    This is why I click “apply” after filtering and reading the title, only reading the job details if I hear back. Tab tab tab, apply apply apply, close close close. They’ll get human attention after I get human attention. Often it’s just to satisfy H1B requirements or to make it look like a nephew “earned” it.

      I think if you can apply by just clicking an “apply” button then I wouldn’t expect much attention from their side either, how are you doing it? On some job seeking platform?

      Every time I applied somewhere I had to spend some time customizing my CV to the job listing, researching the company to write a compelling cover letter (and to find out if I want to apply in the first place), and probably filling out a long form on their application portal. It takes at least 30 minutes per company, which is quite a lot of work when sending many applications.

      But the concept of just being able to click “apply” somewhere seems weird to me, sure, saves a lot of time, but then is anyone even reading your application?

        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.

    The only time blood doesn’t matter is when you’re claiming indigenous American or indigenous Canadian status.
