Especially with the rise of "ghost postings" so quantity over quality is greater than ever these days

Is the bottom one not what we've all been doing for the past 10 years? If you haven't worked more than 5 or so places it should also look like that right?
Also fuck cover letters. Never making one, I don't care who they send
Generating BS cover letters is one of the few good uses I've found for chat gpt
That might get you in the door but a poor resume built by AI with key phrases to fool the algorithm will be an insta delete by a human.
Who said anything about resumes built with AI? Certainly not me.
Seems nobody sent the memo to all those career advisers, coaches, job seeking assistance places etc. because I still see it as "recommended practice" LMAO
I do it like that, but it has backfired before. I posted a resume that mentions I can code to a teaching position (Highschool maths). Not relevant to the job at all. Got the job. Some random admin person remembered I can write code and that meant that every other teacher should address their IT questions to me. No extra pay and I had to explain Microsoft software a lot of the time, which I don't even use.
Just do what I do and have an AI generate the cover letter. Saves me a ton of time, and gives me a personalized letter for every job while only writing two sentences.
(But then again Lemmy absolutely hates AI with a blind passion—just as much as you hate cars—so I don't know why I'm actually suggesting this. It works, though.)
As someone who hires a lot of MBA types
I could give a shit about your cover letter
I could give a shit about your nice follow up email after the interview
I realize I'm a sample size of one, but I also don't do cover letters or follow up notes for mydelf and I guess I am doing well enough that I have a bunch of energetic MBA types working for me.
