Comment on Your CV is not fit for the 21st century

If a company is “evaluating” resumes by SEO standards, or with over-reliance on algorhythms/AI, I would rather not work for them in the first place.
I agree and I’m sure many feel the same.
At the same time, this is the reality we live in. Some need to have jobs at companies that don’t evaluate applications/materials as fairly as they’d like, and they will have to deal with this problem regardless.
Bad employers eventually face the music
The market can be irrational for longer than you can stay solvent.
I feel like there is a spectrum between this and picking the CEOs son.

Unfortunately, companies are being bombarded with AI- generated CVs at a massive scale, and so have turned to AI filters to filter out all the slop. This has resulted in filtering out a lot of qualified people as well. But in an employer’s market, that doesn’t really matter to them.
Once you get past the filter, everything is mostly business as usual; many hiring managers are probably even unaware that their HR department uses AI filters.

Honestly, almost any job I’ve been hired for has involved a hand-delivered resume(or paper application, when I first started out). Applying after the interview was basically an afterthought.
The more time goes on with shady hiring agencies and clueless HR departments, and then the automated processing that was messing this up long before the AI slop, the more it seems we’re heading back towards paper resumes and in-person first-contact.
Then there’s the fact there were always people you could pay to polish your resume. In that regard, AI has kind-of levelled the playing-field for job-hunters.
