Report

From what I understand, the system "reads or scans" the
information from AppliTrack according to what the
administrators sort for. And many if not most applications do
not even get read or looked at although they are a viable
candidate.

I realize there could be well over 100 applications for a
particular position, but when dealing with a computer and
people scanning for dates, words, whatever, how do I get my
application to make the sorting process and get looked at?

As I said in an earlier post, the few districts that use paper
resumes I have gotten a call for an interview. And have
received positive feedback.

Thanks,

Mia
