Everyone is hiring, but HR uses very exactly keyword reviews, related, HR wants a top performer (based on some meaningless resume heuristics), but wont pay for it.
- the_only_law 3y ago> but HR uses very exactly keyword reviews The thing is, people have told me HR has been doing this for years. Hell I remember people doing crap like keyword stuffing the bottom of their resume and just making the text color match the background color (not that this is a great strategy) But this is the first time I’ve ever struggled to find a job in my career. I had a much much easier time when I was 18 and didn’t even have any real experience.
- Aloha 3y agoThe other part of this is "meaningless resume heuristics" - If you have the skillset for it, and are looking - look for software jobs outside of the traditional tech sector, in telecommunications for example. I had a friend who made this transition, and hes much happier now.
- ryandrake 3y agoEveryone says they are hiring, but in reality most are just sitting there holding fishing rods with their lines in the water. I don't believe any company that says they are unable to find candidates after these recent layoffs, and watching actual candidates getting ghosted after applying to hundreds (thousands) of jobs.
