uploading your resume and then also typing all of it into form boxes is a universal thing.

All so your resume can be scanned and automatically rejected because they didn't find any of the keywords they wanted.

Remember if you write in size 1 font with white ink at the bottom your resume you never worked for Google, Microsoft, Facebook, or enter whatever big-name here you will get more calls.

You can just put on your linkedin that you worked there but be honest on your resume, it works the same. Probably better tbh.

i assume its because some rear end in a top hat in upper management thinks that if you dont have the can-do attitude to type in your resume twice, then you don't have what it takes to work here at [Shithole Corp. LLC]

if you're applying through the general corporate HR portal, you're kinda hosed to begin with

you'll be behind employee referrals, direct HR contacts etc. i think in many cases, you're better off applying for the same role through the linkedin (or equivalent) job listing

we could probably have a thread of people posting their resumes and goons making them sound way the gently caress fancier

there's a cottage industry of resume fixers (there's one here on SA who posted banner ads for a while)

i don't think faking up bullet points really helps

the main benefit people get from re-doing their CV is usually from just having it look "normal" with proper formatting, no typos etc

I got a lot more hits on mine when I made it more achievement-oriented rather than skill-oriented (AskAManager has some really great advice on this).

1) polishing bullet points actually does help. it shows that you're smart enough to do the dance and that you have soft skills that don't show up in a resume otherwise
2) i liken interviewing to dating and both have multi-billion dollar industries centered around "please be normal". saying "make your resume normal and you'll get a job" is a degree or two away from "make a bunch of money by investing well" without someone to tell you exactly what "normal" is
