Slightly out of the main topic—but, how would you respond to some recipients of the resume, especially some recruiters that claim that you are lucky if a resume got a 2-min worth of reviews? This group of people embraces the idea that usually the hiring team would not even go through the whole resume and last only less than a min. The thing is pity to those job seekers who get into this kind of session and hope that it would benefit them, but when they send it to the field, it reaches those that practice as such.

Should one place their current job title in their personal statement, if applying for a completely different role?

Is a separate “skills” section required, though?

Some hires are based on pressure. The manager gets pushed to hire someone they don't find them fit. The pressure comes from many people, so either they accept or they start making their life hell. Meaning, they can fix them in a situation at odds with the law, make them lose business, make trouble for them internally and externally. On one occasion, an employee of an Italian descent was messaging the manager Infront of my eyes, as she is typing the manager receives the messages and I read first hand. She was tell the manager the following. "I am an Italian, I was born for management, I did my role properly. I do not think other are as good as me, so either you rais my rate to a manager rate and give me the keys to the office and instate me as an assistant manager or I will report you". Prior to this she never used to comply and when someone else had the duty, she used to go and complain that "this supervisor does not let me do anything". While the supervisor is tasked with organizing the work flow, to tasking staff members is their duty. And I could see for my self that the work is going very well. In her view, she wanted to limit chances for other to get into a fixed job, so that she can call herself a "skilled migrant".

When you are applying and do get accepted, you will never know what you are walking into. Staff could be organizing thefts. The way they would make you look like one so they get to be called hounest and avoid unwanted attention, is if you are working, the till under your name, the manager comes to distract you, another withdraws money out of the till, you obviously do not know and have no idea what is going on. They would then raise the alarm and report you. Trusting your colleagues and team work is essential, little did you know that the team does not even care about safety, let alone ethical code of conduct. At corporate level, the situation is worse. Having said that, there are good companies out there. But still, work for yourself, it is way better.

battle of AI. People using AI to write it and recruiters using AI to filter them... 🙄 so basically 2 computers trying to get a human hired...

I can tell you that hiring someone, has nothing to do with a CV. From experience and research I can tell you that hiring managers and HR, regional managers, area managers, store managers or junior office managers care less about the CV. Not one case, not two cases, not three not even 100 cases, many more than 500,000 cases are all examples of similar scenarios. You do get some decent companies that actually are looking to hire and invest in their employees. However this a very lucrative opportunities that groups quickly seek and start doing the same bad practices they are used to everywhere. What every company advocate for in their CSR statement, they go and do the exact opposite. Companies who stand for good human values, over time gets consumed by people who work like the clan culture they used to work on 2000 years ago. This is if they last that long. For research integrity we will not disclose any case information, though we are sure you have similar knowledge.
