I have so many weird things on my resume just because that's what job descriptions ask for. Like 10 job descriptions I was applying to ask for number key skills, which doesn't seem like a skill to me but if they want it on there I got to have it on my resume or I won't get an interview
I leave space in my resume template, and every job I run through chatgpt for a list of skills. Add them in, spin up a cover letter same process and send.
I put "Simple Green" on my resume skills section. Cleaning isn't a huge part of the job, but I knew they used that specific brand across the industry.
The interviewer mentioned it with a laugh. I got the job.
I moved a guy forward in an interview process once who had literally zero corporate experience at all. It was for a senior website engineer position, and the guy had somehow never had a job before in his life at like 45 years old. He played in a band for a while, and was a stay at home dad after that. I moved him forward because he was a really interesting guy, he seemed passionate about creating things, and his technical aptitude was passable and could be improved. He didn't make it past the other stages of the interview process, but I was definitely ready to give him a chance.
That sounds like good traits for a junior or internship role.
I make myself stand out by phrasing it as "my google-fu is strong."
I've had a person not get what is google-fu
If you apply for Microsoft, you gotta say bing-fu.
