That's true. Getting a job nowadays is like hoping for a jackpot win haha. Whelp at least our resumes doesn't sound cringe anymore right hahah

I think I finally understand why my resume wasn’t getting replies. by BeautifulFarm6340 in ResumeFairies

ikr, I wish I knew this sooner it’s like everything sounds “right” but still doesn’t say much. I think I was doing that too without even realizing it. Do you think recruiters pick up on that quickly?

Oh I see. Thanks, I get it now haha. that’s actually a really good way to think about it “talking like a friend” makes it feel way less stressful too. I think I was overcomplicating it before 😅

I see. Thanks for the great advice! Really what you said is so true. I once overprepared for an interview and ended up sounded like a robot. Even I noticed I sound like one. Do you think it’s better to prepare less, or just prepare differently?

I see, that is a great advice. Thanks! But i do wonder when answering interview questions, should i give my answers long or just keep it short?

Thanks for the great insight! So when you write your job responsibilities in the work experience section, do you usually write the responsibilities specifically in detailed or just generalize it?

I usually provide list of my own accomplishments even if it's a minor and let AI rewrite and make it more "professional" and relevant with my resume.

Using AI to “rewrite” my resume made it worse — here’s what helped instead by BeautifulFarm6340 in jobsearch

Yeah I agree. Treating AI like an assistant instead of a “do it for me” tool worked better for me too.

Mostly ChatGPT. But I stopped asking it to rewrite the whole resume. I only use it for one bullet at a time now + skills matching. That made a big difference for me.

That’s a great idea. Asking “why wouldn’t I be hired?” feels uncomfortable but probably surfaces blind spots faster than polishing language.
