How on Earth did you get 23 interviews on 27 applications? And then 20 offers from 23 interviews??? Even if I'm applying to like McDonalds a few of the postings are old or they don't see my application or something

Teach me the way, sensei

I have no fucking idea. I really don’t. My resume is bangin though (I think) and I tailor each to each app?? I also think that somehow the job market in horticulture is really good right now. Don’t know why that would be or if it’s true, but kind of seems like it from my experience

Edit: My intel from 80% of these jobs is that they haven’t gotten a lot of quality applicants. For whatever reason.

That would have been my guess, although it’s a bit mean IMO, but according to my grandfather it’s “tink". I’m not sure it really translates now that classy people don’t use silly euphemisms so much.

Any chance you could create a template/example resume based off of the one you use? I would love to build mine similarly

I honestly would but the next couple weeks are going to be fucked getting ready and I don’t think I’ll have time. I use a simple word format with one small left column for contact, skills, and qualifications, and the bigger right column for work experience and education. I don’t use any of those weird rating widgets because I hate them but I know they’re popular now. I honestly think employers in my industry would find them irritating

This is pretty standard once you have unique skill sets. You highlight your relevant experience depending on how their job posting was phrased and the company culture.

Exactly this. I have super broad experience so it just doesn’t make sense to use the same resume. Also yeah they just wanna see that you’re a good fit for that specific role

In 2019-2020 I put out 2 applications, got 2 interviews, and got 2 offers. I’ve probably put out like 10 applications ever.
