Hiring manager here. Here is what I look at on resumes, in this order. (This will not help with entry level)

Is your resume clearly AI generated? (Yes means I pass) If I can't tell it's AI, I don't care. Do you have the years of experience listed on the job description. Have you been at prior jobs for more than a year. One job less than a year is fine, more is a trend Have you worked in the specific areas I am looking for in the JD at least 1 prior job. Is your resume coherently written in the language I am hiring for

If you pass all of these I will likely bring you in for an intro screen with me or our recruiter.

What are your criteria to judge whether a resume was "clearly AI generated"?

Have you been at prior jobs for more than a year. One job less than a year is fine, more is a trend

How is that relevant? Especially if you do not know the reasons. Maybe someone had a bad luck streak and was very unhappy at the prior employers. Someone does not necessarily know things like these beforehand. That's what probation periods are there for. Speaking of: there are multiple companies who hire people just for a short amount of time and fire them before the end of the probation. Basically exploiting the system. Then there are projects with a limited duration of time, maybe less than a year, for which one got hired for. I can think of more possibilities.

You will never be able to infer the real reasons just by looking at a piece of paper with a list of previous work experiences. You would need to talk to those people. Otherwise this selection criterion seems arbitrary.

Shocking how I fit all these criteria and still only got two interviews.

And I'm probably pretty lucky.

Addendum: you'd be surprised how few resumes meet these requirements. I'd say less than 3%

Anecdotally, plus one here. Although the job market is shit right now, good people are hard to find.

seems pretty arbitrary and employers do use software to screen people out as well.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I actually fit all of those criteria, except that I am looking for entry level IT jobs.

I don't use AI for my resume or cover letter, my last two jobs each lasted 5 years. I was an accountant (not super specialized, though, just basic book keeping) for a bookstore at a major university and did a lot of unofficial tech support for them. Before that I was a bartender and a waiter. I've had tons of other jobs, but I figured 10 years of solid employment history was enough.

I've also got a bachelor's degree in management and recent A+ and Network+ certificates. I'm working on various IT related projects in my spare time, etc. Is it really just because I'm seeking entry level positions? I'm even applying to "entry level" stuff but they all want two years of experience somehow. I don't understand why people aren't allowed to be new at things, even when they've got certifications saying they're qualified.

It's getting very frustrating out here lol

What level are you talking about here?

Is it technical or management?

And in what field?

What about entry level?
