Brown Boy Goes to Law School

There’s a great CNN article you might want to read. Here’s something I found interesting:

Many hiring managers and HR departments are using new technology to review job candidates. Applicant tracking systems scan résumés and provide the managers with a ranking based on keywords in the document.

Among the terms employers searched for most often: “problem-solving and decision making skills,” “oral and written communication,” “customer service,” “retention,” “performance” and “productivity improvement,” “leadership,” “technology,” “team-building,” “project management” and “bilingual.”
