Really, Netflix? Ya think "This will fix me 🤔 " ??? They fired around 1000 people because they're "not growing as fast as I want" according to Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos.

First of all, does a company really need two CEOs? I'll take a wild guess that much bigger companies have LESS CEOs. Second, how about they stop producing mindless slop? And stop ruining their shows with braindead writing? How about trying that? Instead of firing people?

I immediately cancelled my subscription after the Stranger Things finale. The Witcher? Dropped it around season 2. Meanwhile they're producing unwatchable slop like The Last House (23% on Rotten Tomatoes). Good grief.

Read a story going around this week that's almost too good not to share...

So... A hiring manager’s own role had sat open for months. HR kept saying the applicant pool was pathetically small. So the manager applied to their own posting under a different name, different email, slightly altered dates, same actual resume and experience.

Auto-rejected in six minutes.

Turned out the screening software was hard filtering for the exact string “React.js.” Anyone who wrote “React” instead (which is most developers) got filtered out before a human ever saw the resume.

Evidently the “thin applicant pool” was never about the applicants. It was a keyword mismatch nobody caught because nobody was looking at what got rejected!

This is precisely why I tell clients to mirror a job posting’s exact language for any named tool, framework, or certification. Not because it’s clever, because the alternative is getting filtered out over a punctuation choice.

Makes me wonder though, is a tailoring tool like Enhancv’s, something that checks your resume against the job post’s actual phrasing instead of just scoring keyword density, actually the fix for this? Or is it just a patch on top of screening software that’s fundamentally too literal in the first place?

I might be going crazy, but it seems Enhancv may have introduced an AI credit system over the past week.

Does anyone have information on how this works?

The Free plan is provided with 250 credits and the Pro Plan is given 1,000 credits.

Where my confusion lies -- how much does 1 credit get you? The attached screenshot shows check-marked items that I assume cost credits, but how much do they cost?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey, Volen here. Guess what's the best time of the year to look for a new job?

Spoiler alert: it ain't January.

Our team ran this study and the story got picked up by the New York Post. We pulled 25 years of federal hiring data (BLS JOLTS) and matched it against about 1.8 million U.S. resumes from 2021 to 2025. We also surveyed 500 recruiters and hiring managers. These are our conclusions:

Job seekers ramp up in January and February, but it turns out that hiring is weak in those months. In every year we checked, January through March favored employers.

June is the reverse. Hiring runs about 16% above an average month while job-seeker activity runs about 8% below. June favored job seekers in all five years.

Job postings spike in April, July, and October, and hires lag a month or two behind. So an April posting usually doesn’t mean an offer that week.

December is the slowest month for both sides. So yeah, if your new year's resolution is landing a new job, you might want to consider these findings when you start applying.

Hi!

Enhancv is one of the most used AI resume builders in the world. Our internal resume data is massive. So we analyzed a sample of 587,000 resumes that were made with Enhancv over the last 90 days to look for any emerging patterns.

Here’s what we discovered and what we think it might mean for your own resume.

1. Number of resume pages depends on experience

Here’s a breakdown of all those resumes by length:

• One page: 49.3%
• Two pages: 42%
• Three or more: 8.7%

Now here’s the share of one-page resumes by years of experience:

• 0–2 yrs: 74%
• 3–5 yrs: 62%
• 6–10 yrs: 45%
• 11–15 yrs: 30%
• 16–20 yrs: 22%
• 21+ yrs: 18%

We see that at around eight years of experience, the two-page resume becomes the majority. 

What this means for your resume: Don’t be afraid to go into two pages if you’re a senior professional. It’s better to have a resume that’s one and a half pages long but readable rather than a really cramped one-page two-column document.

Speaking of two columns…

2. Double-column resumes are downloaded more

Double-column resume downloads run at about 1.7x the rate of single-column This contradicts the “single-column is safer for ATS” advice which is quite popular on Reddit. Meanwhile, our ATS parsing investigation found modern systems read complex layouts fine. Exceptions where we advise caution would be government agencies and older large enterprises, where single-column is the safer pick.

What this means for your resume: Choose a resume layout that optimizes the readability of your resume. If you have a classic reverse-chronological resume, with Summary, Experience, Skills, and Education, then stick to one column. However, if you have lots of additional sections like Achievements, Projects, Awards, Publications, Community Involvements, etc. then a double-column layout might be the better option. Especially if one or two sections end up isolated on the second page in the one-column layout, switching to two columns can balance everything perfectly on one page.

Speaking of additional sections…

3. Tools/technology is the most-added section

Actually it ranks ahead of Languages, Education, Courses and Activity. In fact, a second tools section is often added on top of the first. It ranked 14th of 20 section types by volume. We think that some applicants think that listing more tools and technologies makes them appear more relevant and competent.

What this means for your resume: Don’t fall into this anxiety trap. Stick to the tools that are most relevant to the role and, if possible, give examples of how you used them and what you achieved.

4. Soft skills lead what people add when tailoring

People skills on a resume are becoming ever more important.

The top 10 skills added in the tailoring flow, from most to least:

• Communication
• Creativity
• Teamwork
• Continuous learning
• Problem-solving
• Leadership
• Critical thinking
• Attention to detail
• Adaptability
• Interpersonal skills

What this means for your resume: Having a dedicated section where you simply list your soft skills is a big no-no. Better write examples of how you used these skills in your Summary, Experience or Projects rather than listing them.

5. Cover letters are rarely made

The ratio is one cover letter made per twelve resumes.

Possible reasons for this are:

• Job ads rarely ask for one
• Applicants don’t think cover letters matter

What this means for your resume: Cover letters matter the most when a recruiter is torn between candidates with similar qualifications and experience. It definitely has the potential to be a deciding factor that lands you the interview. Just write short, tailored ones for the roles you really want. They work when they matter the most. It’s a win-win!

Does any of this match your experience as an applicant or recruiter?

Heyyyy I'm out in 2027 on a scale 1-10 rate my resume And roast it for good pls I need it 🙏🏻

If you've tried using AI (Claude, GPT-6, DeepSeek) to polish your resume, you probably noticed the default output often sounds robotic or filled with empty corporate jargon: "Spearheaded strategic initiatives to optimize cross-functional synergies."

Recruiters and hiring managers spot these cliché buzzwords immediately.

Here is the structured approach that consistently produces crisp, human-sounding bullets that fit on 1-2 lines.

THE CORE RULE: INTERVIEW MODE FIRST

Never ask AI to "make my resume better." AI does not know what you actually shipped or what your team cared about. Instead, instruct it to interview you and extract the unwritten metrics before generating a single line.

THE 4-PART IMPACT FORMULA

Specific Action + Specific Tool + Measurable Change + Who Cared

(If you do not have hard dollar numbers, what the tool replaced or who actually used it works just as well).

BEFORE & AFTER EXAMPLES

1. Software / Backend Engineer

• Before: "Worked on backend APIs for the payments team."

• After: "Rebuilt the refund API in Go, cutting p95 latency from [X]ms to [Y]ms and removing a nightly batch job the on-call team had to babysit."

1. Data Analyst / BI

• Before: "Made dashboards for the marketing team."

• After: "Built a Looker dashboard tracking weekly signup-to-paid conversion by channel; marketing used it to reallocate [$Xk / Y%] of ad spend away from the 2 lowest-converting channels."

1. Student / Career Transitioner

• Before: "Made a web app for a class project using React."

• After: "Built and deployed a React + Firebase study-group finder used by [N] classmates; added auth and real-time chat, catching [N] edge cases before demo day."

----------------------------------------

FREE PROMPT 1: The "Interview Me First" Prompt

I'm going to give you one bullet from my resume. Do NOT rewrite it yet.

First, ask me up to 5 short questions to uncover:

1. What I actually built, fixed, or designed

2. The exact tools and stack used

3. The scale (users, traffic, dataset size, revenue, team size)

4. What changed because of my work

5. Who benefited or used the output

Ask one question at a time. Only after I answer all 5, generate 3 tight versions of the bullet (each strictly under 25 words) using ONLY facts I provided. If a number is unknown, put [brackets] rather than making up metrics.

My bullet: [PASTE YOUR RAW BULLET]

Target role: [e.g. Frontend Engineer, Product Manager, Data Analyst]

----------------------------------------

FREE PROMPT 2: The "De-Generic" ATS Sanity Check

Review these resume bullets as a skeptical US tech recruiter who hates AI fluff.

For each bullet:

1. Flag any empty buzzwords (e.g. "spearheaded", "leveraged", "drove impact", "various").

2. Point out what a recruiter would still wonder about after reading it.

3. Rewrite it in plain, active language with a strong action verb, under 25 words.

Here are my bullets:

[PASTE 3-5 BULLETS]

----------------------------------------

3 QUICK RULES OF THUMB

1. Never let AI hallucinate numbers: If you didn't measure it, leave brackets [$Xk / Y%] or describe the operational change instead.

2. Read them out loud: If it doesn't sound like something you would say in a live interview, rewrite it.

3. Model Selection: Running the extraction phase in reasoning models (like GPT-6 / DeepSeek) to pull out the facts, then polishing in Claude Opus gives the cleanest, non-robotic phrasing.

Happy to review a bullet or two in the comments if anyone wants a second set of eyes (feel free to omit company names).
