The main hiring myth I believe right now is that companies are hiring. Job posts are clearly just an elaborate joke, and I've yet to discover the punchline.
Even if you get hired, I’ve found a lot of work places are f’d up. Broken processes, people not understanding work flow, owners not open to better ideas… there’s also zero loyalty. A job is a paycheck. A means to an end.
Even if you do get hired there is a 1 in 3 chance they will let you go after 2 weeks anyway. People try other things besides looking for a job try anything turn a hobby into a job of sorts sell stuff at a flee market. never depend 100% on a job for your livelihood never.
You forgot outdated software for doing work. If a company you work for uses outdated tech or has internet connection issues shows the companies has a lot of issues beside high turnover rates.
The worst is that many small business owners are just born rich and survive despite the owner. That's what i aim for public companies after working for many small and mid-sized businesses
Male recruiters should dig trenches in ukraine do something useful and be a man for once in their lives. Hr chicks and chick recruiters stay home wash dishes we need to make America great again . No 19th
I'd rather get ghosted than a rejection letter. Do you really need one of those emails that says "thanks for applying, we really like blah blah, UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS TIME....." you know the rest
@@sqlb3rn You have to know what's going on with your career, if you like to hear the good news or bad news. You don't want to be the guy that sits there waiting by the computer, just maybe, just maybe, they are going to get back to me. You need to know, so you can move on, and continue the fight.
As someone that looking for a new job, it's hard to beleive what is presented in this video... Maybe the reality is different but job hunting feel broken and impossible. Maybe the issue is partially on the applicant but for F sake, the ghost job, the ghosting and all the step to apply for a job (send resume, rewrite everything of the resume on the application, having to harrass the HR and recuiters) it's pure BS and need to stop.
The job search process is "broken" but you can gain an advantage if you know the rules and use them to your benefit. But I totally agree with the ghost jobs and ghosting people, the crappy applications, etc..
I agree with what you are saying. It extends beyond just the regular job sites. State job sites are just as frustrating to deal with. I've done so many revamps on my resume, rewritten and tailored my cover letter down to the HR individual of the company, and still cannot seem to get any leeway. I've done several mock interviews to pinpoint and hone in on my weaknesses and ways to improve my answers. I've called, emailed, and inquired with recruiters and Hr, just to be met with silence. Seeing the job rejection email and the actual job posted within the same week is just heart-wrenching. I am at a total loss as to what these companies want.
I agree, it’s a broken process. However as an applicant, my focus is on a well written accurate and detailed resume first. If you have 10+ years experience it’s ok to have two pages…..Then just apply to jobs where you think you hit 70% of the qualifications. The only key thing here that takes work is actually reading the job description and their wants (it’s easy to shotgun resumes to any title that fits) Also …..Rewriting the resume for each job is a HUGE waste of time. It’s ultimately a numbers game. As long as you’re applying to jobs that match your resume you should have a reasonable chance even if it’s 3/100 applications you submit
It’s a myth that not many people want to work because any time I go to a job fair that has on spot interviews (even for crappy jobs) there’s always a huge line of people.
That’s because people want the ability to afford rent/mortgage and actually feed them selves. That doesn’t correlate with them actually “wanting” to work.
Ha! "Nobody wants to work" they say, while we're all fighting for scraps. It's a joke. These companies want the moon for minimum wage. I just laugh now. Used an AI tool last time, just to see if I could get away with it. This whole thing is a circus.
Why can't the employer him or herself do the interview? I would be working for this person, they are the one paying me, they are the one who will hire or fire me. I would rather speak to that person rather than people further down the ladder. This is why I prefer smaller businesses. Less people applying, and less interviews.
@dhenderson1810 sure but smaller businesses have way more extra workload on the employee. But for min wage dead end service work, im fine with small businesses.
@@asadb1990 Not everyone wants to reach for the stars, or don't have the education to. Would you want everyone applying for corporate jobs, when that means more people you are competing against? Be glad some people aren't competing in the same space.
I applied to a job through a temp agency and was hired on a few months later. A year and half later, I'm looking for higher pay since I make the min, and find another job, but it is through the temp agency. The temp agency said they will not let me apply to the job because I am currently working for a company that they work with. So the temp agencies get to gate keep the jobs and prevent me from ever improving. Starting to feel like I live in China. You get any old job because you are desperate for money, but then, you are trapped. The temp agencies gate keep the open jobs. I have a degree and could work a higher paying job, but they see that I've been working low level factory and disqualify me. Seems like everyone looks at your most recent job and that is what you do from now on.
I prefer if the interviewer "doesn't know how to interview". Both my brother and myself landed jobs when we have gone to interviews where the interviewer is laid back, tells me what the job involves, let's me sell my credentials and lets me feel comfortable enough to open up.
I have to disagree with what you said about an ATS not rejecting applicants. I can provide you a very specific recent example as proof. About a year ago, I was applying for jobs. I applied for a technical position at very large (the largest?) cloud / virtualization vendor (not naming names). I applied with my generic resume and cover letter. I got a generic rejection letter back within minutes. I signed up for a resume service that allowed you to check your ATS score and customize your resume for the job posting. I kept tweaking my resume until I had a 90-plus ATS score. I applied for the same role at the same company. It was just a different req. number. I was contacted the next morning for an interview.
I am a job seeker and find your content totally authentic coming from the right place and the right experience to helping people out. That being said. as a job seeker I am doing a lot of research and coming across totally too many people on various platforms that call themselves experts and giving advice that is way too much contradictory of each other. I firmly believe if you have to qualify yourself as an expert before relating the subject of your content, you are no expert and you yourself can't find a job using your own advice.
As a software engineer I have a "technologies used" section that says what languages, frameworks, dev tools, and processes I used at that job. It's basically a keyword dump. Not sure if it's bad, but I need to list that stuff somewhere.
It’s also a good idea to sprinkle some of those things in your job description of what you did/worked on. Recruiters/managers only spend like 5 seconds on a resume, so you want them to notice keywords quicker, in theory.
This is good, I put mine in a “Skills” section at the very bottom of the resume. It’s a place to list any programming languages, popular programs, operating systems etc. that’s another way to hit any keywords Also for certifications I have that section towards the top of the resume next to any security clearances (if you work in government contracting) in a “certifications.” Section under education. Then the job history. The idea is to put the MOST important things on the top page…so a human can quickly look at it and see if you meet the basic requirements (certs, clearance, education etc)…. Then they can read more in depth if they want.
I used to have that. I dumped it in exchange for bullet points that state how I'm using the various techs. I got a new job recently and I have had many recruiters reach out to me.
I do this too in addition to the skills section. Might be overlap but I find it lets me show the tech stack I used at a job as well as my overall skills.
As a Corporate Recruiter Ad Manager, you hit the nail on the head with tips. The only thing I will add with formatting is fonts. Crazy fonts are not attractive and distract from the content of the resume.
I got totally fed up with the job hunt. I'm getting education to a new field. If you cannot afford studies there are plenty of free courses online. Make that cv gap into a legit study/training time
I had an interview summer last year (2023) and one of the interviewers ask me 'do you have an reception experience?' I nearly responded 'well if you had read my CV carefully you wouldn't be asking me such a stupid question!!' Ofcourse I replied in a very civil manner.
If the recruiter's performance is measured on how quickly he will bring a candidate that gets hired for the position then why we have the same job postings reposted for 6 months and even a year and it looks like they are always looking for the same position.
That is a major sign of a ghost job, i.e. just harvesting your personal data. In the best case it would be a job with very high turnover, so would not want it anyway.
It's impossible to change careers without going through a herculean effort. Nobody is ever going to train you in something new. It's so defeating that it feels worthless to even try in your career
Yes, it's going to take effort. Big changes take effort - that shouldn't surprise anyone. The question is what you will do to control your own destiny.
I worked three years as a realtor, two as a machine operator and three months as general helper. Returned to college this semester to finish my graduation in psychology hoping to get a job at human resources, as I have experience from obligatory internships. Last Thursday I did an interview with a manager from a bank that is doing a partnership with the college, and he already talked about putting me in the sales department 🙄
It's even worse when you're someone like me who's not from a traditional background. Like, I'm passionate about programming, but I had to learn everything on my own. Had to rely on an AI tool to even get a foot in the door. We need a system that embraces diversity and potential, not just degrees and fancy schools.
I don't think I can share links on RUclips comments, but its name was interviewhammer. but remember you need to be able to do the job otherwise what's the point, you will be let go in no time.
Since companies love posting fake jobs in a market that is already terrible, would you say it's fair for candidates to send fake resumes with fake names to these companies to show them what it feels like to have their time wasted?
@@factorfitness3713 I didn’t mean I’d be the one to do it. I was just curious because companies don’t see posting ghost jobs as morally wrong, but they’d definitely feel their time was wasted if a candidate went through the whole process only to bail or admit they weren’t planning to take the job and just wanted to see what was offered. It’s like giving them a taste of their own medicine. You’ll see their double standards kick in-they’ll say the candidate wasted their time when it’s okay for them to waste the candidate’s time.
I'm beginning to think that companies choose new employees like people choose significant others. ATS is like the corporate version of swiping left and right and the best person "on paper" is rarely chosen. The system seems to be designed to give the illusion of objectivity when in fact, it's very subjective. You will never hear anyone openly admit this since I'm sure there would be legal consequences for doing so.
Is there such a thing as Indeed in reverse, where jobseekers post their CV's and let employers browse for them, and if not, why not? In my opinion, it's long past time that companies got a taste of their own medicine. They should be reminded that they are the buyers, NOT the sellers, and they should certainly be forced to raise their standards for once.
Thats basically how I use linkedin, but youll quickly come to find 99% of recruiters are totally incompetent fools and cannot read at a 5th grade level. They are professional time wasters whether you are coming to them, or they are coming to you.
OMG, yes! An Indeed in reverse would be amazing. Between work, the kids, and trying to learn new tech, who has time for these interview gauntlets? It's like they don't realize we have lives. I confess, I used an AI interview tool on my last one just to keep up. Something has to give. edit: the tool name was called interview hammer.
@@alibolk what do you mean by "I used an AI interview tool on my last one just to keep up."? something like chatgpt in the interview? can you please give more details and share the name of it if possible
@@helw7k the ai tool name I used one called interview hammer, there are other tools but this is the only one I found that I can run on another device so when asked to share the screen don't get caught. it still has a waiting list but I got it on the same day, it doesn't help if you don't know anything, but if you are 50% it can push you to be 90%.
Thanks for discussing the ATS. Right now, we only use it for tracking. What I did notice while hiring for several roles that report to me: 80% of people were not qualified in the least. Basically an apple and an orange--not even remotely qualified. 10-15% had relative skills. 5%, sometimes 10% had the right qualifications. And it's those 80% of people that are clogging the pipeline, as if they were bots. Whatever is being taught now, people really should not be randomly applying to anything. Imagine being 1 person and getting 100-200 resumes in a few hours, and 80% of them are not qualified at all. We want someone to succeed--quickly. Please target searches. This market is bad enough. Running the risk of not being seen due to the unqualified just makes it harder.
It is important that job seekers know this. I have not applied to jobs because I was so discouraged when I saw that there were 300 applicants in a matter of a few hours.
I spent 2013 to 2018 looking for a decent job spending those five years with part time, contract and time with really crummy companies dealing with psycho management. The job searching was soul crushing. From everything I see nothing has changed in the past more than six years. Ghosting, clueless hiring managers, constantly being told you're overqualified, etc. As far as ATS, yes these are nothing more than tracking systems not used to review qualifications. That is different from systems that "read" resumes looking for key/buzz words.
“I fell like it’s lazy recruiting.” Yes, that’s the problem. I can customize my resume until I am blue in the face. It won’t matter if the ATS weeds me out for whatever reason.
The point he is making that you can't apply that thinking to every single job or recruiter. You don't know that and it doesn't help you to think that way
Recruiting tells a lot about the company. Some companies ghost, some lie to your face, some actually seem interested but then "thank you for the application we chose someone else". I’m getting back to school, training to a field that is lacking employees atm.
Great overview of the role of headhunters / executive search! Although I left high tech ages ago, I have recently heard from Director level staff at large firms that they almost exclusively use executive search for senior & specialist roles. Some even use them for medium/junior roles in order to avoid having to process 1000s of random applications in this crazy market .. and this might even work out cheaper than processing all those applications. Job seekers should definitely be aware that headhunters tend NOT to maintain databases of possible candidates, so sending resumes to them is usually pointless.
Making money is not the same as keeping it there is a reason why investments aren't well taught in schools, the examples you gave are well stationed, the market crisis gave me my first millions, people shy away from hard times, I embrace them.. well at least my advisor does lol.
yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Investment without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to a great loss too
I agree. There's a lot of potential in the market. My friend introduced me to a financial advisor in 2023 Professional Chrissy Barymoer and even though I was skeptical, I went on. I finally was making enough monthly dividend to quit my soulless job and pursue my dream to start a restaurant in New Jersey and still earn five figures in monthly dividends.
I'm an amateur with a portfolio of 3,000$ but it's hard for me to build confidence. I want to invest another 12,000$ over a one month span, but I want to be strategic about doing it so l can grow more and not stay stagnant. Can you recommend me to this your professional please
A majority of the time, you need to know someone who already works at the company you're interested, even better would be if you knew someone on the team you're applying for. They can talk to the hiring manager about you before your resume gets seen. Seen that happen MULTIPLE times.
Great vid. Every single video, you hit the nail right on the head: "Just get a better resume." I want this, but look at your services and way too expensive. Do you / will you offer any discounts or sales soon? (Cant afford rn, but happy to payback when I land a well paying job again)
Honestly, I have to disagree with the 1 page resume myth. Not because of what recruiters think, but because of the next obstacle that is the hiring manager. I've worked in some major aerospace companies, including on hiring panels, and I've never had a supervisor that didn't skip over multi-page resumes. There's too many of them to get through, and they're not making it past one page before chucking it. The only jobs I've seen where multiple pages isn't a death sentence are highly compensated senior level management roles where there are a grand total of 10 qualified applicants to begin with.
The time-to-fill metric is subjective to the size of the company. Small companies/businesses and some mid-size, too, are often very flexible with the timeline to fill because of being on good terms with their leadership, etc. I've seen this firsthand.
You know who is in charge of hiring, development, etc if those are the ones who hire the attorneys :) no matter what position you’re in. You WILL always answer to someone. Most companies preach accountability but don’t actually trust their employees to make actual decisions. Coming from a hiring manager/HR SHRM-CP with over 15 years in working for Fortune 500/100 companies.
I've taken stock of job-seeking advice I've received over the years and I've noticed that the best advice tends to come from people who have years of experience in the industry, but not too much that they're near or past retirement age when they haven't been in a normal job interview process in a number of years. I've gotten great advice from GenXers and older Millennials, horribly outdated advice from Boomers and older generations as though we're still in the 1980s, and naive advice from younger professionals who are still trying to figure things out for themselves. Though it should be noted that this isn't strict (for example, I've gotten good advice from a former boss who was a Boomer), just how the trends seem to go.
As a former digital marketer the last few years feel SO MUCH like the SEOs versus Google algorithm updates 'arms race' of the late 2000s/early 2010s. Some of the "hacks" people are trying are even the same methods people used to game the Google algorithms back then!!! You advise the same "whitehat" guidance of that time as well, which is that good content (e.g. well written resume) always wins out over the long run, which I agree with...and I wish it were that simple... However... recruiters do not seem to have a standard taxonomy of language by job type, and it's incredibly frustrating to feel like I have to keep adjusting my resume language to mirror whatever word choice preferences are being used by the recruiter/hiring team for a given role in order to get past the ATS filter (notably given the volume of competing applications & trying to find ways to get ahead of the pack).
This didn’t really debunk any myths, rather add more details to clarify an already convoluted process Additionally, you didn’t address how the applicant’s relationship with the recruiter, hr manager, current employees etc are a factor in the hiring process. “Not what you know, but who you know” comes into play. The emphasis on a well-written resume, sounds like wonderful advice. However as you gain experience and leverage your network for job opportunities, your resume writing skills mean less and less.
Facts. Who you know is the most important thing. How you present yourself in the interview is the second most important thing and the resume is at the bottom. Most people get this wrong and spend all their time in writing the perfect resume and zero time building connections.
Seasoned, aged professional, Mr '5 seconds', now clears up all the misconception we have in our heads. Listen carefully fellas! You people are dead wrong on many things. HR do care about your CV, they really do! If and when those 20something fresh-grad ultra-woke HR girls manage to take a glimpse on them between coffee-shop breaks and Tik-Tok office videos. People need to realise that instead of being polite and nice, they have to negotiate salaries with HR *ruthlessly* and need to treat HR like trash. Because that is exactly the treatment ALL of us will get, in a split second, once the company's general position/opinion/feelings/perception (you name it) changes about your work or your division, regardless how super-hard you have worked, up to a certain point. There is no security, constructive mutual development nor loyalty anymore, guys. So start to act accordingly! (trust me, it does work) Wake the F up, it's 2024, not 1993. You don't have to be nice and polite anymore. Those days are gone forever.
What I don't understand is why do recruiters only look back to the past 5 years or so of work history for relevance? Many seasoned workers have a strong professional background that is 20 years in the making. These learned skills and experiences build a stronger foundation for the whole individual. Does emotional maturity mean anything in the workplace anymore?
I just got thrown off by "many don't know how to interview" thing. Interviewed this week with a dude who has 10 direct reports and was hiring for a senior IC role that I have 90% overlap with and all he did was ask random very very specific questions about where we differ. Didn't care about the 90% overlap, how I'd fit the team, my advanced coding skills, etc. It was weird. It was like he picked the worst random questions and fails to see potential in people too
He wanted someone else and was required to interview you anyway. I've had many of those interviews. They rig it to fail the applicant. A fly on the wall would see the H1B getting an easy interview that they can pass.
LadyCatFelineTheSeventh, H1b or its equvalent, should be banned worldwide. I myself was kicked off and outsourced by an indy an. We are paying in taxes to be replaced!
Haha, sounds about right. These interviews are a joke. Half the time the interviewers don't even know what they're looking for. I just used an AI tool to get through my last one, honestly. Who's got time for these ridiculous games? The whole system is broken.
@@LadyCatFelineTheSeventh Hey, I just saw this comment and it's timely, because I see the coding-based job now reposted with "remote work/INDIA"!!!!!! Not even joking. So ironic because they made a big deal about team work and coming to the office every month at least, which is a big deal there because people live 50, 90 miles away....I guess it doesn't matter if you can get an Indian?
People interviewing are great in 30 years I've been alive I've seen it all kind of morons interview me. Had one guy spend 30 minutes in interview just shit talking the college I went to thus shit talking me for going to said college. I had one girl tell me she only ever interviewed 2 people before me and the interview was literally 2 minutes long she asked me one question and that was it then when I tried to ask her questions she looked overwhelmed confused and unsure what was going on. I had another girl interview me say I'd be perfect for job then came to question about pay and like she was like "So we want start you on the lowest possible pay for this position imaginable." I just looked at her and went what? like I'm clearly experienced I know wtf I'm talking about I knew she had a in house clinic lab in their building based on just seeing a box that most people wouldn't even recognize by their front door and I already knew their whole computer system they used, but no job for me cause I didn't want 16 dollars hour for job that averages 20-21 dollars an hour. Then got interviewers who think we live in a fantasy world who want the perfect answer and believe in fairy tales as if there only honesty and kindness in the world so when you give them replies based on real world experience and facts, they just shake their heads. Then there people that interview you and expect you to know how to do the job they're hiring you for before they even give you the job. Had a guy literally ask me 100 questions about how to run tests on food samples to see if it safe and what the best are test to run etc, like I'm supposed to know this shit right out of college like yah must have missed that part in my biology class, but you know some employers never heard of on the fucking job training you know.
Try to use paragraphs :) But, yes, I know where you come from. These were for engineering jobs: I've had cold phone calls the first Monday of September where the caller didn't know how to pronounce the most common acronyms in the field she claimed to be an hiring expert in. I've had recruiters blatantly lie about your legal rights. "White collar workers are never entitled to overtime pay". She refused to take me on. Her company is still 30% of all local job offers on the job sites. I've had an interviewer (in the fifth round, or so), a recently graduated, still a frat boy, who interrupted each answer with his own college story. While an older recruiter sat silent and watched. I've never heard from that company again. I've had hiring managers and HRM who didn't understand the position they were hiring for. In essence they thought that, since they were looking for a replacement who had grown with the company, could hire and/or treat the replacement as the junior version of whoever they were looking a replacement for. The company needs a full stack developer with strong people skills who can build a solid network with peers around the company, but the current guy started out as a junior coder? Then you're a junior coder too! I've had a recruiter talk down my requested pay and lie about benefits and beg me to get me to go an interview for an engineering job that turns out was already taken by somebody from inside the company. Me, and a third candidate, would have to compete for 6 months and then the company would hire whomever they thought was the best fit. Some of these recruiters really are desperate people.
I appreciate this channel & enjoy these videos. Interesting & informative. However, I'm thankful every day that I work in the public sector. Holy crap, corporate sounds like a nightmare. Good luck y'all, but no thanks.
I hate to pile on but it's hard not to be cynical of today's job market. Your resume has to be written to get past the applicant "trashing" system while and also appeaing to the recruiter then you have to pass multiple interviews. This is all assuming you get any calls and you're not wasting your time applying to ghost jobs or positions that are already spoken for.
I was let go from a job I had for five years due to DEI, last year(2023). It took six months to find a new job and over 100 applications to get that. This year 2024, I was let go again after six months with no warning or real reason. It's now August/September 2024 and I've been ghosted by five employers I had interviewed with. As of today, I applied to 134 jobs, had five interviews in 8 months and still nothing. who said employers are not discriminating is talking out of there poop shoot. When employers see my age (50). I'm ghosted. One HR rep asked me why I didn't file for retirement yet, because she thought I has at "that age". Another employer told me I could not be over then 34 at time of job offer. WTF.
Unfortunately I did not record my in person interview. My zoom and teams interviews, yes. But in person no. A few HR reps actually check my phone and make sure it's off, then they put it in a safe and I have to sign it out when leaving. The tin foil hat she was wearing was a definite red flag, but I finished the interview with respect. And no, I didn't get the job and I'm greatful for that. She told up front that they supported the democratic party. That job posting has been up for almost a year. They take it down every three months, then repost it.
New supervisor came in, fired three white people on day one. Hired four black people he knew. And then fired me and two other white people. Not one new person that came had a state license or any experience that would qualify them to work in my department.
I'm a designer looking for work and I scrapped my more "designerly" made resume for one that I made in Google Sheets that looks beyond boring just so it could be read properly by ATS. Is this necessary?
Brian. This is first hand experience. Can you pleaee aknowledge at least? Only fake jobs. 1. Hire you for 3 months to use you or to fire you in the last day of probation but exactly in the performance appraisal month. Guess why in performance appraisal month? Huh. 2. Use your resume to get good work. These 2 things happened already 4 times to me. Those youtubers, career influencers, are completely unaware of such tactics. If they are: they keep silent. Right Brian?
Even if you do get hired there is a 1 in 3 chance they will let you go after 2 weeks anyway. People try other things besides looking for a job try anything turn a hobby into a job of sorts sell stuff at a flee market. never depend 100% on a job for your livelihood never.
Just try not to get emotional triggered by something that feels off at your current employment by panic-applying such as on Indeed because with such an emotional response you're likely just going to send the same generic resume of yourself.

I don't believe for a second your assertion that an ATS system does not perform any level of decision-making whatsoever. I've spoken to people who work on that kind of software and I can speak from that experience that many of them are in fact configured to do precisely that upon receipt of an application. Cite your sources of data that 99% of the ATS systems out there do not do that. Please. Will wait.

ATS isn't filtering out so to speak, but if your resume doesn't have the right keywords that match what the recruiter is searching... it's not being presented when the ATS returns the results. Now, search terms are... well we've all seen job descriptions that were absolutely horribly written.. so a person may be qualified for a psoition, but the recruiter or hiring manager is looking for different key words that haven't appeared in the resume. I get a TON of contacts from recruiters phoning it in and just doing key word matching and reaching out instead of actually reading the resume. Stuff like entry level helpdesk when I've got 20 years of experience on my resume , CISSP and other certs, etc.. but they want a person to install printers.... You might be a good recruiter, but there are plenty of folks out there who aren't doing the job.

The main hiring myth I believe right now is that companies are hiring. Job posts are clearly just an elaborate joke, and I've yet to discover the punchline.
My company is hiring a dev a week. Companies are hiring. Just not many
@@nicklowe_ what's your company?
Companies are hiring.
I've been meeting lots of nice homeless people lately. The idea of roaming the streets has been growing on me
this comment should be on the top of any 👍
Even if you get hired, I’ve found a lot of work places are f’d up. Broken processes, people not understanding work flow, owners not open to better ideas… there’s also zero loyalty. A job is a paycheck. A means to an end.
If it's outside service how did you get hired? Are jobs real?
yes, and it's not immediately apparent from the interview process. Been in many and fixed many companies.
Even if you do get hired there is a 1 in 3 chance they will let you go after 2 weeks anyway. People try other things besides looking for a job try anything turn a hobby into a job of sorts sell stuff at a flee market. never depend 100% on a job for your livelihood never.
You forgot outdated software for doing work. If a company you work for uses outdated tech or has internet connection issues shows the companies has a lot of issues beside high turnover rates.
The worst is that many small business owners are just born rich and survive despite the owner. That's what i aim for public companies after working for many small and mid-sized businesses
Ghosting seems to be a popular trend today. Not a nice way to treat people. So many hiring managers out there today are just not qualified.
Male recruiters should dig trenches in ukraine do something useful and be a man for once in their lives. Hr chicks and chick recruiters stay home wash dishes we need to make America great again . No 19th
I'd rather get ghosted than a rejection letter. Do you really need one of those emails that says "thanks for applying, we really like blah blah, UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS TIME....." you know the rest
@@sqlb3rn I'd prefer this to keep track of what I've applied to. Maybe it's just me
@novousabbott4926 not just you. I have a spreadsheet of the jobs I've applied to, the date, location, job title ans outcome if known.
@@sqlb3rn You have to know what's going on with your career, if you like to hear the good news or bad news. You don't want to be the guy that sits there waiting by the computer, just maybe, just maybe, they are going to get back to me. You need to know, so you can move on, and continue the fight.
As someone that looking for a new job, it's hard to beleive what is presented in this video... Maybe the reality is different but job hunting feel broken and impossible. Maybe the issue is partially on the applicant but for F sake, the ghost job, the ghosting and all the step to apply for a job (send resume, rewrite everything of the resume on the application, having to harrass the HR and recuiters) it's pure BS and need to stop.
The job search process is "broken" but you can gain an advantage if you know the rules and use them to your benefit. But I totally agree with the ghost jobs and ghosting people, the crappy applications, etc..
Work on improving your resume and interviewing skills. Your resume is the most important part of getting an interview.
I agree with what you are saying. It extends beyond just the regular job sites. State job sites are just as frustrating to deal with. I've done so many revamps on my resume, rewritten and tailored my cover letter down to the HR individual of the company, and still cannot seem to get any leeway. I've done several mock interviews to pinpoint and hone in on my weaknesses and ways to improve my answers. I've called, emailed, and inquired with recruiters and Hr, just to be met with silence. Seeing the job rejection email and the actual job posted within the same week is just heart-wrenching. I am at a total loss as to what these companies want.
I agree, it’s a broken process. However as an applicant, my focus is on a well written accurate and detailed resume first. If you have 10+ years experience it’s ok to have two pages…..Then just apply to jobs where you think you hit 70% of the qualifications. The only key thing here that takes work is actually reading the job description and their wants (it’s easy to shotgun resumes to any title that fits)
Also …..Rewriting the resume for each job is a HUGE waste of time.
It’s ultimately a numbers game. As long as you’re applying to jobs that match your resume you should have a reasonable chance even if it’s 3/100 applications you submit
Lots of smoke and mirror plots in the hiring world, go figure?
It’s a myth that not many people want to work because any time I go to a job fair that has on spot interviews (even for crappy jobs) there’s always a huge line of people.
That’s because people want the ability to afford rent/mortgage and actually feed them selves. That doesn’t correlate with them actually “wanting” to work.
@@AshtasticAcrobat thank you captain obvious
Ha! "Nobody wants to work" they say, while we're all fighting for scraps.
It's a joke. These companies want the moon for minimum wage.
I just laugh now. Used an AI tool last time, just to see if I could get away with it.
This whole thing is a circus.
So tired of employers using recruiters who do not understand the job they are hiring for, yet they make the decisions first
..What.
Most recruiters only want to send maximum candidates to client. They couldn't care less about the next steps.
Why can't the employer him or herself do the interview?
I would be working for this person, they are the one paying me, they are the one who will hire or fire me.
I would rather speak to that person rather than people further down the ladder.
This is why I prefer smaller businesses. Less people applying, and less interviews.
@dhenderson1810 sure but smaller businesses have way more extra workload on the employee. But for min wage dead end service work, im fine with small businesses.
@@asadb1990 Not everyone wants to reach for the stars, or don't have the education to.
Would you want everyone applying for corporate jobs, when that means more people you are competing against?
Be glad some people aren't competing in the same space.
@@dhenderson1810 yeah different people have different achievement standards. But no should settle at min wage service work.
I applied to a job through a temp agency and was hired on a few months later. A year and half later, I'm looking for higher pay since I make the min, and find another job, but it is through the temp agency. The temp agency said they will not let me apply to the job because I am currently working for a company that they work with. So the temp agencies get to gate keep the jobs and prevent me from ever improving. Starting to feel like I live in China. You get any old job because you are desperate for money, but then, you are trapped. The temp agencies gate keep the open jobs. I have a degree and could work a higher paying job, but they see that I've been working low level factory and disqualify me. Seems like everyone looks at your most recent job and that is what you do from now on.
I prefer if the interviewer "doesn't know how to interview".
Both my brother and myself landed jobs when we have gone to interviews where the interviewer is laid back, tells me what the job involves, let's me sell my
credentials and lets me feel comfortable enough to open up.
I have to disagree with what you said about an ATS not rejecting applicants. I can provide you a very specific recent example as proof.
About a year ago, I was applying for jobs. I applied for a technical position at very large (the largest?) cloud / virtualization vendor (not naming names). I applied with my generic resume and cover letter. I got a generic rejection letter back within minutes. I signed up for a resume service that allowed you to check your ATS score and customize your resume for the job posting. I kept tweaking my resume until I had a 90-plus ATS score. I applied for the same role at the same company. It was just a different req. number. I was contacted the next morning for an interview.
I am a job seeker and find your content totally authentic coming from the right place and the right experience to helping people out. That being said. as a job seeker I am doing a lot of research and coming across totally too many people on various platforms that call themselves experts and giving advice that is way too much contradictory of each other. I firmly believe if you have to qualify yourself as an expert before relating the subject of your content, you are no expert and you yourself can't find a job using your own advice.
“Tell me about a time” questions clearly tell me the hiring manager didn’t have a clue and went online to download interview questions.
As a software engineer I have a "technologies used" section that says what languages, frameworks, dev tools, and processes I used at that job. It's basically a keyword dump. Not sure if it's bad, but I need to list that stuff somewhere.
Super common in IT and tech. More people should do this in general
It’s also a good idea to sprinkle some of those things in your job description of what you did/worked on. Recruiters/managers only spend like 5 seconds on a resume, so you want them to notice keywords quicker, in theory.
This is good, I put mine in a “Skills” section at the very bottom of the resume. It’s a place to list any programming languages, popular programs, operating systems etc. that’s another way to hit any keywords
Also for certifications I have that section towards the top of the resume next to any security clearances (if you work in government contracting) in a “certifications.” Section under education. Then the job history.
The idea is to put the MOST important things on the top page…so a human can quickly look at it and see if you meet the basic requirements (certs, clearance, education etc)…. Then they can read more in depth if they want.
I used to have that. I dumped it in exchange for bullet points that state how I'm using the various techs.
I got a new job recently and I have had many recruiters reach out to me.
I do this too in addition to the skills section. Might be overlap but I find it lets me show the tech stack I used at a job as well as my overall skills.
As a Corporate Recruiter Ad Manager, you hit the nail on the head with tips. The only thing I will add with formatting is fonts. Crazy fonts are not attractive and distract from the content of the resume.
I got totally fed up with the job hunt. I'm getting education to a new field. If you cannot afford studies there are plenty of free courses online. Make that cv gap into a legit study/training time
I had an interview summer last year (2023) and one of the interviewers ask me 'do you have an reception experience?' I nearly responded 'well if you had read my CV carefully you wouldn't be asking me such a stupid question!!' Ofcourse I replied in a very civil manner.
They may have just gotten your info an hour before the interview. I’ve been in that situation before.
They may also ask you this to get verbal confirmation, especially if they've had applicants be dishonest on their resume.
If the recruiter's performance is measured on how quickly he will bring a candidate that gets hired for the position then why we have the same job postings reposted for 6 months and even a year and it looks like they are always looking for the same position.
That is a major sign of a ghost job, i.e. just harvesting your personal data. In the best case it would be a job with very high turnover, so would not want it anyway.
It is how they get resumés.
It's impossible to change careers without going through a herculean effort. Nobody is ever going to train you in something new. It's so defeating that it feels worthless to even try in your career
Yes, it's going to take effort. Big changes take effort - that shouldn't surprise anyone. The question is what you will do to control your own destiny.
I worked three years as a realtor, two as a machine operator and three months as general helper. Returned to college this semester to finish my graduation in psychology hoping to get a job at human resources, as I have experience from obligatory internships. Last Thursday I did an interview with a manager from a bank that is doing a partnership with the college, and he already talked about putting me in the sales department 🙄
It's even worse when you're someone like me who's not from a traditional background.
Like, I'm passionate about programming, but I had to learn everything on my own.
Had to rely on an AI tool to even get a foot in the door.
We need a system that embraces diversity and potential, not just degrees and fancy schools.
@@alibolk which AI service were you using? (asking for a friend)…
I don't think I can share links on RUclips comments, but its name was interviewhammer.
but remember you need to be able to do the job otherwise what's the point, you will be let go in no time.
Since companies love posting fake jobs in a market that is already terrible, would you say it's fair for candidates to send fake resumes with fake names to these companies to show them what it feels like to have their time wasted?
You can but I don’t think it would have the intended result.
Yes, it’s fair. If they find out you lied the worst they’ll do is fire you.
These companies are on fishing expeditions - just trolling to see what they can get. No real intention of hiring.
That sounds like a lot of work for something that won't benefit you or anyone else at all.
@@factorfitness3713 I didn’t mean I’d be the one to do it. I was just curious because companies don’t see posting ghost jobs as morally wrong, but they’d definitely feel their time was wasted if a candidate went through the whole process only to bail or admit they weren’t planning to take the job and just wanted to see what was offered.
It’s like giving them a taste of their own medicine. You’ll see their double standards kick in-they’ll say the candidate wasted their time when it’s okay for them to waste the candidate’s time.
I'm beginning to think that companies choose new employees like people choose significant others. ATS is like the corporate version of swiping left and right and the best person "on paper" is rarely chosen. The system seems to be designed to give the illusion of objectivity when in fact, it's very subjective. You will never hear anyone openly admit this since I'm sure there would be legal consequences for doing so.
Is there such a thing as Indeed in reverse, where jobseekers post their CV's and let employers browse for them, and if not, why not? In my opinion, it's long past time that companies got a taste of their own medicine. They should be reminded that they are the buyers, NOT the sellers, and they should certainly be forced to raise their standards for once.
@@martinjohnson1534 LinkedIn?
Thats basically how I use linkedin, but youll quickly come to find 99% of recruiters are totally incompetent fools and cannot read at a 5th grade level. They are professional time wasters whether you are coming to them, or they are coming to you.
OMG, yes! An Indeed in reverse would be amazing.
Between work, the kids, and trying to learn new tech, who has time for these interview gauntlets?
It's like they don't realize we have lives.

Something has to give.

@@helw7k the ai tool name I used one called interview hammer, there are other tools but this is the only one I found that I can run on another device so when asked to share the screen don't get caught. it still has a waiting list but I got it on the same day, it doesn't help if you don't know anything, but if you are 50% it can push you to be 90%.
Thanks for discussing the ATS. Right now, we only use it for tracking. What I did notice while hiring for several roles that report to me: 80% of people were not qualified in the least. Basically an apple and an orange--not even remotely qualified. 10-15% had relative skills. 5%, sometimes 10% had the right qualifications. And it's those 80% of people that are clogging the pipeline, as if they were bots. Whatever is being taught now, people really should not be randomly applying to anything. Imagine being 1 person and getting 100-200 resumes in a few hours, and 80% of them are not qualified at all. We want someone to succeed--quickly. Please target searches. This market is bad enough. Running the risk of not being seen due to the unqualified just makes it harder.
You can use the ats to filter out the 80 percent?
It is important that job seekers know this. I have not applied to jobs because I was so discouraged when I saw that there were 300 applicants in a matter of a few hours.
Myth: RUclipsrs spell-check what they write, especially video thumbnails.
@@atmyyoutube 😂😂
Excellent catch
Beleibe in the power of the inthernut
Most of recruiters mission is to wake up and ask themselves who are they going to reject today. Verified!!!
I spent 2013 to 2018 looking for a decent job spending those five years with part time, contract and time with really crummy companies dealing with psycho management. The job searching was soul crushing. From everything I see nothing has changed in the past more than six years. Ghosting, clueless hiring managers, constantly being told you're overqualified, etc. As far as ATS, yes these are nothing more than tracking systems not used to review qualifications. That is different from systems that "read" resumes looking for key/buzz words.
“I fell like it’s lazy recruiting.” Yes, that’s the problem. I can customize my resume until I am blue in the face. It won’t matter if the ATS weeds me out for whatever reason.
The point he is making that you can't apply that thinking to every single job or recruiter. You don't know that and it doesn't help you to think that way
Recruiting tells a lot about the company. Some companies ghost, some lie to your face, some actually seem interested but then "thank you for the application we chose someone else". I’m getting back to school, training to a field that is lacking employees atm.
Great overview of the role of headhunters / executive search!
Although I left high tech ages ago, I have recently heard from Director level staff at large firms that they almost exclusively use executive search for senior & specialist roles. Some even use them for medium/junior roles in order to avoid having to process 1000s of random applications in this crazy market .. and this might even work out cheaper than processing all those applications.
Job seekers should definitely be aware that headhunters tend NOT to maintain databases of possible candidates, so sending resumes to them is usually pointless.
Another great video, Bryan!!
I have applied for jobs im qualified for and gotten rejected INSTANTLY. They are definitely screening out people by ATS
Making money is not the same as keeping it there is a reason why investments aren't well taught in schools, the examples you gave are well stationed, the market crisis gave me my first millions, people shy away from hard times, I embrace them.. well at least my advisor does lol.
yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Investment without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to a great loss too
I agree. There's a lot of potential in the market.
My friend introduced me to a financial advisor in 2023 Professional Chrissy Barymoer and even though I was skeptical, I went on.

Your channel is so helpful, glad you do the work you do.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
A majority of the time, you need to know someone who already works at the company you're interested, even better would be if you knew someone on the team you're applying for. They can talk to the hiring manager about you before your resume gets seen. Seen that happen MULTIPLE times.
as a recruiter had someone who submitted a 21 page CV once
Recruiters do discriminate when your name sounds " too exotic"...
Great vid. Every single video, you hit the nail right on the head: "Just get a better resume." I want this, but look at your services and way too expensive. Do you / will you offer any discounts or sales soon? (Cant afford rn, but happy to payback when I land a well paying job again)
Honestly, I have to disagree with the 1 page resume myth.
Not because of what recruiters think, but because of the next obstacle that is the hiring manager. I've worked in some major aerospace companies, including on hiring panels, and I've never had a supervisor that didn't skip over multi-page resumes. There's too many of them to get through, and they're not making it past one page before chucking it.
The only jobs I've seen where multiple pages isn't a death sentence are highly compensated senior level management roles where there are a grand total of 10 qualified applicants to begin with.
Wow. RUclipsrs really don’t proofread their thumbnails 😮
The time-to-fill metric is subjective to the size of the company. Small companies/businesses and some mid-size, too, are often very flexible with the timeline to fill because of being on good terms with their leadership, etc. I've seen this firsthand.
Sometimes though, they are desperate to fill the position, so the whole process may take a week or two.
You know who is in charge of hiring, development, etc if those are the ones who hire the attorneys :) no matter what position you’re in. You WILL always answer to someone. Most companies preach accountability but don’t actually trust their employees to make actual decisions. Coming from a hiring manager/HR SHRM-CP with over 15 years in working for Fortune 500/100 companies.
How do companies benefit from allowing that misinformation to persist?
Not companies, hr proves they are always indispensable. Only hr benefits from that mess.
Actually after years of dealing with HR I absolutely think that at least some of them do really enjoy the power they have over other people.
I've taken stock of job-seeking advice I've received over the years and I've noticed that the best advice tends to come from people who have years of experience in the industry, but not too much that they're near or past retirement age when they haven't been in a normal job interview process in a number of years. I've gotten great advice from GenXers and older Millennials, horribly outdated advice from Boomers and older generations as though we're still in the 1980s, and naive advice from younger professionals who are still trying to figure things out for themselves. Though it should be noted that this isn't strict (for example, I've gotten good advice from a former boss who was a Boomer), just how the trends seem to go.
As a former digital marketer the last few years feel SO MUCH like the SEOs versus Google algorithm updates 'arms race' of the late 2000s/early 2010s. Some of the "hacks" people are trying are even the same methods people used to game the Google algorithms back then!!! You advise the same "whitehat" guidance of that time as well, which is that good content (e.g. well written resume) always wins out over the long run, which I agree with...and I wish it were that simple... However... recruiters do not seem to have a standard taxonomy of language by job type, and it's incredibly frustrating to feel like I have to keep adjusting my resume language to mirror whatever word choice preferences are being used by the recruiter/hiring team for a given role in order to get past the ATS filter (notably given the volume of competing applications & trying to find ways to get ahead of the pack).
Hint: follow the job posting.
This didn’t really debunk any myths, rather add more details to clarify an already convoluted process
Additionally, you didn’t address how the applicant’s relationship with the recruiter, hr manager, current employees etc are a factor in the hiring process. “Not what you know, but who you know” comes into play.
The emphasis on a well-written resume, sounds like wonderful advice. However as you gain experience and leverage your network for job opportunities, your resume writing skills mean less and less.
Facts. Who you know is the most important thing. How you present yourself in the interview is the second most important thing and the resume is at the bottom. Most people get this wrong and spend all their time in writing the perfect resume and zero time building connections.
If even people in HR hate others in hr, it says a lot if you ask me
Seasoned, aged professional, Mr '5 seconds', now clears up all the misconception we have in our heads. Listen carefully fellas! You people are dead wrong on many things. HR do care about your CV, they really do! If and when those 20something fresh-grad ultra-woke HR girls manage to take a glimpse on them between coffee-shop breaks and Tik-Tok office videos. People need to realise that instead of being polite and nice, they have to negotiate salaries with HR *ruthlessly* and need to treat HR like trash. Because that is exactly the treatment ALL of us will get, in a split second, once the company's general position/opinion/feelings/perception (you name it) changes about your work or your division, regardless how super-hard you have worked, up to a certain point. There is no security, constructive mutual development nor loyalty anymore, guys. So start to act accordingly! (trust me, it does work) Wake the F up, it's 2024, not 1993. You don't have to be nice and polite anymore. Those days are gone forever.
What I don't understand is why do recruiters only look back to the past 5 years or so of work history for relevance? Many seasoned workers have a strong professional background that is 20 years in the making. These learned skills and experiences build a stronger foundation for the whole individual. Does emotional maturity mean anything in the workplace anymore?
I just got thrown off by "many don't know how to interview" thing. Interviewed this week with a dude who has 10 direct reports and was hiring for a senior IC role that I have 90% overlap with and all he did was ask random very very specific questions about where we differ. Didn't care about the 90% overlap, how I'd fit the team, my advanced coding skills, etc. It was weird. It was like he picked the worst random questions and fails to see potential in people too
He wanted someone else and was required to interview you anyway. I've had many of those interviews. They rig it to fail the applicant. A fly on the wall would see the H1B getting an easy interview that they can pass.
LadyCatFelineTheSeventh, H1b or its equvalent, should be banned worldwide. I myself was kicked off and outsourced by an indy an. We are paying in taxes to be replaced!
So ridiculous. Who are they to assess and judge you when they're clearly incompetent themselves 😒
Haha, sounds about right. These interviews are a joke.
Half the time the interviewers don't even know what they're looking for.
I just used an AI tool to get through my last one, honestly.
Who's got time for these ridiculous games? The whole system is broken.
@@LadyCatFelineTheSeventh Hey, I just saw this comment and it's timely, because I see the coding-based job now reposted with "remote work/INDIA"!!!!!! Not even joking. So ironic because they made a big deal about team work and coming to the office every month at least, which is a big deal there because people live 50, 90 miles away....I guess it doesn't matter if you can get an Indian?
People interviewing are great in 30 years I've been alive I've seen it all kind of morons interview me. Had one guy spend 30 minutes in interview just shit talking the college I went to thus shit talking me for going to said college. I had one girl tell me she only ever interviewed 2 people before me and the interview was literally 2 minutes long she asked me one question and that was it then when I tried to ask her questions she looked overwhelmed confused and unsure what was going on. I had another girl interview me say I'd be perfect for job then came to question about pay and like she was like "So we want start you on the lowest possible pay for this position imaginable." I just looked at her and went what? like I'm clearly experienced I know wtf I'm talking about I knew she had a in house clinic lab in their building based on just seeing a box that most people wouldn't even recognize by their front door and I already knew their whole computer system they used, but no job for me cause I didn't want 16 dollars hour for job that averages 20-21 dollars an hour. Then got interviewers who think we live in a fantasy world who want the perfect answer and believe in fairy tales as if there only honesty and kindness in the world so when you give them replies based on real world experience and facts, they just shake their heads. Then there people that interview you and expect you to know how to do the job they're hiring you for before they even give you the job. Had a guy literally ask me 100 questions about how to run tests on food samples to see if it safe and what the best are test to run etc, like I'm supposed to know this shit right out of college like yah must have missed that part in my biology class, but you know some employers never heard of on the fucking job training you know.
Try to use paragraphs :)
But, yes, I know where you come from. These were for engineering jobs:
I've had cold phone calls the first Monday of September where the caller didn't know how to pronounce the most common acronyms in the field she claimed to be an hiring expert in.
I've had recruiters blatantly lie about your legal rights. "White collar workers are never entitled to overtime pay". She refused to take me on. Her company is still 30% of all local job offers on the job sites.
I've had an interviewer (in the fifth round, or so), a recently graduated, still a frat boy, who interrupted each answer with his own college story. While an older recruiter sat silent and watched. I've never heard from that company again.
I've had hiring managers and HRM who didn't understand the position they were hiring for. In essence they thought that, since they were looking for a replacement who had grown with the company, could hire and/or treat the replacement as the junior version of whoever they were looking a replacement for. The company needs a full stack developer with strong people skills who can build a solid network with peers around the company, but the current guy started out as a junior coder? Then you're a junior coder too!
I've had a recruiter talk down my requested pay and lie about benefits and beg me to get me to go an interview for an engineering job that turns out was already taken by somebody from inside the company. Me, and a third candidate, would have to compete for 6 months and then the company would hire whomever they thought was the best fit. Some of these recruiters really are desperate people.
I appreciate this channel & enjoy these videos. Interesting & informative. However, I'm thankful every day that I work in the public sector. Holy crap, corporate sounds like a nightmare. Good luck y'all, but no thanks.
Headhunters? Ghosting? Sounds like a Carnival House of Horrors. Again, no thanks.
I hate to pile on but it's hard not to be cynical of today's job market. Your resume has to be written to get past the applicant "trashing" system while and also appeaing to the recruiter then you have to pass multiple interviews. This is all assuming you get any calls and you're not wasting your time applying to ghost jobs or positions that are already spoken for.
If your applying for a job as a " grunt " do you really need a resume ?
“ATS System” is redundant, like saying “PIN Number”.
There’s a typo in the thumbnail, just a heads up
I was let go from a job I had for five years due to DEI, last year(2023). It took six months to find a new job and over 100 applications to get that. This year 2024, I was let go again after six months with no warning or real reason. It's now August/September 2024 and I've been ghosted by five employers I had interviewed with. As of today, I applied to 134 jobs, had five interviews in 8 months and still nothing. who said employers are not discriminating is talking out of there poop shoot. When employers see my age (50). I'm ghosted. One HR rep asked me why I didn't file for retirement yet, because she thought I has at "that age". Another employer told me I could not be over then 34 at time of job offer. WTF.
If you recorded that conversation you could use them for age discrimination
Unfortunately I did not record my in person interview. My zoom and teams interviews, yes. But in person no. A few HR reps actually check my phone and make sure it's off, then they put it in a safe and I have to sign it out when leaving. The tin foil hat she was wearing was a definite red flag, but I finished the interview with respect. And no, I didn't get the job and I'm greatful for that. She told up front that they supported the democratic party. That job posting has been up for almost a year. They take it down every three months, then repost it.
Exactly the same. D.I.E system is only here to be racist
How were you fired “due to DEI”?
New supervisor came in, fired three white people on day one. Hired four black people he knew. And then fired me and two other white people. Not one new person that came had a state license or any experience that would qualify them to work in my department.
I'm a designer looking for work and I scrapped my more "designerly" made resume for one that I made in Google Sheets that looks beyond boring just so it could be read properly by ATS. Is this necessary?
Brian. This is first hand experience. Can you pleaee aknowledge at least?
Only fake jobs.
1. Hire you for 3 months to use you or to fire you in the last day of probation but exactly in the performance appraisal month. Guess why in performance appraisal month? Huh.
2. Use your resume to get good work.
These 2 things happened already 4 times to me.
Those youtubers, career influencers, are completely unaware of such tactics.
If they are: they keep silent. Right Brian?
Even if you do get hired there is a 1 in 3 chance they will let you go after 2 weeks anyway. People try other things besides looking for a job try anything turn a hobby into a job of sorts sell stuff at a flee market. never depend 100% on a job for your livelihood never.
Just try not to get emotional triggered by something that feels off at your current employment by panic-applying such as on Indeed because with such an emotional response you're likely just going to send the same generic resume of yourself.
Thank you
Hey Bryan!
Hope you’re doing well.
DeleteMe does not delete you 100%
6. The person most qualified for the job gets hired.
Job market is peaks and valleys. We’re clearly in a valley. It will come back
Maybe not. AI can do a lot of new hire work. 😣
Best thing to do is find yourself a high-demand, low-supply skill set and the rest will work itself out.
@@jeremybuchanon3174 I went into Medical Education (administration) for this reason. Experience is in demand and hard to find once people retire or leave the field.
@@beinghuman927 I personally got fed up with a 25 year government career - with no significant promotion - and went to truck driving school last year. You can typically get a Class A CDL in 4 to 6 weeks training.
I enjoy it! It's made a world of difference in my working life and well being. And it's very marketable.

@@beinghuman927hacking, try hack me has a great introduction to penetration testing and red teeming. After that you can go for a junior certification like PJPT or EJPT. Once you're good enough there do some projects, and then go for the big bad boy the OSCP.
That’s a lot easier said than done. It would be awesome to have some rare skill set that’s in high demand
Typo in your thumbnail or was it intended?
Editing Error in Intro: it says “interviewing” twice in the intro B roll.
Now I have shown my ability to demonstrate attention to detail better than all the other viewers. I am God King amount men.
I like how he tries to do his best to dispel rumors and ideas about recruiting, and more than half of this comment section Is actively ignoring what's being said lol. I understand a lot of people are struggling, but maybe if you tried to take a step back and listen to what's being told it could benefit you my applying it.
That's because most people comment without ever viewing the video.
Because people don't believe it anymore.
(You have a typo in the thumbnail)
Riddle me this: if I've worked at a company for a while with the title X, why can't I get an interview at another company with the same title X, or a similar title?? 🤔 You'd think I would be a great candidate for something exactly, similar, or a step up.
Because they dont want you, they or pretend to hire or its favoritism.
@@Krlowanigu-mg6eg Well, obliviously they don't want me..
The days of just go next door and get a 25% pay increase are over for now.
I don't believe for a second your assertion that an ATS system does not perform any level of decision-making whatsoever. I've spoken to people who work on that kind of software and I can speak from that experience that many of them are in fact configured to do precisely that upon receipt of an application.
Cite your sources of data that 99% of the ATS systems out there do not do that. Please. Will wait.

If you're unemployed right now: TRAIN AI SKILLS. This will be useful. Study everything while searching for a job, don't waste that unemployment time, turn it into studies. Less CV gaps, more skills. Win-win.
I hate the whole HR dep. It´s 99% annoying feminism women xD
Hello. I see the time machine from 1952 brought you and your archaic beliefs here.
When will you be going back to your time period so the rest of us can keep progressing?
@@tcme11 I am in my 30´s you woke toad.
@@tcme11I have nothing against women. I have something against competing on same jobs. How many men go into traditionally female jobs? Huh? How many women put their physical life in danger? Percentual speaking. A very low one? Good. Now get your pill. Hope after 40yo you will cry for the rest of your life. Enjoy your tears .
First
ATS isn't filtering out so to speak, but if your resume doesn't have the right keywords that match what the recruiter is searching... it's not being presented when the ATS returns the results. Now, search terms are... well we've all seen job descriptions that were absolutely horribly written.. so a person may be qualified for a psoition, but the recruiter or hiring manager is looking for different key words that haven't appeared in the resume.
I get a TON of contacts from recruiters phoning it in and just doing key word matching and reaching out instead of actually reading the resume. Stuff like entry level helpdesk when I've got 20 years of experience on my resume , CISSP and other certs, etc.. but they want a person to install printers.... You might be a good recruiter, but there are plenty of folks out there who aren't doing the job.
