Defeat the LLMs scanning your resume with this one weird trick

It is an awful time to be looking for a new job. The market is brutal. Frustrating doesn’t even begin to describe the process. Maddening. Sisyphean. Kafkaesque.
Companies list roles they have no plans to hire for. Cover letters now need to be optimized to impress bots. It all sucks.
You know what would make the process a lot easier? Giving the people doing the hiring $200,000. I feel like that amount of straight cash would be enough to put you over the top.
An absurd thing to suggest, I know. I know. But what if it’s not your money? That would be a very smart investment in your career. Especially if no one appears to take any issue with it.
No one, that is, except for FOIAball.
Whenever I chat with sources, I always ask the same question: “What’s really annoying you right now?”
It’s a good way to get tips without seeming like you’re pressing for big secrets. People tend to get going on things they don’t like, and they wind up talking a lot more. Like when I spoke with a former administrator a few months ago.
