I'm applying to jobs, and the amount of AI assessments, rounds, AI interviewers, questionnaires, is nuts.

Problem with that is most jobs are using an AI ingestion and rating system. So if I were a job applicant who doesn’t like AI and prefers to hand write resumes but I need a job to feed my family, I’m going to just blast out the AI resumes anyway because it just has the highest chance of working.

    When I was job seeking I had two versions of my resume. Things where I was pretty sure it'd be ingested by an AI, I used that resume. Sometimes a rare listing asked for a direct email and I used the more personal resume for that one.

    Then it didn't matter because a recruiting agency scooped me up for something I didn't even apply for.

    However I will say definitely be the most 'you' that you can be while still being, yanno, work appropriate about it, that you can be. Good soft skills make such a huge impression.
