I feel that with keyword-based or other automated screening of applications, there is a strong potential for words that you might use inadvertently in a resume that will immediately make you ineligible for many employers at once. Presumably screening software all use a small number of independent (or dumb) keyword lists or criteria.
For a similar example, if you have a sufficiently unusual email address you will run into the same misunderstanding of what email addresses are at many places. Your address is "good" but runs into the same stupid bug at many servers or organizations.
Is there a service somewhere that will screen and score and explain your personal "standard" application for such words or phrases or features? That would be helpful in these cases where there is a feeling that "something is wrong" but it's hard to tell what is wrong in the approach.
- dexwiz 2y agoThere are a bunch of AI based screeners out there that do this. They look for specific words, but also overall phrasing and tone. I think they have the same pitfalls and any other LLM app. You can also hire a resume writer but I am dubious that these services haven’t just outsourced the work to AIs.
