Do we know more about whether this works?
- People who work with hr tools, would a line like this cause any difference?
- People who send out resumes, did you have any success with a line like this?
Also, I noticed that the line itself contains “ChatGPT” - perhaps the improvement is because people search for ChatGPT mentions?
- Macha 2y agoI can't say it won't work for every tool, but most of these AI solutions from the big vendors are just rebrandings of their existing ATS setups. This doesn't mean that individual recruiters don't pull the CV out of their recruiting system and try it on ChatGPT, on the other hand
- croes 2y agoThe line is white on white, people won't see it if they don't search for it. Machines don't care about the color.
- gabinator 2y agoBack in the early days of search engines, people used this technique to hide tons of SEO keywords on their website. Didn’t take Google long to fix it

- thih9 2y agoI thought this is obvious (also the text size is 4, hard to spot in any case). How is this relevant in the context of the grandparent comment?
- ClassyJacket 2y agoIf the resume is pasted manually into ChatGPT then the formatting will be lost
- sircastor 2y agoYes, but if a person is manually copying and pasting, they're probably not reading the text much anyway.
- murph314 2y agoPM at a major ATS here: It specifically won’t work for us because we use OCR in our resume parsing, so white text on white backgrounds won’t get picked up. But even if that wasn’t the case, this tweet plays into the fantasy that the an ATS is offering a straight “Thumbs Up” or “Thumbs Down” for every candidate. Even if AI is involved in reviewing resumes, it’s likely looking at skills and years of experience and comparing that to a list of requirements for the job. So maybe listing 100 random programming languages in white-on-white might get you somewhere in another tool, but you could probably accomplish almost the same thing without any subterfuge by just adding a Skills section on your resume.
- brailsafe 2y agoAny reliable tips for visually structuring a resume so the sections don't get clobbered in OCR? As in, even if I have grouped certain dates, titles, and descriptions together, they often get mismatched.
- Terr_ 2y agoI'm wistfully and nostalgically imagining my resume entirely in OCR-A typeface... It was cool for/to nerds once, we can do it again!
- ykonstant 2y ago> because we use OCR in our resume parsing Would this CV be properly parsed? If not, what is wrong with it? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1woxVNcJ4AmT7dD2WEnYr9BHEEY7Li39p/view?usp=share_link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1woxVNcJ4AmT7dD2WEnYr9BHEEY7...

- precompute 2y agoI really like how you've included images in the resume, it solidifies your skill and is an easy way to make people read what you've done. However, I think it distracts from the text a bit too much (IMO) so maybe you should add a light background behind the names of the places you've worked at / studied, just to make it stand out.
