Who understands how to give smart answers to job interview questions better than a recruiter? Nobody!

Whenever you upload a resume to an online form or fill out a questionnaire during a job application, an ATS is tasked with making your information visible to employers -- or not.

Use Google to help you research potential employers (financial stability, competitors,
etc.) and to separate the good opportunities from the fake and not-so-good ones.
