I mean an API call isn’t hard, it cuts down in the amount of resumes probably meaning your resume will be more likely to be looked at. And it let’s then know you know the very basics, I’ve seen some shit on recruiting hell forums and I’m ok with this one. You don’t even have to retype anything since the resume field is just a link.

The cringy stuff is “rockstar developer” and ninja, etc. Those are always red flags to me

You might like Monster Hunter Stories then, you play as a rider in those befriending and raising the monsters. I haven’t played them myself but they seem pretty well received.
