I quit my job (Solutions Designer, pharma industry) back in October and now that I’m thinking back…. I’m starting to suspect that the applications where I had to create an account, upload CV, type out a brief description of each role that’s not a c/p from my CV, type out my skills, answer questions they would absolutely ask in an interview (why do you want to work for us?), give a salary range, and a bunch of of other bullshit are the applications I never hear back from? Not even a generic thanks for trying but keep us in mind email… On the other hand, the ones that are either “Easy Apply” or where you literally upload your resume and fill out a few demographics on one page, no registration – are the ones I actually do ever hear back from!!!
Am I crazy or are the larger companies filtering our resumes on the ATS to oblivion? Has anyone had a success story with one of these style applications?
SIDE NOTE: I graduated from Masters in 2022.. I’ve been working since 2021 – should I be using the “experienced” or “new grad” flair?
