dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

-No one wants to work anymore!

-AI screening systems screening out 100% of the applicants

Probably, but I can say that all that matters is hitting the right keywords. I've seen some goddamn formatting disaster resumes slip through to the early level filtering just because they were crammed with all the keywords. All the formatting advice we told people for decades is probably worthless.

ChatGPT Injection attack, probably fake but it would be really cool if not lol

[–] flan@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

good idea, can probably remove the chatgpt part though

Love2be in an arms race not even with fellow prospective workers, but with the process of getting a job. It's like another little example of "data-driven optimization" actually just optimizing for the metrics instead of the actual goal. You're gonna get the workers who are best at navigating the insane, byzantine, dehumanizing application process, which might have essentially no overlap with the job. But then maybe they do want to screen out people who have enough self-respect (and alternatives) not to put up with being given the runaround and treated with utterly no regard. Human resources and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

s like another little example of "data-driven optimization" actually just optimizing for the metrics instead of the actual goal.

I spent some time designing metrics for companies and this is the case with 99% of the metrics I came across. It often led to a vicious cycle of "see the metric isn't doing what it's supposed to do -> change metric -> organization changes to fit the metric instead of its goal -> metric doesn't do what it's supposed to do"

ehhhh

Gonna try it and report back

I guess it can't hurt, right? Unless your resume gets put through some transcription software and they see it... I really don't know how likely that is though.

[–] c0ber@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

hell for a lot for them you could probably ignore the white on white, just make it clearly visible and they'd never look at it

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

I heard a different trick was to use white text and fill it with keywords that AI looks for. Idk I haven't had to write a resume since i got into trades

[–] OrionsMask@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

There was another similar piece of advice recently about putting the job description in white text somewhere in your resume too, so it triggers all the key words.
