How do these people get these jobs?

I have 25 years of enterprise-level web application development experience. I passed the CISSP on my first try with minimal study. I read RFCs for fun.

And yet I can't even get a screening interview with an actual human (although my one AI interview asked surprisingly competent follow-up questions).
