    Considering what I’ve entered into job applications and still gotten the job, I am pretty fucking sure nobody actually reads your resume or application until 15 minutes before your interview if ever. I’ll put some crazy BS in mine just to see if they read it and have never been asked about any of the crazy shit I have on there. Like being a manager of a non-existent company when I was only 3 years old. Or using myself as my references.

      As someone that was hiring that is correct and I didn’t read the other 200 resumes sent in either. Picked 5, interviewed and hired 1 out of the 5 resumes I read

          No, its not. I also hire and we take the time to look through the CVs of relevant candidates. If I call someone in I will have questions about their CV for the interview.

          Where the lottery actually exists is whether you are the same type of person as the interviewer, because that has more of an influence on whether you get hired.

        Reminds me of the green text of the HR person who throws the top half of the resume pile in the garbage because they don’t want unlucky people working there
