The volume of applications we are getting for our open roles is huge and the proportion of them applying because they were laid off is higher than I've ever seen.
Given that, as you will expect, hiring teams we need to process a lot of applications and make snap decisions. You need to ensure you rise to the top by
- Keeping your CV brief and relevant
- Making it clear what things you specifically did in previous roles and their benefits
- Make it clear (e.g. in a side panel) your abilities and how they match the role you are applying for.
But yes, it's hard. The days of applicants getting ten job offers at once are over for now. At least outside AI and outside of senior positions.
