Not to besmirch you, but you outline the 'problem' very well: Hiring managers are people too. This means that they also come in a variety of shapes, colors, sizes, and with personalities and preferences. Essentially, the resume is as much a filter for the candidate as for the employer. Some candidates will have long extensive CVs that will appeal to some employers, some will be a tweet's worth of content that will appeal to others. There is no way to 'win' the application/hiring process. It's more like dating than a test.

- FLUX-YOU 9y agoEven if "I want detailed resumes" were communicated during the first application, job advice would quickly turn into "You need a resume for each unique demand of resume type", which will likely turn into making at least 3-5 different kinds of resumes. That makes it worse than dating and hopefully you don't choose from 3-5 versions of yourself in the closet to bring to a date.
