Can we just be real people for a moment here on LinkedIn???I mean seriously.. How many of you pointing out the “Microsoft Edge wasn’t until 2014”, or what ever the non important issue is..When this resume actually tells you about the likely hood (60%) of contracting herps while an Intern at Microsoft….. Lol!!Y’all are totally missing the point and replying how “this can’t be real”… No wonder we have to incorporate AI and bot’s into recruiting..This is CLEARLY a test, to prove a point.. And y’all replying in your superficial “Always have to be 100% professional on LinkedIn, can’t be human even for one sec” reply’s. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 Y’all amaze me! I feel like the people replying to this, asking if it’s real.. Are the reason companies have went to AI in the first place.Point proven Sebastian.. Point Proven lol..

Fraternity record for most vodka shots LOL!! I've been turned down for 203 jobs this year alone. And a few of them hired people who did not have half the experience or half the "stuff " i have on my resume. I've never lied on a resume or job application. Maybe I should, lol! I got callbacks once I started using ChatGPT for my CV and resume.

You know... I don't believe this is any different than ANY resume I am given... We have applicants peaco*cking, exaggerating, and giving us a document that has a very low likelihood of giving us any insights into if the person is a fit or not. Resumes are trash and the traditional hiring process is ready for some more innovative takes.

To be honest, in my experience as Tech recruiter I find that just the opposite is true in the current market, where software developers are like unicorns. A software developer can have a few months experience, have just completed a bootcamp or worked in his own company for 8 months and recruiters are on him! I am not a techy and have basic knowledge, but I have seen candidates being “basic” tech screened, who have two to three years experience on their CV, yet they fail at being asked to set-up an environment in for instance React. After long consideration (because you are deperate for a candidate) during the technical questions you try to ask anything that can make him sound remotely knowledgeable, so you can squeeze him through to the next round, but nothing. After the first basic coding exercise that he/she fails miserably, you give up and decide not to move forward as there is just nothing. Next week, I see he/ she has a new senior frontend developer position on LinkedIn. 🤦♀️

Well, that answers the question, 'How do I get more coding interviews?' Things we already knew: Lying is applauded by U.S. corporations, ATS is BS, and being an intern at Microsoft makes you more likely to contract an STD....

Big companies use automated cv triage with keyword matching to sift through the thousands of applicants they have daily.. news at 5. This wouldn’t be necessary if people would not choose “carpet bombing” as an approach to applying to jobs.

React was released (open sourced) in 2013. In the CV it's in 2011 😅

There was a similar experiment in academia. Someone automatically generated a paper and sent it to conferences or journals, got accepted. It’s an unavoidable consequence of all the noise ..
