    One thing I’m asking at job interviews now is “what about my resume stood out to you?” I might as well not even go in, based on their answers.

      Last time I asked that the only thing they liked was that I briefly held a job that wasn’t related to the field at all. It was working at a library. “I thought that was neat.”

      That was it. Nothing else was noteworthy.

        A few have basically stated that they didn’t even look at it people to the interview.

        The most recent one mentioned that it wasn’t “customer service focused”. Thing is, I was applying for a customer service job, and all of my jobs have had some kind of CS focus, so I dunno what they’re on about.

        Still unemployed, to no one’s surprise.
