Message: [QUOTE="Queen, post: 84906, member: 27"] Great CVs are everywhere, good hires are not, and Mary Njoku is openly wondering how that gap got so wide. Why did this strike a nerve [LIST] [*]Hiring struggles keep happening despite a flood of polished applications. [*]The contradiction feels constant, not occasional. [*]Confusion, not blame, is driving the conversation. [/LIST] Who raised the issue [LIST] [*]Mary Njoku shared the concern publicly. [*]The observation came from lived experience, not theory. [*]The tone leaned reflective rather than judgmental. [/LIST] Where she shared her thoughts [LIST] [*]Instagram served as the sounding board. [*]The post read like a daily reality check. [*]The message clearly resonated with working professionals. [/LIST] What keeps going wrong in interviews [LIST] [*]CVs often look sharp and complete at first glance. [*]Face-to-face conversations expose a disconnect. [*]Something feels lost between the document and the person. [/LIST] How CVs are being reframed [LIST] [*]Resumes are starting to behave like ads. [*]Presentation is winning over substance. [*]Capability is getting buried under polish. [/LIST] Issues she keeps noticing [LIST] [*]Job titles feel inflated beyond the actual scope. [*]Responsibilities read like future goals, not past work. [*]Depth is being swapped for surface-level shine. [/LIST] What this is not about [LIST] [*]Intelligence is not being questioned. [*]Hard work is not being dismissed. [*]Effort is clearly present, but alignment is missing. [/LIST] The core frustration [LIST] [*]On paper, everything looks perfect. [*]In the room, the energy does not match. [*]The mismatch feels systemic, not personal. [/LIST] Why employers feel stuck [LIST] [*]Companies are actively searching for good people. [*]The talent pool looks strong until interviews begin. [*]Hiring becomes harder, not easier, with more options. [/LIST] The bigger takeaway [LIST] [*]Appearance is overpowering authenticity in hiring. [*]The middle stage between CV and conversation is broken. [*]Both job seekers and employers are paying the price. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
