What is ATS?
99% of Fortune 500 companies use software to evaluate your resume. It becomes the hidden barrier between you and your dream job, and it prevents up to 95% of job applications from ever crossing the hiring manager’s desk: the Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
ATS is a software system that analyzes multiple components of a job application and passes along only the most promising applications to the hiring manager. Employers use ATS technology because it allows them to receive and process thousands of applications in a very short amount of time. Because the ATS rejects candidates automatically, employees only have to evaluate the most qualified applicants.
What’s Essential to Your Resume?
There are a few requirements for resumes to parse through Applicant Tracking Systems. It should always be created in a Word document or a Google Doc, then exported as a PDF. You should include your contact information, education, and your experiences where you highlight your skills and achievements.

What is AI Interviewing?
Quinncia’s interviewing feature offers tailored mock interviews and individualized feedback using artificial intelligence that helps you practice telling your story based on experiences on your resume.
Different from video interviewing, many employers are moving first-round interviews to AI-assisted interviews, where there isn’t a human on the other end, and instead questions are presented on the screen or audio. Using this mock interview system can also help you prepare your interview presence for eventual video interviews as well.
Practice Telling Your Story Using Interviews
When networking, interviewing, connecting with an employer, or speaking to a mentor, your story is what makes them interested in your accomplishments. If you communicate effectively about your experiences and achievements, they will see how you can be an asset to their organization.
Telling a story is both a science and an art. Each question requires its own approach to properly convey your message. Practicing is crucial for making your complicated experiences understandable and presenting them in an engaging manner.
With Quinn, you can practice as many times as you need to receive feedback and improve your story, increasing your chances of landing your dream job.
