I'm straight-up not comfortable uploading a government document online. Bite my shiny metal toosh, Microsoft.

Alternative: Submit resumes directly to companies you are interested in and/or use a recruiter. The latter is surprisingly nice. Last time I used one I got lined up for phone interviews with little effort and the recruiter pushed the company forward during the hiring pipeline when the company was being wishy-washy.

The recruiter only gets full payment if you get hired and stay at your job for a full year. (And this payment does not come from you!)

    I have such bad things to say about recruiters. They generally don't have a clue about any of the skills related to the jobs I'm after, and they take a huge cut of the pay the entire time I'm working the job.

    On the other hand, the two best jobs (highest pay and best working environment) I've had in my career, I got through recruiters, so I acknowledge them as a useful business when it works out. The last one has led to the company buying my contract and hiring me directly for the past 12 years

    This has been my experience the past 8 years or so. Before that they seemed to kind of have an idea. I get approached about stuff that is totally not my area of expertise in my field lol. Like you're a tech recruiter, shouldn't you have a basic idea and understand that a SQL expert is not a Microsoft 365 expert, or something?
