      Probably, but I can say that all that matters is hitting the right keywords. I’ve seen some goddamn formatting disaster resumes slip through to the early level filtering just because they were crammed with all the keywords. All the formatting advice we told people for decades is probably worthless.

    Love2be in an arms race not even with fellow prospective workers, but with the process of getting a job. It’s like another little example of “data-driven optimization” actually just optimizing for the metrics instead of the actual goal. You’re gonna get the workers who are best at navigating the insane, byzantine, dehumanizing application process, which might have essentially no overlap with the job. But then maybe they do want to screen out people who have enough self-respect (and alternatives) not to put up with being given the runaround and treated with utterly no regard. Human resources and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

      I spent some time designing metrics for companies and this is the case with 99% of the metrics I came across. It often led to a vicious cycle of “see the metric isn’t doing what it’s supposed to do -> change metric -> organization changes to fit the metric instead of its goal -> metric doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do”

      I’ll spam some shit I’m underqualified for on Monday and see what happens. I heard about this a while ago but forgot to do it. Fuck the system and death to Amerikkka.

      i think it would work better if you put it in the middle of your resume, then if they select it with a mouse and drag and drop it into gpt it has a higher chance of being copy pasted.

        Good point. I can try and squeeze it into the middle. I’m probably also gonna try and load it with whatever buzzwords might be relavent to the job.

            I just sent a white-fonted resume to 2 different companies, but ironically I do have experience towards both those jobs. But still gonna see if I get anything back. The one I applied for wants Svelte experience, which I don’t have but I have some ReactJS and AstroJS experience and it’s somewhat the same.

                You would be correct. I am probably gonna try it a few more times but I think I’m gonna just try and focus on finding people that need websites because I have spent way too much time applying for jobs instead of doing something meaningful.

      hell for a lot for them you could probably ignore the white on white, just make it clearly visible and they’d never look at it
