Email to Recruiters and TA’s to avoid the ATS
I was on ChatGPT and GeminAI respectfully. I got these templates to email recruiters and TAs to avoid the ATS and stand out. I hope @Christina Smith and others to take a look a them and see if these are good.: Here's a draft email you can adapt to send to recruiters. This approach is direct and professional, focusing on the accessibility need without oversharing personal details. Subject: Resume Submission - [Your Name] - [Job Title You're Applying For] Dear [Recruiter's Name or "Hiring Team"], I am writing to express my strong interest in the [Job Title] position at [Company Name], which I saw advertised on [Platform where you saw the ad, e.g., LinkedIn, the company website]. Due to a neurodivergent disability, I find it challenging to use online application portals, which can often be a barrier to submitting my resume effectively. As a result, I am requesting an accommodation to submit my resume directly via email. I have attached my resume for your review. My skills in [Mention 1-2 key skills relevant to the job, e.g., "project management," "data analysis," "software development"] and my experience with [Mention 1-2 key experiences or qualifications, e.g., "leading cross-functional teams," "developing marketing strategies"] make me confident that I would be a great fit for this role. Thank you for your understanding and for considering my request. I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, [Your Name] [Your Phone Number] [Your Email Address] [Link to your LinkedIn profile, if you have one] Tips for sending this email: * Be direct and concise: This email is short and to the point. Recruiters are busy, and a clear, professional message is most effective. * Don't over-explain: You don't need to go into detail about your disability. The phrase "neurodivergent disability" is enough to indicate that you are requesting an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or similar legislation, depending on the country.
