I think this analogy is becoming more true as our economy slowly crumbles.
Most gifted athletes do not make it in professional sports because there are relatively very few jobs in those fields.
I found, as a gifted child, that you can do most things right. You can get the highest test scores and grades, you can earn high accolades, you can graduate with a “great” degree from a respected university, you can follow all the advice of profs and advisors… And still 99.8% of companies do not even bother responding to your handwritten resume.
As opportunity dwindles, the western system will naturally produce more unemployed losers like myself.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I used “handwritten” but I really meant “handcrafted”. This means personalized cover letter, customized resume with keywords, and no AI assistance.
All typed, of course, not handwritten.
I also submitted thousands of AI-generated resumes, but I don’t really count those, they are slop.

Why would you expect them to bother reading a handwritten resume?
Sending a handwritten resume tells them that you haven’t mastered the most basic skills they’d expect from an employee.

I apologize as well. I jumped to a conclusion and responded too quickly.
I assume they meant that they composed the resume themselves vs a chatbot spit it out for them
They might mean human written, not AI generated
I apologized.
I honestly don’t know why I jumped to the conclusion that it was in cursive.
