    Would it not be better two have a million key words hidden in your text? A bit like websites do or did. I don’t know much about SEO but it should be more like that.

    Filled with bs words that the Ai might be looking for for this particular job description.

      While hiding a bunch of likely keywords in the resume to increase the match rate is a good idea in theory, it’s a fairly well-known trick by now, so some ATSs may already be programmed to watch for it.

      Also, some of them apparently export the text of your resume into a recruiter-friendly spreadsheet, which could get screwed up if you’ve hidden a few hundred extra words in there.
