Read the following passages on the use of Automated Tracking Systems in hiring:
"A. As the internet expanded in the early 1990s, the use of online job announcements and applications began to grow,
too. Soon, companies were getting more resumes than they could evaluate. To handle the load, the first Automated Tracking
System (ATS) launched in 1996. An ATS is a software program that searches through a job application looking for key
terms that match wanted skills. Companies use them to quickly identify qualified candidates and reject the rest. By 2016,
more than 300 ATSs were available and 90% of American companies relied on them to screen applications. A counter-
industry has sprung up in response, one that helps job seekers design their resumes to slip past the uncaring, automated eye
that guards the door to the hiring process.
"B. Before you spend days crafting a resume so interesting and impressive that no hiring manager can resist, there's
something you should know. Odds are, no human will ever read it. Almost all large companies use Automated Tracking
Software (ATS) to screen applications. Only those with just the right combination of keywords get passed on to a person to
review.
"To get your application past the ATS, make sure it's easy for the program to read. Stick to standard fonts and a basic
resume format. Don't include anything that a machine might have trouble identifying, like photos and colored or fancy
fonts. Make sure to include every skill and qualification in the job listing. Use both acronyms and full terms because you
can't be sure what the program is set to scan for. However, don't just copy the ad or throw in every buzzword you can think
of, either. The ATS won't mind, but if your application does make it through, the human who gets it next will."
Which choice below best explains differences in the tone and style of the two passages?
