A few tips when applying that could help you be successful in securing a phone interview:

• Make sure that your resume tells a story. Example bullet points could be something like, 'Outbound Sales, Prospecting, Scheduled demos' or they could sound more like 'Cold called 40 prospects per day, Hit and exceeded quota for 11 out of 12 months last year, Led the team in closed deals'. See the difference? The first few list responsibilities that everyone who performed that same job would list. The second set are specific to you. That difference makes a huge impact!
• Create a format that is easy to follow along. Your most recent experience should be at the top. Do not write long paragraphs, use bullet points.
• The resume itself should be in .pdf or .doc format. If the resume was formatted by Indeed, AI, or another source that was not you, it may decrease your chances in moving forward in our process. 
• We want to learn as much as we can about you, so don't try to minimize your experience to fit on one page if it doesn't allow enough room to include all your experience. The length of the resume depends on how much experience you have so if your resume is one page, great! 2 pages, also great!
