the sheer RELIEF I’m feeling my god. I came so close to offing myself so many times lmao. This goddamnit labor market is TRASH.

I’ve accepted it obviously and waiting for the next steps. Gonna drink some nice wine I bought a while ago.

      Just got a great job after applying maybe 500 times, and that was the first offer I got.

      I had a good resume but hardly any interviews for like 6 months. Then I realized some of the experience autofill things were fucking up, and if they fuck up, then the resume scanning system is probably not able to read that shit properly either.

      I changed my resume, it looks just a little worse, but it’s got no tables and no weird formatting. It looks decent in NOTEPAD now. This new resume got me like 6 interviews in a month, and I was applying a lot more slowly. I literally have an interview I still need to go turn down. My SO went through the same experience with the old and new resume. Look up ATS testers. Make the stupid robot understand

      The place I just got hired at was super, super excited to find me. Guess what? I applied to the same job on the old resume a couple months ago and THEY NEVER SAW IT BECAUSE IT GOT AUTO FILTERED. Literally these fucking things will do a half assed attempt at scanning the resume, try to collect information like employment gaps, fill a field like “Date of Employment” with the words “Attention to detail” and then conclude that you have NaN years of experience, and reject you.
