1) Badly Trained AI Will Keep You From Standing Out
> Generative AI like ChatGPT used to build automated job application programs is trained using data from all over the web – including other people’s resumes!
> The more people use automated job application programs the more AI gets trained with the same data for resumes – everyone’s resume starts sounding the same.
2) Your Accomplishments Won’t Be There to Help You Stand Out
> Any recruiter will tell you that accomplishments are a must-have on a resume – preferably with data that quantifies your value.
> Generative AI doesn’t know you so it can’t incorporate what makes you unique – your quantified accomplishments – onto a resume.
3) Eventually, You Will Get Caught
> As I said above, generative AI is trained using other people’s resumes on the web – you’ll start plagiarizing without knowing it.
> Skills assessments and working interviews are becoming more commonplace – you better be able to ‘walk the walk’ of what’s on your resume early in the job application process.
> Companies are learning from teachers and embedding “trojan horses” into their job postings – don’t be surprised when your AI generated resume gets rejected because you “excel at Tableau, SQL, and Elvis Presley.”
