I managed to find a job through a combination of that and actually reaching out to the hiring manager to introduce myself. I think all sides are starting to lose faith that the current system is functioning efficiently.

So am I understanding it properly that you plug into chat GPT Make me a resume for this job description?

And then the hiring managers are using an AI tool to select resumes based off this job description?

So any applicant NOT using AI is certainly not to get selected?

And it's been my (albeit limited) experience that job descriptions rarely represent the actual job.

That does seem to be a Pioli-esque tirefire.
