It's insane. I'm seeing this even I'm straight up ghettos. No evictions/perfect credit/income 3X rent/first+last+deposit

All to live in a place I'd need to buy a gun for a security.

This is in a small Midwestern city. Someone ran down, but overall maybe only a little worse than other small cities I've lived.

I've been trying to find a place for over a year now. I don't have the credit, but have the income. My gf has the credit but not the income. We're basically pariahs.

without realizing that they might not go past the first interview. They don't realize that it's a waste of their time and the employer's time.

Still, not getting past the first interview is better than not getting there on the first place.

During my last job search, I was getting desperate and at one point ran my resume again some ATS scanning tools. I was getting dinged for not having verbatim buzzword slop in my resume (that matches the JD). Shit like "business solutions".
