Ugh, more and more candidates are using AI for their resumes and it’s getting out of hand. I interviewed someone this morning who clearly had AI write their cover letter; the grammar was perfect and all, but it still read funny, and you could tell a human hadn’t written it. Is this the new normal? Candidates just let AI create awkward CVs and expect us not to notice?

It seems like hiring managers are using systems to parse resumes should expect that candidates are using them to create the resumes (and cover letters). It’s lazy on both sides.

Yes, this is the new normal. Companies built a gamified system that filters people out over missing keywords or subtle formatting. Since many hiring teams already rely on AI to manage large applicant pools, it makes sense that candidates are doing the same to get noticed. If a resume lacks a human touch, that can be a red flag. But that’s exactly what screening is for.

What kind of subtle formatting are they filtering for?

Sadly, yes, I see so many AI generated resumes each week, which I wouldn't think twice about but a large number of candidates don't seem to bother to edit these resumes.

The AI generated resumes I see all look and sound the same. Especially for tech roles. They are key word heavy and lack personality. It’s like taking the job description and reformatting into a resume. Big turn off.

I think this is especially common for cover letters

Decided to move out of state after this school year for my kids. I have a good job and a good boss. I don’t want to just drop a two weeks notice because relocating my whole family has obviously taken some time to plan. What’s a good way to be very professional and keep my work relationships in a good note.

My girlfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for 8 months now. We talk every single day online and recently I went to visit her for around a month. It was great and it seemed like the relationship was stronger than ever. But one week back after visiting her, I felt a strange detachment from her and our conversation topic got repetitive and stale quick. Any advice?
