I've just signed up for three months expecting specific role matches. However, the CV score seems to always be the same and therefore quite generic, not creating a score that matches exactly with the job role. Is this correct?
generally speaking I've always struggled with the type of "middle managed buzzwords that typically make up most resumes, i don't typically hype myself up all that much, just from feeling overall average and struggled to put my selling points to paper, so something like this is EXACTLY what I've been looking for all these years
even with just barely using it, i can already see a night and day difference in what i wrote vs what the AI is recommending, i'm normally fairly ambivalent about AI usage but this really struck me as something special, a really fantastic use of AI that won't hurt anyone
I do well in interviews, most of the time it's just getting to that interview point that causes issues, so i feel like this will be a lifeline as i try to leave my current job that i despise and look for more fulfilling employment.
thank you again
If you wrote your own resume, you're already at a disadvantage. New research out of UMD and Ohio State puts a number on it: AI-written resumes are up to 82% more likely to survive AI screening.
So it's not just about your experience anymore, it's about how closely your resume matches what the system expects to read.
Which means somewhere right now, a genuinely great candidate is getting filtered out for something as simple as sounding too human.
That's the part that should bother people.
We've basically created a loop where AI helps write the resume, AI evaluates the resume, and the outcome is based on how well someone fits that pattern. It doesn't necessarily reward better work. It rewards better formatting of that work.
And the people who lose in that system aren't always less qualified. They're often the ones who didn't optimize themselves to sound perfect through AI.
So the question becomes: what actually cuts through that?
It's not another version of the same resume.
It's what other people say about working with you, how they experienced your impact, consistently, across time. Not one reference call at the end, but a pattern you can actually see.
That's the part that's much harder to manufacture, and probably where hiring starts shifting whether we admit it or not.
And if you're in a job search right now wondering why you're not hearing back, this might be part of the answer.
If your process is AI reading AI, I'd at least be asking whether it's finding the best candidates or just the best-written ones.
