Seems plausible 👀
My probation was supposed to be of 6 months (i.e until June 2022), but today I received a notification in Workday that I have passed my probation.
How is this possible?
I was planning to resign within probation for 30days notice period. But now this happened. Will this change my notice period to 90days??

None because submitting resumes doesn't work especially at your tenure and c-suite. It's all about tapping into your network, not blindly applying online.
100% agree.
+ executive search firms.
Claude and its Cowork feature is especially impressive but that well exceeds resume help. For the big three (GPT, Gemini, Claude) if you’re just looking for writing help, it really just depends which writing style you prefer and/or which platform you have the most history with (they’ll understand your preferences and sensibilities best.) If this is strictly about resume help, I’d recommend looking at Enhancv. Will get you into a really nicely designed layout and force you to get concise about your story. Happy to chat live about any of this if helpful
I found Simplify to be helpful in beefing up my resume to make it past the AI filters and I started getting more interviews after using Simplify.
Do you pay for it or just use the free version? I’ve read the pay version isn’t worth it but wanted to get your insight
I am not C suite but one thing that helped with being in my 40’s was getting Google strategy AI professional certification. Made the age less scary.
Job Market is dead is 2026. I am receiving the basics:
1 - "we won’t be moving forward with your candidacy and encourage you to apply again in the future if you see a role that aligns with your skills and experience.",
2 - "we have decided to move forward with other candidates whose profiles more closely match our current needs. Please do not see in it any devaluation of your person, knowledge and qualifications. Our decision is based on the specific requirement profile for this task."
3 - "While our team appreciated your profile and has reviewed it carefully, we decided not to go ahead with your application for this position. Although we have not been able to move forward at this time, we want to let you know that we will keep your details for future opportunities."
4 - "Our team was highly impressed by your skills and achievements. However, after careful consideration, we have chosen not to move forward with your candidacy."
and mind you sometimes I received the same exacts rejection email template by severals companies with just the logo that change. seems like now Job market is ruled by AI and being on a pile on 350 CVs that whill get thrown away by the ATS for the company to only select 5% for an interview and 2 weeks later you can see the same exact offer reposted.
to conclude, for companies I have a so WOW profile... but... there is always a better profile that match the company need...
My experience exactly. I’m out. There’s no future in this. If they think AI can do our jobs, let them see just how inept it really is.
I’d try networking instead of spending money on your resume. Nothing wrong with that but LinkedIn premium is probably a better investment
I have linked in premium. It’s hard because my network is all in NYC and I don’t want to do a hybrid situation as I’ve moved to NC and want remote. Totally agree with everyone on the network thing and use where I can
I used an AI application service for 6 weeks and I thoroughly regret it. Huge waste of time (Jobhire.ai).
At first, I was letting it customize my résumé for each position, then I realized it was actually inserting errors into my résumé. I intentionally list only the years I was at a position (I.e 2000-2005) … The AI service clearly didn’t like that and added months, and the way it presented it to me to proof, it appeared only the skills/accomplishments were altered; I later downloaded a PDF of a résumé in a completed application to re-use elsewhere, and saw the errors.
I immediately told the software to stop customizing resumes and use my selected résumé. But it just sent the last AI résumé to potential employers. It would even show me my chosen résumé, but then when I would go into the application later and download the PDF to check, it had sent it’s Error-filled creation.
I took that to their support and escalated it. Even had one of the engineers arguing with me that it ”shows it is sending the one you select,” so I literally sent him a video captured on my screen of it saying that, then I download the file and it is clearly different. It took them three weeks to fix that.
The only feature that was somewhat helpful. Was the AI generated cover letter. They were not great, but starting with theirs and editing it myself was faster than writing a new cover letter based on job descriptions manually. (LinkedIn premium, and indeed free both offer an AI cover letter.) I used it to speed up the manual process for jobs I found that Jobhire didn’t. (Oh and the jobs it presented — tons of duplication and then when you have used it for a while you see an increasing number of suggested positions that are wildly off-base. (Medical Director requiring a physicians license? Criminal litigator? Lead structural engineer? WHAT???)
Having job listings on LinkedIn for my current employer. I see just how aggressive AI screening is even on a “low cost/low features” job posting. That was the justification for me using an AI tool on the other side; basically thinking the algorithm that screens probably used many of the same concepts as the job hunting algorithm, but the results were terrible.
Basically I only had one phone interview off of the nearly 500 applications through Jobhire, and I still not sure it wasn’t a front for an MLM. I had several contacts that were blatantly MLMs, several that were using job postings to hunt for franchisees, and a handful that were simply promoting a retail business.
