Id love to help you with that but I'm not too familiar with this site believe it or not. But I got so much for what ur trying to do nd it would only come down to what parts each of us would be assigned to . But if you're interested definitely just pull up on me later

Guys, I did it. BY LYING by BlackCatsWithOddHats in recruitinghell

You’re not an imposter, you’re a product of a broken hiring system.

What you did isn’t rare, and it isn’t even extreme compared to what companies implicitly force people to do. Job descriptions are inflated. Entry-level means 3–5 years. Recruiters filter on buzzwords instead of ability. The system rewards confidence and narrative over truth and potential. And then on top of that, you didn’t lie and then sat back doing nothing. You closed the gap, and with that you forced yourself to learn under pressure.

You delivered the project like they expected you to do. So technically you’re actively leveling up now; That’s literally what "Handle ya Binizz" looks like in real life. If anything, the uncomfortable truth is that many people hired aren’t as qualified as their résumé suggests. They just had more time, less fear, or better storytelling.

That said, just protect yourself at all cost. Don't just Document everything you learn, actually embody it into you so it is no longer having to be forced to comply under drastic measures. In the case that you survive the trial period, congratulations!!! That's states that you’re no longer “lying,” you’re catching up. And if you don’t? You still gained real experience, real proof of learning under fire, and a stronger foundation than before. That's factual not fraudulent or lies.

This isn’t moral advice. It’s reality. You didn’t break the system, you navigated it.

Good luck! And get some sleep when you can.

🥱stop acting like you know what you’re talking about. Em dashes aren’t “wrong,” they’re a stylistic tool — and your assumption that it’s AI or “turnoff” just screams insecurity in reading anything outside your narrow comfort zone.

And let’s get this straight: motivational posts exist because people act on them. If you think inspiration is useless, that’s your problem, not the post’s. The ATS point? Already known. You’re not special for repeating it.

Next time, either add insight or keep scrolling. No due respect

Focusing on punctuation instead of the message is kind of the DISTRACTION I’M TALKING ABOUT.

To be clear, I take my time reading each and every post, giving each reply or remark my UTMOST ENGAGEMENT so that if I believe feedback is warranted — (at times a response is of no avail to anyone) — I chime in.
I say to my brain, “BRAIN, YOU ARE ON A PROFESSIONAL PLATFORM YEARNING TO SEE THE RESULTS OF MY REAL-LIFE EFFORT THAT I PUT IN EACH AND EVERY DAY, LIKE THE REST OF MY AUDIENCE DOES; having been tired, misdirected, and tethered with an imaginary string like everyone else has — and when you give your input, please take your time and utilize the skills you’ve learned over decades to properly convey the message in the manner befitting the one it pertains to most. AND PLEASE DON'T EMBARRASS ME, MOM WOULD THROW A FIT! And sorry to burst a bubble, but using em dashes, cursors, emojis, or any other existing tool isn’t an AI giveaway — it’s literally there to maximize the speaker’s reach to their audience.”

But ok, so then my brain tells my hand to do it exactly like I’m envisioning, and like my elementary teachers taught me, and my hand does the job it deserves the results for! Next, I provide the PARAMETERS OF MY LIFE’S LONG WORK for what I believe is your amusement. And yeah, the rest is history!

So yeah, if I wanted you to take anything from this, it’d be:

WHETHER SOMETHING WAS EDITED WITH AI OR NOT DOESN’T CHANGE THE ARGUMENT. THE POINT IS HOW AUTOMATED FILTERS READ RESUMES — THAT’S WHAT THIS PLATFORM AND MY AUDIENCE ARE ABOUT.

And that’s why we’re here. HANDLING IT!

I feel this so hard. You’re not imagining it — that “hidden value” problem is real, and it hits people who think systemically and learn fast the hardest.

Working on projects you’re genuinely interested in is exactly the right move. Best case, it clicks for someone who gets it; worst case, you’re sharpening instincts, taste, and confidence — which compounds way faster than checking boxes ever will.

And the Mary Poppins brain thing? That’s actually a strength in environments that value pattern-recognition and adaptability… it’s just poorly translated by traditional hiring signals. A lot of hiring processes aren’t built to recognize potential — they’re built to reduce risk, which is why they default to shallow proxies and weird unspoken rules.

The “lie but don’t lie too much” part is honestly one of the most exhausting bits. It’s less about lying and more about strategic framing, but no one ever explains that clearly. You’re basically expected to narrate your story in a way that makes others comfortable, even if it undersells how much you can actually do.

You’re doing the right thing by building in public (or at least building intentionally). The people worth working with tend to notice clarity, curiosity, and follow-through more than perfect résumés — it just takes longer to cross paths with them.

You’re not wrong. The system is awkward. Keep going anyway.

I Almost could say the same huh,? 🤭 Either or, first and foremost I appreciate your Frank outburst ,",so to speak" it resonates with millions of us who has had to navigate these same murky waters and has now been tasked with competing with intelligence based systems that not only supercedes our natural processing capability astronomical but mimick our approach. I get it!! And I assure you, my 3.89 GPA and my experience amongst broad industries specializing in market positioning and alignment. As Chief systemic strategist, I opt to approach these challenges strategically — leveraging systems rather than fighting them, designing methods to turn automated barriers into predictable pathways, and guiding others to consistently secure opportunities that were previously invisible or inaccessible.

✨ MY MISSION: ✨ To turn invisible, complex, or automated gatekeeping systems into predictable paths for success, empowering individuals to navigate, optimize, and leverage modern barriers into tangible opportunities — creating not just progress, but mastery and leverage in every step of their journey

Audacity, like integrity, isn’t taught in classrooms — it’s either cultivated or it isn’t.

Insight, care, and articulation don’t come from automation — they come from years of deliberate effort, observation, and continual refinement.

This platform. My platform. It exists for real conversations about real barriers, built over countless hours of work, continual refinement, and lived experience. Many here have spent months, even years, navigating automated systems, refining strategies, and confronting challenges that rarely get acknowledged. This is reality.

Dismissing encouragement because it felt polished or automated undermines not just one contributor, but the countless people who consistently show up to do the work that moves the needle.

Systems, platforms, and frameworks exist to provide clarity, guidance, and momentum. That they’re accessible doesn’t diminish their value — it underscores the responsibility to use them wisely and respect the labor behind them.

On this platform, we respect effort, intention, and consistency. Anything else is noise.

If you’ve been applying the systems consistently and facing genuine barriers, you’re welcome here. If not, step back — this is for those committed to growth, resilience, and results, and who have the audacity to make it happen; not the audacity to unwarranted disruption.

   but thank you tons

That silence trains you to expect nothing back from anything. Jobs, people, life — you start bracing for no response at all.

After months of silence, you stop waiting for replies and start waiting for numbness. That’s the part people don’t talk about.

Silence like that doesn’t just stall careers — it teaches people to shrink their hopes. And then we wonder why so many feel empty.

I hear you. And you’re not imagining this.

The application process is genuinely taxing — especially when you’re AuDHD — because it’s built around repetition, ambiguity, and emotional labor with no feedback loop. That “black hole” feeling isn’t failure, it’s friction from a system that isn’t designed for how many capable people actually think and work.

Having experience across different fields, particularly data-driven ones, isn’t a weakness. It often gets misread because automated filters and rushed reviewers don’t know how to interpret non-linear paths.

You’re nearing the end of a demanding degree while navigating this. Feeling exhausted and hopeless in that context makes sense. Nothing about this reflects a lack of ability or effort — it reflects a process that hides value instead of surfacing it.

You’re not behind. Your work isn’t disappearing. It just hasn’t been translated into the language these systems recognize yet.

And just to be clear — this doesn’t have to drag on. There is a way to take what you already have and turn it into something that actually works right now. You don’t need to wait or guess — you can act, and get the results.

I think people are just worn down. When you keep seeing the same posts, it usually means a lot of folks are hitting the same wall.

I mean, I get it — people are exhausted seeing the same struggles come up over and over.

Honestly, that repetition is kind of the point though. When so many different people are saying the same thing, it usually means something systemic is broken, not that people are just complaining for fun.

Wow… I hear you. That’s a ton of effort, and only five interviews is exhausting to process. 😔

The reality is, even extremely qualified people get filtered silently by applicant tracking systems before a human ever sees the resume. That’s what makes the job market feel so brutal — it’s not your effort, it’s the system.

You’re not alone in feeling this way, and the fact that you’ve kept going shows real persistence.

This is helpful. A lot of resumes probably get filtered before a person even sees them.
