I feel this in my bones. and when you start applying for any job it feels like no one really gives a shit unless you have the papers that they want to see. So you apply to a bunch of places and get mostly generic rejections or nothing at all.

Also them: It is so hard to find qualified staff.
Right, when applying for a sysadmin job, I realized that having five years working in an ITAR environment and successfully doing the transition from a normal enterprise network to an ITAR-style environment meant something, but I didn't have any sort of certification, so apparently none of that experience matters.
Yup. I was at a startup for the past 7 years so my experience is so scattered I have about 6 resumes I tailor for a given field. I'm nowhere near close to a niche it's whack
AI reads and presorts the applications and it's looking for specific things.
I also keep seeing mentions of some certification that I don't have, as I started working in the field before the certification was invented. Oh well.
I wonder if you could figure out the text that they scanned for and then put your normal resume and then just put those text that the AI scans for in like white lettering on a white background. I'm sure they have filters for that kind of shit, but that was one thought that I had.
Having seen what my other half has had to contend with I don’t think a human even sees most the applications.
Some arbitrary data points are fed into a computer and applications are auto filtered.
It’s a load of bollocks.
