As a hiring manager, I see right through this bullshit, it has grown entirely too tedious at this point and it never goes past that initial review. Brevity and pointed accomplishments are so refreshingly rare, they get top billing. Consistently.
You say that, yet most hiring managers won’t look at non embellished resumes as studies and even interviews have shown
It’s good that you are more keen on genuine resumes- it saves effort and precious time on both ends- but unfortunately most aren’t
Then genuinely they have no business hiring people. Which probably won’t surprise you.
I mean you won’t find me disagreeing with ya. It’s just how it is unfortunately.
And as long as managers tend to be incompetent like that, you’ll unfortunately be swamped with embellished resumes.
Your effort is much appreciated, but don’t get angry at the people making the resumes for being forced to play a messed up game that wastes their time.
These are the ones trying to be honest who don’t know what you want. The liars already know to keep it simple, just how you like it.
Not giving my age or career away, but I’ve done hundreds and hundreds of interviews. If they snow me based on their resume, they are very unlikely to do so on their interview. I may be an outlier, but I don’t regret any of the hires I’ve made over the years as a result.
Ah but the question is what does the AI filtering software prefer that looks at everyone’s resume before it ever reaches the hiring manager? Just making it to an actual human is a major hurdle these days.
Exactly. Hiring managers want us to stop using AI to write our resumes, they should stop using AI to filter them. Fair is fair.

Agreed. That bullshit should be in the cover letter.
The resume should be clear, clean, and concise.
if you want to say that you told someone else to change a light bulb you could write:
oversaw the rapid deployment of a new environmental illumination system in accordance with all existing industry health and safety regulations.
Ah but you could use that wording anyway to leave it ambiguous because you technically oversaw the work by performing it single-handedly with no external oversight
You were a team leader
I’m not writing a fanfic just to get hired by your god damn company.
Then you might be either lucky or currently homeless.
Bold of you to assume I had zero safety incidents…
Adapted to changing conditions, recovered from unexpected downtime

Over the weekends, I demonstrated adeptness in the strategic incorporation of vaporized botanicals for cognitive enhancement, complemented by the consummate management of nutritional intake through artisan-crafted, tuber-derived consumables.
Sorry, we need someone with expertise in dairy based frozen desserts.
Absolute class craft consumables only hahaha
That’s obviously a misleading resume.
He must have used both hands.
Zero safety incidents
No one’s gonna believe that, gotta make it at least a little realistic
I mean, how badly can you fuck up changing a lightbulb?
If you happen to be uninstalling an old light that has mercury or whatever toxic things are in it you could poison yourself if you break it.
Don’t get me started on those stupid ass “open architecture” or whatever the fuck they call it with lightbulbs on a celing 40 fucking feet above a flight of stairs…
Provided leadership and experience guiding me employees through a complex project. Also created a technical manual covering the implementation for the next team.
guiding me employees

How would you write “I changed a light bulb” on your resume?
