I’m applying to jobs, and the amount of AI assessments, rounds, AI interviewers, questionnaires, is nuts.

One of these emails for example,

It’s rough.

    I guess you were hiring. If that’s the case, would you prefer a manually written resume that is not matched to the listed position and skills (because applicants now have to send so many resumes that they don’t have any more time to match them)?

      No no. I want the applicant to be human. Don’t bullshit. No buzzwords. Just say I can do this, I want to do that, I like turtles. Be yourself and don’t fill the resume with fake ass shit, it’s so obvious and depressing

        My experience with this is receiving emails with “we will not proceed with your application” and absolutely no indication what or why, for positions that I’m uniquely qualified for.

        I’m still looking, don’t use Assumed Intelligence, and want to work, but it’s not going well.

        I suspect that your needs for human written applications is being thwarted by bots filtering your applicants before you even see them.

        The problem is 99% of hiring is looking for specific keywords and phrases like “increased revenue”. Since they always do that applicants fall into the same patterns, like an evolutionary arms race.

        Problem with that is most jobs are using an AI ingestion and rating system. So if I were a job applicant who doesn’t like AI and prefers to hand write resumes but I need a job to feed my family, I’m going to just blast out the AI resumes anyway because it just has the highest chance of working.

      Hiring manager here… yes. Give me a hand created resume, that shows what you did. I can extrapolate skills without it needing to match every bullet point word for word. Bonus is that you don’t need to butcher your resume, just put your best foot forward.
