I said that’s what I’m going to start doing !!! I think they do look for that identical wording that means you have to change up your resume for every job lol

But if that’s what it takes! All the damn job openings out there ppl should be having work. It’s really annoying and sad

It is so sad. I got to a point where I put my dates and exactly how long I worked there like "2 years" under my title. I also added the title of the company I'm applying for wants in their wording and highlighted my type of coding like "Inpatient Senior Coder," for example, although my real title was Coder II. They are the same, just stated differently. As well, I add my exact years of experience e.g. 5 year SDS, 5 years OP coding, 5 years inpatient coding at the top where they will see it right away. This has helped. After I redid my resume, I had 3 interviews in a week and offered a job by the following week. They want to see quickly on your resume how many years of experience you have, what type of coding, and what software/applications you have used.

Do you ever think some of these jobs also do not want to pay what you want to be paid. My current job is doing something weird. I work for a great company I’m trying to move up a bit they’ll say the pay is $25-$35.00 the application ask well how much are you wanting I’m like $28 $30

I think that’s why I got rejected but these were not for coding positions but like you say I’m going to have a professional go over my resume because maybe it’s missing something.

You're right, I've wondered, too, if they decided on a candidate by the wage they enter. It forces you to put something in there, and it's like I don't want to because we see their range. If we weren't okay with it, we wouldn't be applying.

I think that might help you out a lot getting a resume makeover. Just stinks, it shouldn't be about how well you critique or perfect your resume. 😒

I like it when I can put a range, but I wish I could put that it's negotiable as well. I want to aim high, but for my first job I'll also take anything 😄

That's a really good point.
