A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Literally yes. I have reviewed over 10,000 resumes between my last two positions. Our current posting has 3,600 applicants.
Should we close the posting? Probably, but we don't. Whenever I have time I sift through the resumes. Most don't get looked at for even 10 seconds. Cover letters don't get read. Stop including cringe things like "Microsoft Word" before PHP and Python in your skills, it makes me think you have nothing better to offer besides what I've read so far, and I'll skip reading the rest of your resume because of it.
This is why it is soooo important to network. I'm far more likely to read a resume given to me by a friend or someone I know verses a random resume that lands in my inbox.
"Networking" increasingly just means nepotism.
It always did.
