Don't forget the job ad having a few paragraphs of duties, some of which sound above the position they're hiring for and are made to sound complicated. Or finally getting the interview and finding they aren't interested in your technical skills, but are gauging your social ones. Bonus points if you catch them hiring for the same position again and they don't even want to consider you.

Look, lower skill jobs will have tons of applicants. Companies can be as picky as they want with those. Its simple supply and demand. Higher skill jobs mean lower supply and they are more flexible.

Ive worked on new grad roles that will get hundreds of applicants in a matter of days. We physically cant go through them all. And most of the resumes look similar enough. We cant interview everyone. So we decide on the filter criteria. For software engineer jobs, we decided to only look at those with school projects, internships and a GitHub account. As well as whatever particular coding language that team used. Its not because we think all the others are shit, we just need to filter them down somehow.

At the same time, no one likes to pay for people to not work and be on unemployment, so the combination extreme ninja warrior obstacle course and minefield just seems to keep people in that system because there's little to no way to get your foot in the door.
