Remember that Tupac song, “Only God Can Judge Me?” Well, when it comes to resumes, Tupac was wrong.

A web-based recruiting and hiring solution from Yahoo! has been judging people since before most of the Fresno State student body was born. Resumix was founded in 1988. Yahoo! bought out Resumix and renamed the software Hiring Gateway in 2002. Hiring Gateway has been picking out winner resumes and spitting out the rest ever since.

Resumix is a software program used by company recruiters and hiring managers. The Yahoo! patented technology extracts the best candidates from online databases. When a company is looking to hire, the employer can simply type in specific experience, skills, personality traits and academic requirements for a particular position.

Resumix electronically scans and sorts resumes that match the employers initial keyword search. The best resumes that fit the job description are pulled, photographed and printed, the rest are discarded.

So when your revamping your resume make sure to pull keywords from the companies web site and job description. Check out the Career Center for resume assistance. Tell ’em, The Collegian sent you.
