CV?................
fancy word for ‘resume’
In a way this is nothing new. Long before HR reps had AI it was still advisable to write resumes with key words (search tags) to be picked up by HR reps doing word filters.
“fancy word for ‘resume’”
So true it’s so silly. Having seen some examples of legal briefs and opinions written using AI., it’s really something dumb to use for writing a resume that you can do yourself. All you need is a model to fit the parts into.
AI is NOT artificial intelligence (yet).
It is still just software.
Sophisticated software, that is an adaptable language association modeling program, but the adaptive part is still just a part of the code. If you need to spoon feed it the associations, apparently it’s still “learning”
It’s good for the first draft that you can tweak. I would even suggest running it through several models, maybe using ChatGPT first, then taking it and running it through Claude.
Recently I was given a batch of 10 resumes to review and decide which ones to interview. Nothing unusual there. Two of the resumes appeared to me to be written by AI. I immediately put them in the reject list.
Why did I reject them? Because I’m not going to interview or hire the AI. So what do I care what it has to say?

What we call a ‘Resume’.............
The search bot locates the resume by finding the hidden keywords, but the hiring authority only sees the intended text.
Recruiters generally don’t know how to recruit.
Interviewers generally don’t know how to interview.
Managers generally don’t know how to manage.
This is the state of the workplace today.
Having AI write your resume so that AI can assess your resume is just more indication that the humans in the equation will have no idea what’s going on. This is why so much of the world is going to crap.

My problem with AI is it’s like using one of the early GPS units that could easily cause me to end up in a farm field.
Good point. Also if you’re looking for a decent writer, AI keeps you from knowing the person’s skills.
but the hiring authority only sees the intended text.
= = =
But if the hiring authority uses some bot to read it???
Will that see it??
ended up in a farm field recently with GPS latest tech.
Do not rely on AI
Possibly, but if they download the PDF for example, the hidden text or white text won’t show.
That’s why it’s good to have strategies to check and validate the output, running it through several different models is one approach.
I thought CV was some sort of foreign car.
