Job Search

Cringe Moments

Layoffs

How do you even apply for jobs anymore?

If you tailor your resume, you might miss the keywords the ATS is scanning for. If you don’t, it looks generic. AI tools help, but apparently recruiters can tell and might toss your application. No one can agree if cover letters still matter. Then there’s LinkedIn — your resume and profile need to match, but not too closely or it looks fishy. If you leave off a degree to avoid seeming overqualified, they’ll still see it on your profile. And no matter what you do, you still get ghosted. Especially if you’re a recent grad stuck between being too qualified for internships and not qualified enough for entry-level. So honestly, what are we even doing?
