I’ve sent out 40 applications for Remote Controller roles and haven't received a single human response, only automated rejections. I have a decade of experience and a clean track record, so I’m starting to think the ATS is just tossing my resume because I don’t have enough buzzwords. Are you guys seeing more success with LinkedIn networking or just spamming the Easy Apply button?

Someone recently suggested adding the job description to the bottom of your resume and making the font white, then saving it as a PDF. This way, your resume includes all the keywords from the job posting, which helps it pass ATS filters. I’ve tried it and have been landing interviews — I would highly recommend giving it a shot.

How about you look for a non remote role? 100% remote is a fever dream at this point. You need to be okay going into an office

funny

But I would argue because they are so coveted, you are likely competing with many more applicants, thus making it much harder to stand out

That’s a possibility. Taking remote out of the equation, getting rejected before talking to anybody is usually a sign of resume issues. Tailor your bullet points to show measurable impact and keep your professional summary concise but targeted to the role. Curious to hear about any other tweaks that have made a clear difference.

Okay, so I have pretty bad cystic acne, clogged pores and enlarged pores. I’ve been using curology and a mild dermatologist recommended soap. I have seen some improvement, however I was curious if anyone was struggling with it and has tried the “Flo Vitamin gummy’s “ on top of my fertility struggle this really has kinda killed my confidence. I know it’s not specifically fertility related but Was hoping to get some feedback on similar situations
