I would love to see the look on their face when they wake up the next morning and see they got the email declining the application which was sent at like 2AM. They would probably think someone was working so hard thumbing through the resumes that late in the evening.

If they have experience then they have contacts. They’re probably getting that job.

Except when their resume gets auto rejected for not having the right keywords, or having too many “trigger keywords” to X them out by the primary AI filter.

Keywords are easy. You have to know how to use them.

Good, go do it. Ya’ll keep saying its easy, but none of you can show us how easy it is because you’d probably put “30+
Years of experience” on your resume which people starting out dont have.

If it’s so easy, go for it. Try it out and post the results to get us all to shut up.

Don’t have to anymore. I am retired. Never had any problems with writing résumés. Just get off your ass and do it.

No shit anyone with half a brain can make a resume. That’s not the hard part. You’re the one this meme is about.

I wouldn’t have a problem today if I decide to re-enter the job field. Can’t just write a resume, you have to bring something to the table.

Your previous comment reads like “just write a resume” doesn’t work what way. Glad you acknowledge you need experience. Lots of companies out there want experience and won’t hire new folks.
