LinkedIn, living in a major city with infinity jobs. I refuse to re-enter my resume on employer websites unless I have a very high chance of getting an interview. I assume our applications then get filtered again on their side before a human sees them.
This isn’t the best long-term solution because it’s dependant on a specific middleman. I think there ought to be an open format for resumes so nobody has to type it out more than once. Next time I’ll probably use AI, too.
I do agree it is monotonous to reenter work history and education when I have it in plain view on my resume. I don’t want to fill out every single field for every job I apply to. I sent my resume to hr@bar.com (fake address) and they had no follow up questions and asked me to do a trial shift. We live in an over automated world where having a resume means we can’t get jobs on job hunting sites like Indeed and LinkedIn because just a single “error” can blacklist your application based on automation, and they are now using LLMs to distinguish qualified hires from the application stack. It might be good to get a steady nontech job and wait out the bubble in the tech industry. I know it’s not convenient but you’ll still get experience and income if you’re unemployed. AI is destined to fail but the CEOs aren’t ready to let it go. What does it say abt you if you’re as “grounded” as big corporations. Like you said in your comment “a specific middleman” with the same mind set as you is going to be terribly hard to come by in my experience
