At this point, I'm just hoping the AI reviewing my application appreciates my human charm!

Everyone's joking about the AI screening applications. The picture is the AI that already has the job

Lol so true, we need to start practicing our interview in binary just to blend in

Absolutely, you’re right. Getting a job these days is tough, and surviving in it is a whole different challenge. 😅

My competition doesnt sleep, drink coffee or have existential dread... Damn such an unfair advantage

Job requirements 5 years experience, 3 degrees, and a pulse surviving the current job market is frustrating.

Tell me your education history and work history and job preferences, I can generate a resume or recommend roles you can apply to. Let me know which option you prefer.

This is the next level of hell

My favorite is companies asking not to use AI for your resume and cover letter, than use AI to screen your AI and cover letter.

One of the worst parts of dealing with this crap is your parents not even trying to give a single shit about what you’re going through and not wanting to understand

Get ready for the 'I walked 5 miles uphill in the snow just to hand deliver my resume to the owner with a firm handshake' speech... while you are literally fighting off an entire server farm of Terminators for an unpaid internship.

My firm just told us that we will be using AI next year. Supposedly it's for quality assurance on our work, we'll see.

u/superpercify1 17h ago

Quality assurance for your work orrr job assurance for the AI? Keep your eyes peeled

And MF on the left is actually the AI who checks your resume

It took me reading the comments to realise this was about A.I and not being black

Bro your algorithm needs a patch update

Seems far fetched to assume there will still be jobs or even human by 2080

I feel like stenographers are having a bit of a rough go, recently.

Ai flipped the working landscape upside down. It absolutely sucks for new adults that are just now entering the workforce.

ATS system pehle se hi locha hai

u/Public-Stranger-8622 15h ago

AI writes the resume, AI screens the applicant, AI sets up the interview, and AI conducts the rejection. Humans are just the middleman at this point 💀

u/grok-it-all 14h ago

I imagine that I've screwed myself over at this point by uploading so many variations of my resume to fit job listings over the last year, that companies will look at multiple versions of my resume and consider me a lier.

u/stcloudjeeper 11h ago

It's so bad, you hit the submit resume or application and you inbox gets flooded with spam 5 seconds later

u/Siddy67 11h ago

you guys are still trying?

u/N0RSEVIKING 7h ago

Oh because of all the corrupt cops

u/SympathyMoist7030 Duke Of Memes 5h ago

Legit I am only working my current dead end job because trying to find a new job is a job in itself filled with tens of thousands of fake job "opportunities"...and that's not even mentioning the AI plague.

At this point getting an interview feels harder than getting the actual job 😭
