If you're looking for a job, you know times have changed. There's no more "walk in the door, shake hands and make a personal connection" to get a gig. Nope. Instead, you have to apply online making you one of a hundred different resumes that may or may not be seen in a three second scan. Seriously, that is the job market today. It's insane. You can apply for dozens or hundreds of jobs online without garnering a single in-person interview. It's not an easy process anymore.
Two men have outsmarted the ridiculous online system of applying for jobs.
One man stood in the subway with a sign to get interviews Man's Subway Stunt Lands Job Interviews, Internet Fame.
Another man applied to hundreds of jobs online resulting in no interviews. He changed his name from Jose to Joe on his resume and guess what, he got interviews Man changes one thing on his resume and starts getting calls.
The online system of applying for jobs has eliminated the personal connection, the handshake and the eye-to-eye contact.
Even if you're employed today, how do you look on paper?
If you're unemployed, find a way to outsmart the system to get a job! Best wishes!
