I have been looking for a job for months and people keep recommending me these "AI resume tools" to increase my chances. I talk to a recruiter and they told me they use AI to filter out candidates so be careful of doing that. All this talk about AI increasing opportunities is a scam. I just feel like a bottom feeder scraping what's left on the ocean floor thinking im doing something while the creators are laughing at us on the surface... But I guess well be fine...

I think there may be a disconnect. They dont filter out resumes that used AI tools, they use AI as a filtering tool to make their job easier. Absolutely use AI to understand how these models view your resume so you can bypass the filters.

I’m sorry but filters exist regardless of our feelings and you have to nail the keywords if you want to get past filters. There are free ai tools that can scan your resume and optimize/suggest keywords that align with the roles you’re seeking. Just Google it. Make sure your resume is submitted as a word doc. PDFs are unrecognizable to most keyword filters.

You can use an AI tool to help with your resume. The most important t thing is that your resume is in a simple ATS format. So these ATS systems can parse your data.

You can use AI to read the job description and rewrite your resume for each job you apply to.

But nothing compares to a good old fashioned connection. With things being the way they are right now, I strongly networking and reaching out to every single person you know, as well as making new connections. It’s time much better spent than blindly applying.
