I am currently on a job search and attended a zoom panel with a few career coaches. One of them said that if you’re not currently using LLMs on the job search right now, you should be, and she gave a few cursory examples like customizing responses and notes, but I’m still not entirely sure what the actual applications are beyond making translating your emails into glib redditese. At the same time, bullshit still appears to still be king, and, if ChatGPT confers a competitive advantage, it doesn’t make sense to tie an arm behind my back. So has anyone used an LLM to help land a job, and, if so, how?
Imo this is one of the least dystopian things about LLMs. Helping package my work experiences into corporatese is something I gladly welcome from our ai overlords - because doing that manually sucks. Now the fact that recruiters use LLMs to scan everything and won’t bother reading but what AI tells them are the top X applicants… that is dystopian and garbage
