What is going on?

Literally the exact same resume I used to get my last job, if anything I have more experience in on it now. I used to go to an interview every week pre-covid, now I can't even get a call back

Getting the same thing.
Open hiring events for entry level jobs into my field (bear in mind I have a good amount of experience/education)

I even do the follow-up interviews. Don't get the job, still saying they're hiring. This has been a running theme nowadays and I don't like it, I want to fucking work

Automatically rejecting resumes for not having matching key words from the job posting is a real thing. If the job posting has shit like

>blah blah blah Microsoft Word, Excel, blah blah blah....
>blah blah blah Python Coding, blah blah blah
>blah blah blah, Excellent communication, ability to lead team, blah blah blah

If your resume has literally 0% of these words in it, it will be rejected. Some have a very high threshold like you need to have 50% of the key terms from the posting, where others have a lower threshold like 10% so you have to edit your resume a bit for each job posting or you will be FILTERED.

i just sent out like 100 applications for a second WFH job (my current one only takes up like 10 hours a week of real work total) last week and I already have 4 interviews lined up the next couple weeks, 1 I just had today and got asked to do a 2nd interview. Maybe you just suck.

I experienced this IRL.
National Shunt Services keep reposting their ad all the damn time.
They interview and have no interest in hiring.

I actually heard of situations like this but never seen it;
Just because you see a job ad does NOT mean there's a job available.
I'd say cut it all in half and you get closer to the actual number of jobs

I non-ironically think this is maybe why I've been getting so many call back with my resume in the last few months. My name is a unisex one and my spelling is even the one that women usually have. In fairness I'm just going for entry level positions so it's not like they're trying to go for diversity hires as much, but even still I've gotten about 8 or 9 responses out of the 40ish applications I've put out despite having a NEET gap of just under a decade with no college degree.

Just put down that you're a black woman. You'll get so many fucking callbacks it will make your head spin. Then just show up and say you identify as a black woman. They may not hire you but it'll be fun. Especially if you record it and post it online. Or better yet, livestream it.

Every time I apply for a job, I copy all the keywords from the posting into a text box on my resume and make it white font, in the sidebar. Totally works, and can’t be figured out when they print your resume ahead of the interview
I’ve also interviewed 10-15 people in the last 6 months. We always print out the resume to review beforehand
