The difference between the preferences of posted job requirements and recruiters is stunning. From reading hundreds of job requirements you get the strongest indication it’s a keyword game and nothing else matters, but recruiters who are actively and manually sifting through resumes are clearly looking for something different.

Example: according to most job postings for web developer the new hot title is Fullstack Senior Engineer which consists primarily of React on the front end with a fallback to Angular and Java with a fallback to Python on the backend. Everything else reads as insignificant filler. I don’t want to blindly dick around with your framework insanity like a junior so I am sure to omit this from my resume and recruiters still contact me about TypeScript and Node.
