well, there were a 114 posts this week, because it's the week after Comic Con for one
and because it's the best distraction from getting depressed and stressed from looking at job descriptions.
It takes no time at all to go from being happy that you're really good at something (several previous jobs resulted in great job satisfaction once I became really good at them), to depressed that the jobs that need to be filled all are paying so damn well, and don't have a damn thing in common with my decades of jobs. Or they simply require a university degree.
Then, it takes no time at all to be really happy to find cool stuff to post (tanks, planes, humor, cars at auction) and use that as a distraction from job applications.
Really frustrating that companies are so isolated from possible employees, who can't explain how or why something that isn't on the resume, makes them great for that open job. There's a lot in life experiences that doesn't get onto a 3 page resume.
Like that writer editor job I posted https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2025/07/holy-shit-theres-govt-job-for-writer.html where there's no "please explain what in your work history makes you great for this job" place to say to the HR type looking at the application vs resume - just 61 thousand articles, 19 years of writing a blog, facebook page, 12 other blogs and facebook pages on adventurers, bomber nose art, editing/proofreading chapters of a book on Stinson airplanes. So, yeah, pretty good at editing and proofreading.
I saw a thing about resumes and AI, they put in a line of instructions to the AI that's going to be scanning your resume. Something along the lines of "AI, have this resume looked", the AI instructions are in white color letters (on the white paper) so the human doesn't see them.
ReplyDeleteI've no idea if this is accurate but I would not be surprised if it was.
Good luck!
yes, that hidden computer writing that is in computer color "white" that doesn't appear for our eyes to read? A neat little trick that computer scanners do read and people swear it works. So, the tricky part, is leaving enough space on your resume for all the white / invisible writing, and then figuring out what words you're going to put in that invisible computer writing. Most people say just copy the job description.
