TIL apparently recruiters spend an average of six seconds per resume. How much time do we spend making a resume? How can you judge a candidate in six seconds???

I had to hire two people a few weeks ago, never done it before. We had 200 applications in a week for what was a minimum wage admin job. and a customer service-like situation. The first CV's I discarded was anybody overqualified and then it was just a game of finding any reason to get it down to a short-list of around 20.
So my criteria was essentially anyone I thought would be okay at the job, have a bit of ambition because the company is quite good for moving up and was young enough to help me overcome the stale unproductive boomer atmosphere that plagued the office.
So it was quick release at first but then I did have to give it some consideration. It wasn't easy and I became everything I hated when looking for work.
Yeah, for real. The overqualification thing is killing me. I didn't do any predatory internships, and since I finished grad school, I literally cannot get a job.
Damn, feel for you. I wouldn't wish the job search on my worst enemy.
