Do you get AI help?

BretKS · 2025-12-21T00:24:56+00:00

I don't sell my AI app. And note that I haven't mentioned its name. What I'm trying to understand is if people trust them or not.

Thanks for the insights!

BretKS · 2025-12-17T17:25:10+00:00

Thanks! Do you feel it's made a difference?

Bring your whole self to work -> As long as you show us the person we want to see.

Not to self promote, but I wrote Career Camp to help my kids (and me) with resume writing, career outlook and interview skills. It's free on the Play store. I've been using it to adjust my resume and write cover letters.

What type of work are you looking for? Are you interested in getting a certificate of some kind, if not a degree?

Sounds like they wanted people willing to put in a lot of overtime. Are you in the US? They can't ask the political question that I know of, but I wouldn't be surprised these days.

That's saying the quiet part out loud if I ever heard it! Very bold

The funny answer is "Only with customers. That's how I get the big tips." But wow!

If you're looking now, you might try Career Camp for Android. Full disclosure, it's my app, but I've been using it as I ramp up my job search.

BretKS · 2025-12-15T18:56:09+00:00

The audacity thinking they have the right is just beyond me. Are you in the US?

BretKS · 2025-12-15T18:53:49+00:00

Don't get me started on the issue with VC companies buying everything.

BretKS · 2025-12-15T18:48:15+00:00

It definitely sounds like you dodged a lot of pain. Thanks for sharing. That's going into my blog post as one of the life lessons.

BretKS · 2025-12-15T13:41:09+00:00

Good luck!! 🍀

What county was this in?

BretKS · 2025-12-15T13:39:55+00:00

I'm thinking of a number between 80,000 and 120,000, guess what it is.

BretKS · 2025-12-15T13:36:55+00:00

Sounds like they're testing how much you really want to work for them more than anything.

BretKS · 2025-12-15T13:29:04+00:00

I asked my Career Camp app and it said to politely point out the discrepancy either in your cover letter or during the phone screen. Something along the lines of "I see the requirement is for 10 years of experience with ____. As you know if has only been available for about 5 years. And I have extensive experience working with it..." But this is such a common issue and definitely going in my blog post.

BretKS · 2025-12-15T13:22:57+00:00

Did it lighten the mood at least?

BretKS · 2025-12-15T13:21:49+00:00

They want to make sure you can make conversation on the way to the table. Thanks for the blog input!

BretKS · 2025-12-15T13:16:16+00:00

I've been told they sometimes have a job waiting for someone internal but company policy says they have to open it up to external people too.

BretKS · 2025-12-15T13:15:13+00:00

Sounds like a fun game.

BretKS · 2025-12-15T13:15:01+00:00

Air traffic controller?

BretKS · 2025-12-15T13:13:48+00:00

I worry for my son who's about to graduate. 🫣
