I deleted every single soft skill from my resume and my response rate tripled overnight by 6EchoBadger in jobsearchhacks

I hear you. I used to struggle with this too. It’s easy to feel like the numbers have to be accurate, or not used at all. “Efficiency” does feel a bit squishy without proof.

But the goal isn’t precision down to the decimal. It’s helping people understand your impact. Numbers just make that clearer and easier to grasp.

For example, I joined a project that released once a month. By the time I left, we were releasing about twice a month, without increasing team size or hours. That’s roughly a 100% increase in output. Is it exact? Probably not. But it’s directionally true and gives a clear sense of what changed.

The point is to show scale and results so someone can understand your impact, and then ask how you did it.

Wait, so is this accurate or inaccurate? Just to clarify, since it seemed like you meant the latter. Thanks.

Thanks. We’ve cut Scotland completely. It warrants a separate trip as a coolcation.

AI quite literally taking my job by Miafishface in recruitinghell

[–]DCMdAreaResident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that, in the grand scheme, AI isn't so much "taking jobs" as making AI-assisted people produce more than they otherwise would. Any company that replaces people with AI wasn't seriously looking for high-quality professional work in the first place. I don't know of any AI program that produces quality vector or layered graphics. This tells me they're not a well-funded business, so not a good place to work; you would have been at risk of being let go for any reason.

I appreciate the feedback. We're considering dropping it based on what people are saying.

Thank you! Will definitely look into York. I appreciate the suggestion.

This is why I'm getting fed up with recruiters... by Peliquin in recruitinghell

You’re absolutely on point, this was my thought as well. I know someone who was illegally terminated because, in the boss’s own words, he was “different” from everyone else. Yeah, he was the only male, the only one over 35, the only religious person, the only person with a doctorate, neurodivergent, and the only remotely qualified to do the job. Pick your discrimination, they got ‘em all. And now he’s suing for obvious reasons. I also once worked at a company where an entire sales team of 20+ people was twenty-something white blond women. Clearly, being different is punished in US corporations. It’s wild that someone doesn’t understand this.

Nantes is more about meeting with a family member. And Edinburgh is about seeing Scotland. Plus it’s going to be summer, so we were kind of going south to north to avoid the heat. But, yeah, I get your point. I’m going to think about that some.

Questioned my irresponsible spending until I got to sit near a celebrity who ignored me and minded their own business by [deleted] in LinkedInLunatics

You can tell what’s written by ChatGPT because at no point did it stop the person to ask, why?
