A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Much easier to reject bad CVs. On the other hand every job post is the same and you have to check Glassdoor and Crunchbase before applying to a potential bad company

So basically, you read their job titles and a couple bullet points? Maybe the skill section?

I'm job hunting, and I've just switched to a strategy where I focus on those things being amazing and tailored to the job.

Skill section, then I skim bulletpoints if I haven't binned it yet. Anything that passes the bulletpoint section goes to a check-later pile, which I revisit and choose who to interview

Cool, that sounds about right. I'm guessing you're hiring mostly for individual contributors if you're looking at skills first?

IT here, I skim the titles, company, dates, and look at a couple bullet point. If things look good I’ll read the full doc. I don’t hundreds or thousands of apps though since I’m not offering a remote or hybrid position
