If I use AI to ensure my resume fits the JD and recruiters use AI to ensure my resume is a good fit… that should automatically put me in a ‘call back’ pile right?

Nope. You need to meet/exceed the job requirements, seed your resume with the keywords in the job description, and the caliber of your resume context needs to be high enough land you in the top % of resumes that actually make it into the candidate shortlist. Ai. tools will help you get part of the way there but the rest of it is on you.

Honestly, you'd think so! But sadly, the AI parsing game still feels like a gamble. I’ve had roles where I matched every keyword and still heard nothing. I do think tailoring helps—but I’m starting to believe timing and luck matter more than we’d like to admit.

Yeah that’s probably true.

Not automatically. Matching keywords helps you get noticed by ATS, but a callback still depends on clarity, impact, and how your experience actually reads. AI can help, but it can’t replace a strong story.

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.

I am an associate at a UMM and my employment contract has a 4 month non compete (yes, even for associates) but I am thinking of lateraling. What are the implications of breaking a non compete? I didn’t say anything when I signed because I was desperate for a PE offer but it seems so unfair as I am just a lowly associate. I am not so much worried about getting sued, but about my current employer tanking my reputation if I leave and break the non compete.

I’ve been working at a rather prestigious midsized firm in a big city for almost a year and a half now. I have been having a lot of trouble picking up work from senior partners.

It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.
