It's a fucking nightmare out there. I say take advantage of every tool you have.

Do whatever you need to do. Lie on your resume; use AI; automate job applications; rewrite your resume using any tool you can find. It’s a cutthroat environment and I don’t envy anyone trying to find a job right now. Someone I know has been trying for a year and a half and still nothing.
The tech capitalists have captured full control of the industry and they now hold all of the leverage. We don’t have the room we once did for bargaining.
Also, when you do a peer review, say nothing but positive things unless the person is vile. Support fellow working class folks. We can struggle together.
I get what you’re saying, but fuck this race to the bottom. I don’t want to live in a world where my doctor/lawyer/city engineer lied on her resume to get a job she’s actually not qualified for and now might harm someone.
You don’t have to accept AI as inevitable.
I should clarify that my post is mostly about the tech industry because that’s all I really know. It’s a field where you can get some leeway and figure shit out. If you’re a doctor, they’re gonna check your background and credentials pretty thoroughly and I don’t recommend lying in a field like that.
You can also use AI without lying. For example, by reviewing everything it outputs before submitting.
Went from employee of the year to laid off and ghosted 90% of apps for 2 years 😁😁😁
God that sucks. I was laid off for 3 months and hated it. I can’t even fathom 2 years. That is rough, friend.
