A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Much easier to reject bad CVs. On the other hand every job post is the same and you have to check Glassdoor and Crunchbase before applying to a potential bad company

It's a broken system with no solution in sight.

But yeah let's blame this worker who has thousands of resumes that they have to figure out how to review asap.

Let's completely fuck off thousands of applicants who hear nothing about job opportunities because the reviewer doesn't like certain words.

Countless recruiters give some very basic advice in person and online, and they almost always say to put skills in decreasing order of importance. Job applications are god awful, but I really don't think being asked to follow basic instructions is a big ask. Blame companies, not recruiters.

What solution to you propose? What do you envision yourself doing if you are the recipient of several thousand applications for one position?

If you can't review the applicants properly, then you shouldn't be reviewing resumes. Find a new job.

lol I really hope that you never become a leader. It’s clear that you lack the proper intuitions
