They don't?
No, they don't of course. Maybe 99% (or more) resumes are full of fake info or included what entire department did. I help our clients to find the right people for positions and this is a daily challenge.
Why don't job descriptions explain what the company does, and how?

I don't believe that, or at least I think 99% is a considerable exaggeration. My resume has never been based on anything but what I did, because every person I've worked with in a department has a different role. I couldn't take credit for their work because it's palpably not what I do. And if I did, I'd end up doing similar things, which is not what I want or I already would've been doing them.

#24Instead, they copy and paste phrases from existing job descriptions (internal and external). The more specific the phrase, the more likely it's not relevant to the new job, so the less likely it gets copied.
So what does the job ad contain? The most abstract and meaningless phrases collected from a bunch of existing job descriptions.
Rinse and repeat, and you get to the situation we have today.

I need a service that will take my accurate resume and inflate everything so that it aligns better with what is available in the market.
