Resume writer shares the trick to beating AI job filters
Amy Favro, a resume writer from the Central Coast, says keyword matching is the key to bypassing AI hiring filters.
Amy Favro was made redundant, then started helping friends and family with job applications. The demand grew so fast she launched Amlode Employment Services.
Amy Favro says companies now use AI to filter out resumes before a human ever sees them. The solution, she says, is keyword optimisation.
Your application needs to match the specific keywords and requirements listed in the job ad. Favro warns against relying too heavily on AI to write your entire resume, which employers can spot easily.
Instead, use AI for structure and keywords, but keep your own voice in the application. Common mistakes include overusing AI, just repeating your resume in the cover letter, and making resumes too long.
She has seen 20-page resumes; employers do not need to know about an unrelated apprenticeship from two decades ago.
