Sell yourself! Create a brand! Research companies!

No, fuck all that. Create one good resume and shotgun that into every open role you see. If you really like a role, put in some time to tweak the resume.

Play the numbers game. They are.

Also, they’re using ai to weed out applicants, use ai to generate applicable content. They lie about the job description, you lie on your resume. You’re allowed to play the game with any tools at your disposal.

BAD COMPANIES do this.

why would you want to work at a bad company? I know you want the paycheck, but that kind of company is gonna wage theft your ass, anyway.

fubbernuckin ,

oh yeah? And how easy is it to find a good company that can actually pay you? You think all the bad ones have a tag on their front page that says “hey, we comb through your resume with an ai”? If i had the option to only apply to companies who don’t do this, that’d be my first choice, but as it stands, the only way to find them is to play the numbers game.

Besides, this is against the point anyway. You want us to all play by the rules when they don’t have to? At that point you’re cheating yourself on the basis of “not all companies”.

Paycheck until you find a good one.
