Why does nobody talk about how long it takes to fix a messed up job application system?

I mean, I spent the last two weeks trying to get my resume past the automated filters at this one company. I kept getting auto-rejected in like 5 minutes. I finally realized my resume didn't have the exact keywords from their job ad, so I had to rewrite the whole thing. It took me 3 hours just to tweak it for one single application. Has anyone else had to spend that much time just to get past a robot?

I mean, it's just part of the grind now. Gotta play the game.

Yeah, the "gotta play the game" part hits hard. It feels like so much extra work just to get seen now, like jumping through hoops for no real reason. I miss when you could just do the actual work.

It's a soul-crushing waste of time.
