I keep seeing recruiters on Reddit say the same thing: they aren't rejecting most applicants because of ATS. They're just reviewing hundreds of resumes and only spending a few seconds on each one. If your experience doesn't clearly match what they're looking for, they move on.

After reading that I started comparing my resume to every job description before applying. I've been using ZoeVera and Rezi to see where my resume isn't communicating my experience very well. In a few cases, I realized I already had the experience they wanted but described it differently. Changing the wording made my resume much easier to read.

It's not like every application suddenly turned into an interview but my callback rate has definitely improved. I'm getting about one callback for every eight applications now.

For anyone else who's job hunting right now what's made the biggest difference for you?
