You'll be absolutely steamed if I tell you all of the job "applications" were inbound inquiries whereby the companies approached me and I actively avoided using a single external technical recruiter. I applied for only a single position, at the insistence of my wife.
The only place that required a C.V. was someone in HR at the FANG. I used the same C.V. to send to the company my wife wanted me to apply at. I had to create a C.V. specifically to satisfy HR. I haven't used a C.V. in almost 20 years when looking for work. The last time I built a C.V. was when the company I worked for got acquihired and that was 9 years ago.
I don't think my C.V. got looked at once during the entire interview process. Nobody I spoke with even mentioned my C.V.
I'm not a particularly strong candidate, below average intelligence, so-so education.

There's nothing remarkable about my C.V. that would get anyone hired, and I know this because nobody ever looked at it.
