    sets your application above like 95% of the rest of them

    Bro if everyone does this there’s still 95% of people who wouldn’t get a job, like it’s good advice for an individual, try to be elite, but ultimately it’s advice we ALL got in school(i.e. youre not telling anybody anything they dont already know) and we ALL try that and 95% have to be left out of that top 5% by definition.

    Which the interesting thing about your comment is that you demonstrate a huge flaw of all conservative rhetoric actually – what’s good personal advice for an individual CANNOT be any kind of coherent social policy. It’s confusing the micro and macro, it’s nonsense, like confusing general relativity and quantum mechanics. Yes heisenberg uncertainty principle is absolutely real but you cannot use that to talk about planets and stars. Yes, being personally financially responsible and saving more than you earn is great advice for any individual but you cannot use that as general economic advice, it would literally crash the economy.

    Back to your example, what happens when a company is looking to hire three people and they get 3000 excellent applicants? They’re gonna reject 2997 excellent personalized amazing applications.
