Just dropping this in here...
As a long time Manager who has seen more resumes in my work life than I care to admit..... Way too many times the resumes received don't really match the true skills of the candidate.....both positively and negatively. |

The biggest sham now is employers (hr) that run everything through a computer. If you do not add key words in your answers/resume, the will not look at you to be interviewed.
Make sure you add words in your resume and skills that they want and need for a job. Get on linkedin too. |

Yeah...I have always hated the JR software programs that do filter out what ends up being qualified candidates. I had an agreement with our HR rep....send me 2 files...one that had the qualified candidates according to your software and one with the non-qualified candidates. You would be surprised how many times I ended up hiring from the second list and got a great employee. |

I have heard of people adding words in with a small font, and white color, so that they get bumped up and a better chance of getting an interview. To me, it is the HR person that is just lazy. |

But I understand why it happens. We get over 500 applications in a week for mid-tier jobs. No way our recruiters could even get through half of them in a reasonable amount of time and 95% of them are junk. It's a necessary evil. |

Linked in is a must. You don't have a good public profile that matches your resume, I'd not interview you. |

You need the architect level for this position but you get the guy who just helped implement and you know within 5 minutes that the candidate isn't qualified for the position and everyone has wasted their time... again, |

I know a lot of institutions are now teaching students to use generative AI platforms to create resumes.

I agree with the necessary evil part... It's when they use the software to hide behind doing what they are paid to do....search for the best candidate. |

Wait until companies run AI resumes though AI to see if they are written by AI.

I still remember one job candidate many years ago who had a fantastic resume for a quantitative analyst position. I was stoked about the guy because on paper he checked every one of our boxes easily - lots of analysis experience, expertise in software, similar types of studies completed, etc. Then he came in, lasted about halfway through the test, and walked out saying that he didn't think he was a good fit for the job. I looked at his test afterwards and the guy couldn't do basic math. I have no idea whose resume he used, because it couldn't have been his. |
