The Drop Times: The Hollow Résumé Crisis

Dear Readers,

There is a dangerous complacency settling into the tech job market. Too many candidates are trusting automation to polish their image instead of putting in the work to sharpen their skills. Blake Newman’s recent piece on the bleak state of the U.S. Drupal job market should set off alarms. It is not just about Drupal. It is about what happens when the pressure to get hired outweighs the commitment to be qualified.

The uncomfortable truth is that in today’s hiring climate, credibility is currency. You can train it, certify it, and protect it, or you can squander it in a single click. AI can be a remarkable assistant, but it cannot fix a hollow résumé or invent real-world experience. The people who win in this market will be the ones who treat their professional reputation like it is worth more than any algorithm’s output.

If you are serious about standing out, start now. Identify the skills that matter, get them validated, and put them where the right people can see them. Connect with communities that recognize quality. Show your work, not just your buzzwords. Whether you are in Drupal or any other niche, the same rule applies: you will not beat the noise by adding more noise. You will beat it by being undeniably good at what you do.
