I submitted about 60 tailor-made resumes/cover letters last year before I called in a favour and got my current job. I didn't get a single interview from that batch of 60 despite being extremely qualified for what I was applying for and having good work experience on top of an elite level of volunteer work, extracurricular, awards, and postsecondary academic achievements. Did I mention I'm a white male?
I'll be using my unisex middle name when the time comes to apply again.

When you apply online when it asks for gender chose "rather not say". I've noticed I got a ton of interviews once I started doing that.
Will do. 👍
