Over on the Reddit 'Get Employed' forum, the user claimed he created an AI bot that "analyses candidate information, examines job descriptions, generates unique CVs and cover letters for each job, answers specific questions that recruiters ask, and automatically applies to jobs."

"In just one month, this method helped me secure around 50 interviews."

The excerpt pretty much tells the story. No need to read the article.

Funny. And has AI sent him 1,000 rejection letters?

I read a similar article where a man used AI to swiped tens of thousands of dating profiles of women and then make personalized comments on each profile. I guess he finally ended up with someone.

This is probably the future. AI creating the job positions, AI replying, AI screening, AI will probably be doing video interviews within 5 years. Although in 10 years, you’ll probably be able to make an AI video bot of yourself to do the interview.

we’re definitely enter a brave new world.

Then, of course, AI doing the work and AI, being prejudiced, will only hire AI, not the old fashioned wetware.

All it shows me is dude is lazy and not worth hiring......seen it many times......these kind of people shirk their workload of on coworkers as often as possible.....and then steal the credit.

I disagree. He’s using current technology and getting results. He could spend weeks and only send out 100 applications with 5 callbacks.

Anyone still using 20th century technology is going to be left behind.

Shows me a certain intelligence to see a system and adapt to it. Might be useful in some positions.

And it won’t be long after that when the AI will also be able to do the job.

Agreed! There’s nothing more frustrating than CONSTANTLY applying to every job that you qualify for, not getting any responses from most of them, getting calls from some recruiters for some of the others, and having that lead to nothing.

And that doesn’t even mention all the “resume farmers” who just want you to apply for a non-existent job, and once you apply you stop getting responses from the recruiter.

Of course it is.

Kids have being using Wikipedia and the internet for years now to do their homework. Before that it was encyclopedias and libraries.

Can kids cut/paste from AI, the net, or from library books and turn it in?

Of course not. That’s not allowed and that’s not what using AI is all about.

“Hey, ChatGPT, two trains are driving toward one another. The first train leaves Wokeville at 5am traveling at 60 miles per hour. The second train leaves DEIBurgh at 7am traveling at 70 miles per hour. the distance between Wokeville and DEIBurgh is 455 miles. What is the EXACT time that the collision will occur?”

I used Indeed a few years ago. It really got me nowhere.

But at least I got nowhere faster than mailing or faxing out resumes like we did in the 90’s.

If AI was around way back when Joe Biden could have plagiarized a whole lot quicker.

The only means of self-defense will be to completely eschew all online activity and engage only in person-to-person contact.
