Have you ever used AI to help make your resume or cover letter yet? I know plenty of people are doing it but I'm wondering if creatives are repulsed by it or on board with it. 😚

I’ve used it in the past to tailor my resume to specific job postings to try to beat the ATS but I’m not sure it actually ever worked.

I’m not sure it’s the ATS….

Your perception is that you’re competing with the slog of other unemployed people to see who can perfect their resume to the point of tricking a system to get your attention….But the reality heaped on top of that is they’d much rather hire a freelancer who’s currently there, promote somebody from within, hire one of their friends, hire someone who’s previously worked for them, some person that won a big thing, or move somebody from a foreign office. And that’s IF the job is real.

And when it comes to hiring a piece of paper…. Or somebody I already know, I’d rather go with that. The odds are stacked against you. I literally know nobody who’s gotten a job by applying online. And that’s because there are people who’ve already passed the interview process. Get an internal connection to get the job.

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy. The things I enjoyed the most was getting into the customer’s head and figuring out what they value, which I think I’m pretty good at. I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
