> The hiring process is profoundly broken. That's certainly true, and we agree on that. More, you make good and valid points. Having said that, there is more that candidates can do. They can find out what the company does, for a start. Then if the ad says what skills are required, state clearly that you have the skill and provide evidence. Those two things along will put you ahead of 90% of other applicants. "I work well in groups, but also work well alone." - you and every other applicant will claim that. Provide evidence. Leonardo didn't have a detailed job description to work from, he put in some thought about what his potential employer would want, and then demonstrated that he could provide it. > we're a leading-edge company working on > bringing killer robots to the masses! Then you'll need control systems, real-time software, image analysis, goal-oriented planning systems, etc. Do you have those skills? Say so and provide evidence. You won't know exactly what frameworks they use, but you can demonstrate the ability to move between frameworks taking with you your underlying design and problem solving skills. I agree entirely that the hiring process is broken, but you can get well ahead by being different and relevant. And if your application doesn't get past the HR wonks, is it really somewhere you want to work?
