Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s new Twitter competitor, Threads, has seen a
drop in half of all site traffic only two weeks after its launch, according to
The Messenger.

Meta’s new Twitter-like platform Threads has seen a 25.4 million drop in active
users, with traffic falling from 49 million active users to 23.6 million active
users in just a week, according to The Messenger. Threads originally saw 100
million new users in its first five days, with 30 million of those coming in
just the first day.

“I’m very optimistic about how the Threads community is coming together,”
Zuckerberg said Monday night on Threads. “Early growth was off the charts, but
more importantly 10s of millions of people now come back daily. That’s way ahead
of what we expected. The focus for the rest of the year is improving the basics
and retention. It’ll take time to stabilize, but once we nail that then we’ll
focus on growing the community. We’ve run this playbook many times (FB, IG,
Stories, Reels, etc) and I’m confident Threads is on a good path too.”

Threads is a new app from Meta launched in early July that takes a similar style
and functionality to Twitter, according to Axios. The platform is linked to
Instagram, enabling users to create an account from their Instagram account.








The new app from Meta has faced criticism for censorship since its recent
arrival. Libs of TikTok posted to the site saying “[n]on-binary isn’t real” just
two days after the site’s launch, with the post being removed due to “hate
speech” guidelines. Other Meta-owned platforms Facebook and Instagram have faced
similar censorship efforts in the past.



“We’re on day eight of Threads, and growth, retention, and engagement are all
way ahead of where I expected us to be at this point. But what I’m most excited
about is the quality of the creator community that has shown up,” Adam Mosseri,
head of Instagram, said on Threads. “Our focus right now is not engagement,
which has been amazing, but getting past the initial peak and trough we see with
every new product, and building new features, dialing in performance, and
improving ranking.”

Just hours after Threads launched, Twitter lawyer Alex Spiro threatened in a
letter to sue the company over “intellectual property rights,” claiming that
Meta hired a number of ex-Twitter employees to create Threads as a copy of
Twitter using Twitter’s confidential information.

When asked for comment, Meta directed the Daily Caller News Foundation to
Zuckerberg and Mosseri’s Thread posts.

Writing a powerful resume can seem like an art form in and of itself. And when
doing so, there are various don'ts to keep in mind: Don't misspell words. Don't
go over two pages. Don't write a list of vague skills without providing proof
you've actually accrued them.

For Nolan Church, who's worked in talent acquisition at companies like Google
and who's currently the CEO of talent marketplace Continuum, there's one major
red flag. "The No. 1 thing I don't want to see on a resume is probably text
bricks," he says, which is to say "endless streams of text that have a lot of
words but not a lot of content."

When he sees one of those, "there's zero chance you're going to move forward,"
he says. Here's his advice on making sure your resume is clean of endless text.

PEOPLE WRITE 'THREE TO FOUR SENTENCES PER BULLET'

Church often sees text blocks under the specific descriptions of each role.

"When people describe what they've been doing, they often have a hard time being
concise," he says. Below each job title should be a series of one-line bullets.
Instead, people will write "three to four sentences per bullet."

In today's world of constant text communication, short, to-the-point
communication is crucial. At the office, for example, so much communication
happens over email and Slack. "If you can't succinctly describe what you've been
doing in your career," he says, "there's just no way you're going to be able to
succinctly write in the workplace."




'IT'S JUST TOO EASY TO USE TOOLS LIKE CHATGPT'

There are numerous ways to cut down your language.



"It's just too easy to use tools like ChatGPT or Grammarly to actually clean
that up, to help you not only with punctuation, grammar, but also brevity," says
Church. Both tools are free and ChatGPT offers an app version in which you can
input sentences and give prompts like "make this sentence shorter."

You can also have people review your resume and edit it down. "I fundamentally
believe that at least five to 10 people should be giving you feedback on your
resume," says Church. Reach out to people in your network who've done well in
their careers and ask if they'll take a look.

Remember, says Church, "my advice would be to optimize a resume for 10-second
viewership." Sometimes that's all the time an HR rep will have to dedicate to
your resume. Short bullets and sentences will give them a chance to get all of
the critical points of your career immediately.
