One thing I'm asking at job interviews now is "what about my resume stood out to you?" I might as well not even go in, based on their answers.

Last time I asked that the only thing they liked was that I briefly held a job that wasn't related to the field at all. It was working at a library. "I thought that was neat."

That was it. Nothing else was noteworthy.

That is a good question! I'm stealing that

That’s a great idea. Without divulging anything personal, what kinds of answers have you got?

A few have basically stated that they didn't even look at it prior to the interview.

The most recent one mentioned that it wasn't "customer service focused". Thing is, I was applying for a customer service job, and all of my jobs have had some kind of CS focus, so I dunno what they're on about.

Still unemployed, to no one's surprise.
