Everything is carefully constructed so that everything is contradictory, and they can always complain about something. This is partly by design and partly do to the absence of reason in modern society.

One page resume? Too short.
Three pages? Too long.
No cover letter? You need one?
A cover letter? This is outdated anon.
Team player? Not independent enough.
Independent? Anon you gotta be a team player.
Technically proficient means you are antisocial.
Lots of soft skills? Well unfortunately you didn't list enough certs.
Be an innovator but don't rock the boat.
Be a go getter but not a yes man.
Think outside the box but never question authority.
Your salary requirement is too high. Or too low.
You need more experience. Unless you're overqualified.
You've worked at too many places; you're a job hopper.
You've stayed at the same place you years; you lack motivation.

The second you accept any of the modern job application process as valid or rational, you're putting yourself in an existential trap like the main character of Kafka's Trial or Metamorphosis. None of is rational. None of it has any bearing on reality. Accept that you're dealing with literal madmen in an Alice in Wonderland nonsense world. Otherwise you'll literally go mad.
