I thought it was a known thing that the purpose of a resume was to get past HR so that you could interview with the people who would actually hire you. Granted, I've been out of the game for six glorious years, but HR was a known roadblock to success back when Clinton was president.

Don't think they don't know it, either. Having put a social worker through grad school, lots of her cohort went into HR. They were unhappy. Lots of her friends came from HR. They were unhappy. There's a chick who keeps trying to connect with me on LinkedIn and each and every time I have to go "bitch, the last interaction we had was you laying me off." Sad thing is, as that particular industry was small, many of the people at that job had been laid off by her in the past from other jobs.

She seemed like a nice enough person, but fundamentally useless in all things. And you don't hang with the hangman, you know?
