How long ago was this? I’ve been talking to lots of recruiters and the most common points I hear are

- keywords in your descriptions so you show up in searches
- gaps and job tenure
Remote jobs apparently get a ton of fake candidates so some recruiters have started checking for verification and profile age as additional signals.
The most memorable example was at a hospital, nurses would occasionally pick up the wrong vial. They always noticed before injecting, but there were lots of close calls that didn’t get tracked anywhere. Once they started tracking that as a leading indicator, it became pretty obvious that the vials needed a better design to prevent even the possibility of grabbing the wrong one. Also, if the hospital never realized this problem and someone got hurt, they would’ve ended up with a much worse solution like “double check really close”

I eventually learned html/css which let me build real websites and see them in my browser. At some point you hit a wall with what you can make and are forced to learn js/php/python/etc.
