It's the HR equivalent of posting "experienced applicants only" signs.

Résumés: There are too many liars and too many lazy hiring managers and HR who will let anything pass.

Certifications: Skills tend to be inversely proportional to most certs.

Buzzword bingo: Okay, fine, I'll grocery list everything to check the robotic résumé scanner's boxes.

In truth, "minimum requirements" are wish lists and "preferred skills" are wet dreams.

I swear, modern HR operates like a person trying to find their soulmate with one meaningless signal.
