Maybe flawed people were better than brute algorithms.

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.

    The bullshit isnt for you, its for the AI filter that handles intake before you read a single application. (And if your not using AI to filter, your getting spammed by AI applications because everyone else is playing that game) Applicants are trying to beat the machine, and when the requirements get stricter the applicants just use more AI to send out more applications. Its a vicious cycle that will only end when hiring managers filter with something that a machine can not do.

    Dont even get started on the personal data collection of the job sites. Its the most soul crushing thing to be looking for a job right now, anything to make you stand out of a crowd is ignored, volume of applications and adherance to posted requirments are the only way to get a fleeting interaction with a human.

    I feel like the solution either needs to go back to in person and paper ads or a personal website acts as your resume, anything other than what we have right now.

      Or none at all.

      The advice is not helping either, since you’re told to both make your resume and cover letter stand out, but also to make it generic so the automated system doesn’t parse it wrong and disregard it.
