A.I. job interview: Job hunting was already hard. Then came glitching HR robots (slate.com)
In late January, Tyler Jensen felt a brief rush of excitement. After months of job searching, the 40-year-old New York videographer received a text message from someone at a company he’d applied to online. The person introduced themself as Robyn, said they were a virtual recruiter (a statement Jensen took to mean that they were a remote employee tasked with sorting through online applications), and asked to set up a time for a phone call to discuss his candidacy.

Ask HN: Why don't hiring managers provide feedback? (ycombinator.com)
I have been applying for SWE positions for nearly 2 months now, at an average of 1 application per day. Of the 37% that have responded, nearly 70% have been rejections, to which I send a message thanking them for consideration and asking if they have any constructive feedback in how I might improve either my application, interviewing (if applicable), or my KSAs.

1 in 5 online job postings are either fake or never filled, study finds (gizmodo.com)
The job hunt can be a slog. Confusing job portals, dense competition, and time-consuming application processes all conspire to make job hunting one of the most annoying experiences on the planet. After all the work that goes into an application, 99.9 percent of the time you hear nothing back. It’s enough to make you feel like you’re firing applications into the abyss—as if the jobs you’ve applied to never existed in the first place.

Ask HN: How to work at a bigger tech company? (ycombinator.com)
My career trajectory looks something like this: medium sized publicly traded company, early startup, another startup over the course of about 5 years.<p>I’m pretty tired of the startup scene to be honest and would like to try to work at a larger tech company but I’m having a hard time even getting interviews.<p>I think this is partly because of a bad job market, and partly because I have two no name companies on my resume that I’ve worked for.
