Thinking about moving up a level to a mid-level job? Applications and resumes are sent to the hiring manager through the Human Resources Department. They send your application and resume through the Applicant Tracking System. If all it checks out and you meet the minimum qualifications, then its sent to the hiring manager. The hiring manager skims the resume. I've been through the hiring process for my past staff members. Seriously, there is a 2-second skimming process before the hiring manager decides if you have the background, the skills, and work history desirable before actually reading your resume. If you do, then the review will be more detailed and comprehensive. The same process also goes for your application. So use your words wisely.
