even hiring managers with whom you have a working relationship. It is possible to be your own source of encouragement, as well as others’, during uncertain times and you never know who you may inspire along the way.

We want to hear from you! How are you handling the work from home transition? What does your makeshift home office look like? Do you have any questions about your job search in a COVID-19 world?

Leave your questions below and we’ll do our best to answer.
