Just did an A.I. workshop today on how to improve my resume, cover-letter, and job search.

In general I don't use AI for much of anything, so while most of the info was pretty basic and kinda, well, useless, I did actually learn a few new things today.

You?


(No, I'm not a bot. If I was I wouldn't need to look for a job, I'd just take yours. ;P )

Share some tips. That sounds useful. What did you learn?

AI can detect when you've used AI (lol) and may disqualify you for doing it. (Bigger lol)
Copy lines into notepad which will remove the formatting you don't see, then copy it into your resume/application to help avoid that.

Look for jobs in the usual places, but try to find the actual company site/email and apply there directly.

When asking AI questions about your job search, don't be afraid to add your own limitations to the search. (Can you drive? Can you stand for prolonged periods? Are you "honest to a fault", then sales might not be for you.)

Look up ATS in this context and learn what it is, and more importantly, learn how the people using it, use it. (And if they use it at all. Construction companies probably don't if they're not big.)

Interesting! Thanks.
