Why do you think nothing has worked? Also you don't have an e-mail contact or anything in your profile for anyone who might actually be interested in your backg

  Valid point; I've added contact details to my HN profile. I think that nothing has worked because although some people reply, the answers are always negative. I've had only a single interview. Writing custom cover letters and tailoring my résumé for each separate application is very time consuming and involves exaggeration to the point of stretching the truth. What I'm considering in this project is to build a bot that could take over that process. Blatant lying, just not in my name. I think that fraud is wrong for a human, but for a bot, passing the Turing Test is a feature.

    Your very premise is fraudulent: "You wanted to talk to this bullshit person some software invented, you will talk to me instead." No, no I won't. The bot created the resume under your direction: you're not presenting the resume as a science project or submitting it to a Turing Test, you're submitting it to an HR person, or hiring manager, as a potential candidate, and wasting their time. It's just rude.
