> AI is probably losing you a lot of good candidates. It can be easily gamed, and then you'll end up with someone who watched a TikTok video on "how to fool any ChatGPT in ten seconds". I also fail to understand how I can have multiple years of experience in a job as well as active certifications, and somehow still get filtered. My resume isn't that bad...what on earth is your AI doing? Do you know?

While the ol’ prompt injection tactic may soon stop working, tailoring your resume for each job to increase your interview rate won’t stop working anytime soon. Specifically, knowing which of your experiences align well with the requirements is super useful in tailoring. If you’re interested, I made a quick app[0] that does cosine similarity of your bullets to the job requirements to help visualize how well your resume aligns with the job description.

I tried it in the not so distant past and it just seemed to just be a great way to spend way more time on each application and then get rejected automatically by some bot as well.

Tailoring for every job is a waste of time and overkill. I do find that keeping 2-3 similar resumes highlighting different parts of my skill set can be useful to pick the one best suited for the posting, but as others have noted it’s not worth spending a lot of time on each application when the response rate in the overall market is so poor.

Nah, tailoring resumes doesn’t work either. This isn’t my glib take, it just doesn’t work.
