I have been on the job hunt side of things. I applied for +50 jobs in a week with unique cover letters and CVs catered to the fields I am applying for. I have qualifications and experience in the fields I was applying to.
I got three responses.
One was a scam.
Another was a 2 week temp job with “the opportunity for further work”. So another scam.
The last one was the only legitimate offer I received, and it paid the minimum amount it could under the award.
I can empathise with an employer not wanting to sift through AI submissions or fly bys, but all they’ve done is turn that back onto applicants.
Then they act entitled when people don’t want to jump through their hoops and say stupid shit like “if you can’t write a cover letter maybe this isn’t the job for you”
