To think we punish our fellow man for pursuing all life has to offer, especially over a career spanning decades is a travesty. If I'm hiring, I don't favor someone who's never once broke away from the matrix of 9-5 employment year after year to explore something new or meaningful or to rest.
This hyper-optimization people have to go through now to beat the resume screening algorithms is dehumanizing as it leaves no opportunity for people to explain their individual life choices. I understand why it is the way it is, but I don't like it and it's not getting any better.
- avmich 3y agoThis is a negative sum game - to stand out, I embellish my resume, so now you have to do the same and we're back on square 1 but the efforts are spent. Do we want to turn job seeking into a contest of resume designers? Do we have a feedback from the employers who are supposedly interested in best employees, not the best to pass interviews?
