Comment on How to Create a Software Engineer Resume Hiring Managers Will Love

Comments

Before a human reads it, a machine will read it.

It is 2020, every other HR who wants to squeeze out a little more time for themselves (may be to use it to browse insta/whatsapp/FB) would end up using some shit "AI/ML tool" sold by some snake oil vendor portraying it as suberb intelligent automation that aguments recruiters' intelligence for recruitment, at scale.

Every one first has to please the API/ML-model even before a human casts a look at the resume.

Tune resume to be read easily by a machine.

The best move is to get referrals. A referral almost always allows you to bypass the nonsensical "AI/ML tool", as well as many clueless recruiters.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to check if your resume is correctly parsed by these tools?
