There's a movie from the 80's called Scanners, where people's heads explode. I now have a deeper understanding of this film, as I've now had several applications for jobs rejected because my resume didn't make it through the scanner. Until I lost my job, I had no idea that companies now use scanning technology to vet resumes before they go in front of human eyes. So, if you don't have the right words in your resume, or if you have a character the scanner doesn't recognize, it kicks it right out and a human will never even see it. It makes my head explode to think that I'm now being rejected for jobs by robots. O Great Robot Overlords! I beseech thee to please review my resume again! I really do have some usable skills! I'm willing to learn simple mechanical maintenance to be of use to Our Great Robot Leaders!! A Blessing on Your Circuits!
