The old ways are dying

The Reddit post discusses the author's realization that following up on job applications via phone calls, a technique taught by older generations, is becoming ineffective. They attribute this to automated resume analysis and a shift away from valuing initiative. Many commenters validate this experience, suggesting that the practice is outdated and potentially annoying to HR departments due to the high volume of applications. Some suggest alternative approaches such as networking, using LinkedIn, or applying to smaller businesses. However, some people say that they don't use AI screening, every application is reviewed manually. Others point out that HR is too busy to offer feedback to every applicant.
