My experience is that there is an AI war going on right now. Employers are deluged with AI-augmented/generated resumes that make candidate seem perfect (but then they flop in an in-person interview), so employers are now filtering said AI-augmented resumes with AI to even determine who to advance in the pipeline. It's a viscous arms race and if you aren't playing the game it's really hard to get an "in" without knowing someone on the inside already.

- OkayPhysicist 1y agoIf you're on here, there's a good chance you have more connections in the industry than you realize. The best way to avoid being AI-filtered is never have your resume get fed to the AI in the first place, which means applying through back channels. Recommendations from trusted employees are valuable not out of nepotism or some other sinister force, they're valuable because it acts a pre-filter for the kinds of fuckups that no one would be willing to recommend.
