Companies are using AI to select the best applicants. If you can use AI to instantly reformat your resume to best fit the job posting, do so. Job hunting is now a full fledge AI circle jerk.
I'm not saying it's not worse now, but it's kinda always been a joke even before AI, right? Feels more like AI is just highlighting what everyone was thinking
The firm handshake worked great until I met an employer who was higher Dan in Judo than me.
Yeah because those four or five job let you actually survive in today’s economy
Yep, I've experienced both, although I do admit that I prefer working from home...
Nah, this is a bad path we’re traveling now
That's exactly what I did on the last job I applied to. I used a prompt along the lines of "I'm applying for a job. Here's the job description paste job description here's my resume paste resume. Please format it to best fit this job description. It knocked it out of the park, and filled it with all the stupid buzzwords I'd need to get through the application filter. The company is an AI company. If they have a problem with me using AI to make my resume better, they're missing the point.
how do you do that? are you just uploading the PDF?
Nah, just pasting the text
Upload the pdf xml as text, got it.
pretty much that... who's losing what now?
