> Hiring managers and recruiter match buzzwords in your CV
So? You put those buzzwords in your CV. What’s difficult about that? You feel like being dishonest? If so, again, just explain in the next stage of the interview (with real engineers) that you do have real world experience in similar but not exactly the same technologies listed in your CV. You just did so to pass through HR. Not a big deal (as long as you’re confident and believe you can learn technologies easily)

- littlecranky67 3y agoI have made some "SEO" optimizations as some agencies use text-based CV matching. Some are upfront with it, with others I observe it because I get a lot of Java project requests (I never coded Java, but as a FE dev, have lots of JavaScript in my CV text). I'm gladly looking forward 3-5 years, when AI will handle this CV analysis and match a project description from a company to a proper candidate. Basic GPT can tell right now if CI/CD matches "Azure Pipelines". Then we can fire the lower 50-80% of unskilled recruiters that do not provide any value to the market right now.
- manfre 3y agoBlatantly lying on the CV is an instant rejection at the places I've worked. It's one thing to stretch your contributions on past projects, but to outright lie about the technologies used is a huge red flag. It's easy to teach a person the company tech stack, but I'm not sure it's possible (or worthwhile) to try and teach some one to be honest.
