    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.

      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.

      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

        If anything it’s the internet that’s the problem.

        Back in the day all it took was making the effort to show up and giving a firm handshake. Now there are thousands of applicants and about four or five jobs.
