You use AI to turn a few bullet points into a fleshed out CV. The recruiter uses AI to summarize your CV into a few bullet points.


The thing is: You are not sure about this - lately I had an interesting experience: I was contacted by hiring firm and asked for my CV. We set up a phone call later on, she said: Since she was too lazy for the english version, she put it into ChatGPT - then we went through it and I was shocked: The system missdeclared lot of positions, esp. the one with some special legal status et.

After that, maybe this is my problem so far after 200+ applications: How often does the other side do this? Maybe this is very common, and since the auto translation misses completely the correct context, that maybe the reason why I had no luck so far and receive _only_ rejections?


very likely employer just wanted to see how gullible you are


This. I remember in 2012 TechCrunch disrupt hackathon overnight making “Birthdays” to satirize how Facebook systematically helped society cheapen the word “friend” and “like”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om4_F0VFIdI

It has only been downhill from here. Now my AI wishes happy birthday to your AI which thanks it. Thoughtfulness at scale!
