These are things that I 100% believe to be true and would be hard-pressed to be convinced otherwise.
- There is a concerted effort by all social media platforms – especially FB and LI – to limit the visibility of anti-work posts, especially ones that approach unionization, salary transparency / equal pay, work from home, and any other topic that shows strength in the workforce rather than the corporations in control.
- I am convinced that any sort of self-identifying questioning in the application process is not confidential and plays a part in screening certain groups / types of people.
- Any platform, software or site that claims it can help you break through the ATS is (1) data mining, and (2) a scam.
- The ATS system is programmed to use your information and deep dive into your data all over the internet as another way to screen you out.
- All personality tests – especially required for the application process – are a scam and just a way to disqualify whomever they want on no other grounds without being called out for discriminatory practices.
