2.03.25: Job Hunting

Job hunting has gotten to an absolutely insane point. There are AI filters, ATS systems, and recruiters who have to sift through hundreds, sometimes thousands, of applications just to find a match. It feels less about showcasing your skills and more about beating an algorithm. The entire process is exhausting before it even begins. I’m thankful to be employed right now, but I can’t help but dread the thought of ever having to apply again. It’s become a game of who knows how to outsmart the system, rather than who’s the best fit for the job. It’s truly overwhelming.
