Someone checked out @FluidBright and actually liked it 🙏 Early days, but this keeps me going

@RecruitmentPq Two-stage rejection: Stage 1: Algorithm. 6 seconds. No explanation. Stage 2: Human. 3 weeks. "After careful consideration." The consideration was never about you.

Job hunting in 2026 is uploading your CV into a system that rejects it automatically, so a human can manually reject you three weeks later.

@on_bami MP4 of you begging = they want to see your desperation before they ghost you. The video takes 2 hours to record. The rejection takes 6 seconds to auto-send.

companies nowadays will be like attach your resume, cover letter and literally a video of you begging for the job in mp4 format.

@saasab2e @AramideOyekunle "Clarity on keywords", exactly what most job seekers never get. The JD says "project management." The candidate writes "led teams." Same skill. Zero match. Who's responsible for that gap, the job seeker or the system?

Dear Applicants, As you dey find job, we sef dey find you. Try get wetin we dey find. Yours sincerely, HR.

@Bloke_Baz Month 1: "I'm taking time to find the right fit." Month 6: "I'll take anything." Month 9: "Does anywhere even exist?"

Being unemployed is all fun and games until you literally can’t find a job ANYWHERE

@S_N_SH_E_ Quit at question 47. The job required 3 years experience. I had 5. The form asked for my high school GPA. I'm 30. Applications aren't designed to find the best candidate. They're designed to filter out the ones who won't endure the nonsense.

Anybody else ever QUIT filling out a job application because it was asking too many questions ?

@therajibarakat @AramideOyekunle "Best for the job" and still rejected. The system isn't broken — it's working exactly as designed for people it was never designed to protect. Your excellence didn't fail. Their bias did.

@FluidBright @AramideOyekunle Exactly, it's not only you I passed an interview stage to the last, and I got to know I didn't get the job because I'm a Hijabi, and a student. Just flimsy excuses, but they never denied the fact i was the best for the job So, sometimes it's not you.

No Interviews Invites? Your CV is the Problem! No Offer After Interviews? You are the Problem!

@DesignsByGolem 1. Format — single column, plain text. No graphics. 2. Language — mirror the JD. "Led teams" ≠ "Project management." 3. Metrics — "Increased revenue 40%" beats "Responsible for sales." Checked all three and still silence? Happy to look at yours.

Hi Guys , I need some honest advice. I’ve been consistently applying for jobs for quite a while now, but I’m not getting any interview opportunities. Is there something I should be doing differently? How do you stand out in applications and increase your chances of getting shortlisted?

@pushpanjalihere Everyone is hiring. No one is replying. The job board is a billboard. You're the billboard's product.

Everyone is hiring, but no one is actually hiring.

@on_bami The rejection email is more familiar than the application. You've memorized "unfortunately" but forgotten the job title. That's not job hunting. That's spamming with a resume attached.

That stage when you apply for so many jobs and start seeing rejection emails, and you're like, “Wait a minute, when did I even apply for this role?”

@FaijoProsper 6 channels. 1 resume. 0 results. It's not where you apply. It's what you send.

I’ve applied to jobs through email. I’ve applied through company websites. I’ve applied through Applications. I’ve applied through handwritten letters. I’ve applied through Google Forms. I’ve applied through LinkedIn. No results yet, but we keep going

@jobswithshay Sending 100 generic applications vs sending in 5 tailored CV’s. The latter is always going to get you more results, I promise you. For the 5 you send, ask yourself: What do they need? What type of person are they looking for? What problem do they need me to solve?

@kritikakodes Lying = short-term win, long-term anxiety. Reframe = same result, no risk. "Led a team" → "Project management." The system wants keywords. Give it keywords from your real experience.

Hot take: Start lying in your resume and if you get select, then start learning.

@the_mystiquee "No experience" = "no paid experience." The system can't tell the difference between a job and a project that took 6 months and solved a real problem. Build the project. List the metrics. Apply anyway.

No one gives you a job without experience, and you can’t get experience without a job

@omgsidewalks No job is worth writing a cover letter for. But every job is worth having a cover letter ready for. The 6 seconds a recruiter spends on it might be the 6 seconds that separate you from the "resume only" pile.

There’s no job worth writing a cover letter for.

@Halosznn_ Exactly. You can have the perfect message and the wrong envelope.

@FluidBright Right

Nobody is telling job seekers this. A resume gap will not disqualify you but presenting it wrong will cost you the offer. So here is how to structurally reframe a resume gap that shifts a recruiter’s perspective 👇 Stop labeling your experience as “work experience”, label it as what you did instead. Graphic Designer ? “Graphic Design experience”, Writer? “Writing Experience”, Marketer? “Marketing Experience”. So all your experience sits under this category, corporate or freelance, from there let your bullet points carry the weight by showing scope, responsibility, progression and results. If at all, after this you’re asked about the gap during an interview, don’t say you were unemployed, talk about learning, “I used this duration to upgrade my skills, learn new tools, i took courses”. The aim is to never let them know you didn’t do anything during the gap, so deflect with value

@CynthiaOzumba "Fix what you are sending first", this is the line most people skip. They think "fix" means prettier fonts. You mean: mirror the job description language, add metrics, strip the graphics, make it readable by the system that sees it first. Same version everywhere = invisible.

The platform was never the problem. I say this with all the respect in the world - but applying everywhere is not a strategy. It is exhausting yourself on the wrong thing while the actual problem sits untouched. I have been on the other side of this. I have seen what hiring managers look at and I promise you Nobody is telling you to stop applying. But applying more to the same broken process will give you more of the same result. The platform is not the problem. You are sending the same version of yourself everywhere and expecting a different outcome. Fix what you are sending first. Then watch how differently people respond Then apply.

@stanlee0nX Job hunting is a job. The hours are 24/7. The pay is silence. The boss is an algorithm. And if you quit, you lose your actual job too.

Job hunting is a job….an unpaid one.
