A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You're what's wrong with job searching
Did you want their fulltime job to be reading thousand of resumes or did you want them to be an actual manager?
It's a broken system with no solution in sight.
But yeah let's blame this worker who has thousands of resumes that they have to figure out how to review asap.
Let's completely fuck off thousands of applicants who hear nothing about job opportunities because the reviewer doesn't like certain words.
Countless recruiters give some very basic advice in person and online, and they almost always say to put skills in decreasing order of importance. Job applications are god awful, but I really don't think being asked to follow basic instructions is a big ask. Blame companies, not recruiters.
What solution to you propose? What do you envision yourself doing if you are the recipient of several thousand applications for one position?
If you can't review the applicants properly, then you shouldn't be reviewing resumes. Find a new job.
lol I really hope that you never become a leader. It’s clear that you lack the proper intuitions
