I think the big reason they are allowing it is because they got to cut the entire cost of having moderation with an external vendor. Not because they have an agenda or anything. Its pure dollars.

1. Install Comms box in office.
2. Get Unifi switch.
3. Run Cat6A to all rooms of house.
4. Consolidate NUC and N100’s fewer devices.
5. Install 2x U6 Wall units. 6 Begin scoping Surveillance cameras. Torn between Synology and Unifi.

Sounds really tough in the USA. We have plenty of Software Devs here too but we also get a lot of skilled migrants, it is basically the only way to get permanent residency without handing over a lot of money.

3+ interviews sounds like a great way to waste money and time doing interviews. When I am hiring I would never do more than 1, if I am not happy to hire or 100% sure, I don’t do a second I just move on to the next applicant.

I’m in software too. Maybe it is tougher competition outside Australia but I would imagine if you are firing off that many resumes in Software Engineering, you are probably doing yourself a disservice sending out so many variations. What if you get tagged for AI applicant and put into a spam list? What if a company gets 2 copies of resumes that are vastly different.

Also… How many cashier jobs would genuinely need any sort of tailoring though.

This is a good starter. I’d been looking at doing something like this with mailmerge on my resume template but I found the frequency I apply for jobs wasn’t often enough to bother.

What field are people in that take so many applications?

I’m an automation tech lead and my app to interview ratio is 1:2 at its worst.

I’ve done BYO TrueNas and unraid and eventually went for a pair of 8 Bay Synology NAS for bulletproof hardware and ootb working backups, replication etc.

I run containers on machines that also use the NFS storage supplied by them.
