I’m unfortunately in this world. Every application involves me scanning the job description and then trying to take key words and change up my skills section to try to match enough to catch the eye of an algorithm.

Sounds like we need AI-generated resumes

[–] Veedem@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They exist in some form or another. None of them free.

So what you're saying is that AI is the new Lawyers. When both sides use it, nothing improves but the lawyers/AI creators get richer.

You can already use Chat GPT to generate Cover Letters. It can't be that large a leap to do the same for Resumes.

It's all a fuckin nightmare. AI will be death of us all.

You can ask chatgpt to rewrite your resume taking the job description into account.

There are services that do exactly that and they work. You tell it what type of job you’re applying by to and it tailors your CV to get through the systems so you get seen.
