Ask HN: How to get through a CV filter?

1 points by 1equalsequals1 ↗ HN
After working for five years, I took a break and pursued postgraduate education. Now, I am close to finishing my programme and I am applying for jobs (the same kind that I used to do before).

But I am having trouble getting through the initial CV review, which is odd to me because I have solid experience and I am applying for jobs located in my hometown. I thought I would be a very strong candidate, but I don't even get to speak to the HR employee for the first stage. Not sure if some AI tools are being used for filtering CVs that I could optimise for?

Now it's AI versus AI.

Networking.

In my opinion, that's the only way to get through the electronic wall.

You may not know the HR person, but you might know someone inside who does.
