listing "AI skills" with zero specifics is becoming the new "proficient in Microsoft Office" imo. like cool but what does that actually mean, can you prompt engineer or just use chatgpt to write emails

honestly the worst one i keep seeing is "proficient in Microsoft Office" in 2026. like yes we know you can open Excel. the real cringe is when ppl list AI tools they clearly used once — just say youre learning, nobody expects mastery yet

Juggling

(Not really but really)

“Attention to detail” with terrible mistakes or empty spaces with prompts to fill out that weren’t
I have a folder for these resumes and it’s hilarious

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
