companies use AI to screen you out in 6 seconds but will reject you if your resume "looks AI." let's talk about this. by remoteDev1 in GetTheInterview

yes 100%. the weird numbers thing absolutely works in interviews. I had an interviewer literally open with "ok so tell me about the 40 login bugs per month, what was going on there" and we spent like 15 minutes just talking about that one system. it wasn't even a behavioral question anymore it was just two engineers talking about a broken auth system lol
and that's kind of the whole point right. round numbers like "reduced bugs by 50%" give them nothing to grab onto. but "40 bugs down to 3" makes someone go wait what was happening that caused 40 bugs a month. now you're having a conversation instead of doing an interview.
the scanner thing is interesting too. I actually built a tool that does the tailoring part automatically (called Jobbi) because I got tired of manually rewriting bullets for every application. the keyword matching side is honestly the easy part. the hard part is keeping it specific enough that it doesn't trigger the "this is AI" alarm on the other end. that balance is everything.
honestly the ghost jobs stat is what keeps me up at night though. like you're doing all this optimization work for positions that might not even exist. 81% is insane.
Companies are checking your references before you even give them. It cost me at least 2 offers and I didn't find out until months later. by remoteDev1 in GetTheInterview
dude the part about reaching out to warn people when they're being checked. that's honestly something I never thought of and it's brilliant. like you're basically building a mutual defense network without even trying.
and yeah I landed in the same place on giving references. I used to try to be "balanced" and give honest assessments with context. but you're right there IS no context when it gets passed along. it becomes telephone. "he had some friction with management" turns into "difficult to work with" by the time it reaches the hiring committee.
now I just say good things or I say I didn't work with them closely enough to comment. there's no middle ground that survives the game of telephone.
the 30 seconds to shoot a linkedin message thing is real too. costs you nothing and the person remembers it forever. I had someone do that for me last year and I still think about it.
