      I’ve interviewed far too many pale where the interview went like this:

      It says you worked on this huge project, how did it work?

      Oh, I was on the team but I wasn’t really involved in [MAIN PART OF PROJECT].

      Okay, well what did you work on then?

      I was on the team. I coordinated with the team.

      HR said I can’t abruptly end these interviewes anymore and there’s 50 minutes left on the clock. How did you get through the other screening emails again?

        “Well, I don’t interact directly with the customer. My assistant does that. Listen, I’m a people person, my job is important!”

        This is why I can’t seem to even get an interview. People just apply to any and all jobs using whatever cv/experience they have or don’t have.

          Honestly I hate it.

          I hate wasting my time interviewing these people. I hate that HR does such a shit job on the most basic of screening. I hate that every job gets 1000 shit ai generated resumes that are full of lies when there are good people out there struggling.

          I don’t care if your project was fancy or exciting, I just need to understand your technical contributions and skillset.

          Starting off with lying on the resume is just a total non starter for me.
