<description><![CDATA[Hello, 

I have been writing resumes personally for over 10 years, professionally for a few months.
I have been working with an executive-level client and received a message that I didn't quite understand.  My client claimed to have seen this message in multiple application portals: 

"We would like to know more about you so we can best find a job that fits you. Please add more details about yourself to your profile page. Currently, we search for candidates in two ways: 1) by searching your resume and 2) by searching the fields in your candidate profile. By completing the fields in your profile you increase the chances that our recruiters find your information in a candidate search."

When companies say they are finding candidates by "searching fields in your candidate profile/profile page", are they talking about LinkedIn profiles or is this a totally separate component of resume/cover letter writing? I am familiar with creating a "profile" at the top of resumes to really grab the eye of the recruiter quickly and succinctly, but I was unsure what this meant. Is this something specific to executive-level roles? 

Thank you for your insights/assistance with these industry terms!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["Fields" usually refers to the literal blocks (such as the one you typed your question into/I'm typing my response into) <br />Without seeing the application portals, I would assume that the application portals are requiring info be added to each box to accompany the documents they've uploaded.<br />I think the warning really means "hey - just because you uploaded a resume doesn't mean you can skip filling out all these boxes. Do everything or else we won't look at your application"<br /><br /> Have your client take a screen shot and send you what they're looking at, or go to the site and start to "apply" yourself. Then you'll get a sense for what is happen - and then you (on behalf of your client) can email whatever support department exists and ask them what they meant to be certain you understood. Obviously don't tell them who the client is; I reach out to people all the time on clients' behalf just to be sure I'm doing right by them and I have yet to be met with a negative response. ]]></description>
