Y'all. I just saw another "expert" post about how you should lie on your resume to beat the bots.

I'm not just annoyed. I'm actually worried.

There is so much bad advice floating around this platform that it’s becoming a full-time job just to debunk it. If you're a job seeker, I am begging you—please stop listening to people who have never actually sat in a recruiter's chair.

✔️ Recruiters are humans (mostly).

✔️ We don't "rank" you based on a secret keyword score.

✔️ We look at your experience, your impact, and your potential.

✔️ If your resume looks like a word-cloud, we're going to pass.

The "hacks" you're being sold are actually HURTING your chances. When you stuff a resume with invisible text or fake titles, you aren't "beating the system." You're just making yourself look dishonest when a real person finally opens the file.

And they WILL open the file.

We need to stop treating the job search like a video game to be glitched. It’s about connection. It’s about showing how you can solve a company's problems.

You can't "prompt" your way into a soul.

So, the next time you see a post promising a "secret trick" to land a 200k job? Do me a favor and keep scrolling. Save your energy for the stuff that actually matters—like networking and building real skills.

I care about y'all too much to watch you get scammed by another "career coach" barnacle.

As you were. 😉
